In 1981, this movie was deemed to be PG. Just excuse the nazi imagery, since 5 year old kids should be allowed to watch Hitler trying to conquer the world if only they are accompanied by an adult. As previously stated, the 80's were a different time.
(and yes, Mr. H, I did steal your ratings joke. What are you gonna do, jug me?) Indiana Jones, an archaeology professor, is alarmed when he hears of how the Germans were trying to locate and steal ancient artifacts, such as the Lost Ark. And, yes, this was when the Germans were bad. Jones then goes on to foil the Nazi's plans, while juggling around his fear of snakes, as well as his ex-girlfriend. With a simple plot like that and a lack of high-tech special effects, I'm not sure how this movie could fail. It's a standout classic to say the least. It's a movie that has a certain niche in the film world that doesn't have many others who satisfied the same story line as itself. My absolute favorite parts of this movie were the traps Indi had to pass through during his dangerous treks in the caves. I also loved the sense of whit this movie had, there were many times where I audibly laughed during it (pretty impressive, since laughing in a quiet room alone is a rare occurance). Overall, this movie was fantastic and I can't wait to watch every other one (besides Crystal Skull).
