The Panda Posted April 16, 2017 Author Share Posted April 16, 2017 (edited) Number 1 Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage. " Most Valuable Player: The Whole Damn Movie Box Office: 212.2m (668.1m Adjusted) Tomatometer: 94% Notable Awards: Won 4 Oscars, nominated for Best Picture Synopsis: Archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones is hired by the U.S. government to find the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis. Critic Opinion: "To get to the point immediately, Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the most deliriously funny, ingenious, and stylish American adventure movies ever made. It is an homage to old-time movie serials and back-lot cheapies that transcends its inspirations to become, in effect, the movie we saw in our imaginations as we watched, say, Buster Crabbe in Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars or in Sam Katzman's Jungle Jim movies. The film, which opens today at Loews Astor Plaza and other theaters, is the result of the particularly happy collaboration between Steven Spielberg, its director, and George Lucas, who is one of its executive producers and who, with Philip Kaufman, wrote the original story on which Lawrence Kasdan's screenplay is based. As Mr. Lucas's Star Wars helped itself to all sorts of myths, folk tales, and characters from children's fiction and fused them into a work of high originality, and as Mr. Spielberg's Close Encounters of the Third Kind made sweetly benign a kind of science-fiction film that had turned paranoid, Raiders of the Lost Ark refines its tacky source materials into a movie that evokes memories of moviegoing of an earlier era but that possesses its own, far more rare sensibility." - Vincent Canby, New York Times User Opinion: "My favorite film! This is THE film. Such a well made movie, I just love it so much!BTW-this was for a while the only straight A film on BOM." - Impact Reasoning: I don't even know how to do a write-up for this movie, it's just that damn good. From the sprawling visual sequences, to Harrison Ford's legendary performance, to the magnificence in its serial adventurism, to John Williams' score, to the exciting pacing, to the screenplay by Kasden that simply flies off of the pages. There's just not another movie that manages to be as pure fun as this movie, and not only that, but being blockbuster craft at the finest. It's a movie I have loved since I was a child, and it's one that let my imagination run wild. It's a movie that never fails to be thoroughly entertaining in just every single manner of the word. Raiders of the Lost Ark is the reason you go to the movies, it's the reason you get giddy as you get a bag of popcorn, it's simply the best. I don't have much more to say than that.
