I totally agree. Mads was awesome. And I'm hoping that the prologue de-aging CGI will be less noticeable on a smaller screen at home.I'd love to get this on Tuesday. I really do want to see it again, especially the opening and even the NY stuff. And any moment Mads was in. He stole every scene. Even in the madness of the airplane. He's just so great.
School holidays and my kids wanted to see Fast X. That film was released late May and we couldn’t find a screening before 8pm last week. One month. It’s the new normal. It will be streaming in a couple of weeks. Honestly, I think studios want this scenario. Between skyrocketing budgets, volume of content, these films can’t possibly make their money back unless it’s JC or Tom Cruise (fingers crossed for Dead Reckoning).With the current box office results? Probably Tuesday, lol.
I think you are being generousWor-Gar's rankings are spot on!
1. Raiders
(Mile wide gap)

3. DOD
4. TLC
(Another mile wide gap)
Sorry to detract a bit from the topic, but I just read Wor-Gar’s review and couldn’t believe you’re placing this movie neck and neck with TLC! Maybe my age when I saw TLC partially had to do with my rankings—I was probably ~8-9 when I first saw it the year or so before KOTCS, but I have always loved TLC more than anything else

Completely agree Wor-Gar, Raiders is still to this day a near-perfect adventure film. The action isn’t so far out of the realm of possibility, the supernatural is never so overdone and the humour is there, but not as silly like the ‘others’ in the serial. I really feel it has to do with Spielberg aiming to make it a Maltese Falcon/Treasure of the Sierra Madre style classic, as opposed to Lucas’ pulpy over-the-top Saturday Matinee serial style that the others are more like. That teamed with Lawrence Kasdan’s incredible script/dialog, Harrison’s star turn in the first incarnation of the role he was born to play (I mean seriously, can you imagine if it was moustachioed Selleck instead?!), Williams’ incredible score and Slocombe’s impeccable cinematography.For me, Indy will always be just Raiders... that one film... all others are like little bonuses, some filled with better moments than others.
I think that Clint gif should now become "The King of the Multiverse"... always there, always laughing, in every iteration.
Raiders almost more belongs to a grouping of WWII, action and/or adventure films of the late 60s, 70s and early 80s more than it does to TOD, TLC etc.Every line and frame of Raiders is perfect. It's definitely one of the most rewatchable movies ever up there with T2 for me.
I have always loved TLC more than anything else and actually guessed everyone would have liked it more than ROTLA until I joined this forum
Check this stunt mask out for nightmare fuel!
I think you have it... although as I said I'm still juggling DoD and LC for that coveted 3rd spot.
Right now, because its new and without a 2nd viewing, it kind of hits #3... mostly for that opening 20 minutes and Mads as a great villain.
Mads is definitely in the Top 3 Indy villains for me. Beats Skull and Last Crusade handily... up there with Toht and Mola Ram.
