Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)

Good watch, could watch again, and can recommend.

For Spielberg's American Alan Quartermaine, I can certainly understand what the hype is about, but I've never been a big fan myself.

For starters, Nazis are boring. I'm sure they were all the rage once upon a time as a classic villain, but it doesn't do much for me.

Harrison Ford, of course, carries the movie, but Karen Allen plays really well with him throughout the movie and is amazing in her own right.

If nothing else, Spielberg is able to shoot a powerful atmosphere, and the movie is captivating and engaging.

It's not something I can watch over and over, but when I do watch it I know I'm going to get drawn in and have a great time.
