Raiders of the Lost Ark

1981

Directed by Steven Spielberg

Netflix says… When Dr. Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford)–the tweed-suited professor who just happens to be a celebrated archaeologist–is hired by the government to locate the legendary Ark of the Covenant, he finds himself up against the entire Nazi regime. Creative minds Steven Spielberg and George Lucas created a classic with this all-time favorite, which spawned a series of commercially successful sequels and a short-lived TV show.

Is it wrong that I already considered this to be one of the most awesome movies of all time? If it is, I don’t care. ‘Cause I do consider this to be one of the most awesome movies of all time. The guy teaches a subject that a lot of people probably consider boring. I wouldn’t, because I love history. But history classes tend to go under appreciated. But he also walks around wearing a fedora and carrying a bullwhip. Yeah, I dare you to call his class boring. To his face, I mean. And if you think you can outdo him with a sword, don’t try. He’ll just shoot you.
