The first of the series where we are indroduced to Dr. Jones. This movie and the whole series are just really well writen and put together. They perfectly capture those 40s adventure novels while being completely in time with a modern audience. Karen Allen plays Marion Ravenwood, Indy's best companion (apart from Sallah in my opinion). A classic adventure story that just never gets old!

Probably the greatest action/adventure movie of all time. A classic.

It's probably the worst of the first three Indiana Jones movies. But, it had its moments.

The best Indiana Jones movie and the best adventure movie of all time, Raiders of the Lost Ark is a must see for movie buffs. Harrison Ford is the title character and arguably his best character of all time (I like Han Solo better myself, but Indy's still awesome). Just being nominated for Best Picture is a monumental accomplishment for an "action" movie, and this one probably should've won. So that should give you an idea of just how awesome this movie is.

My favorite of the "Indiana Jones" trilogy...because I refuse to rope in that crappy Crystal Skull nonsense into the greatness of the originals.

i don't understand why people love this film so much. to be honest, i did not enjoy the film. maybe it's because i'm not a fan of comedy-action-adventure films such as pirate of the caribbean, the mummy series, harry potter series, transformers series. i almost fell asleep watching it.

Now come on, how can an adventure movie, loaded with celebrated mega personalities like STEVEN SPIELBERG (Director), and HARRISON FORD ever go wrong? It's like asking "Can there be anybody better than MICHAEL JORDAN?" If JORDAN is Mr Basketball then HARRISON FORD is Mr Adventure. That's all there is to it.

I just saw the latest film, so I had to go back re-watch this one. And, yup, it's still as good as I remember it. A must see for all.

This movie has everything (except an attractive leading lady). Full of non-stop action and adventure. Indiana Jones is the ultimate hero - handsome, smart, tough and endearingly shy. This movie really raised the bar for all future action films. Spielberg is a genius! A true classic.

This movie never stops moving. Every moment is action follwed by action. Great entertainment and the funniest part was the shooting of the swordsman, which was apparently ad-libbed by Harrison Ford as a result of a battle with dysentery and a desire to get to a rest room!
