Movies I have on DVD

Classic!

Definitely the best movie in the old trilogy, even though A New Hope and Return of the Jedi follows very close behind.

Classic!

Spielberg sure hit a home run with this one. Not only do I think it's the best of all the Indy movies (a title I doubt Indy IV will come to challenge), but it's also what I'd like to call the perfect adventure flick. Everything is simply top notch here: the acting, the directing, the story, the dialogue and last but not least, the brilliantly composed soundtrack by John Williams. The only thing that keeps me from giving this a full five stars, is the fact that the special effects are a bit dated by now. I still think I'd wanna keep them as they are though, because I'd hate to see these classics destroyed by George Lucas soulless urge to "re-master" them. Altough, with Spielberg still at the helm of things, I suppose we can allow ourselves to breathe a sigh of relief :-)

One of my all-time favourite adventure movies! Almost as good as the first one. Sean Connery is perfect in the role of Indy's father. It's a pity he didn't return for the fourth and latest film, which he was first rumored to do. Considering the weak nature of the script, however, I suppose I can't blame him for staying in retirement.

Whenever I hear the word "timeless" I think of movies like this one. I mean, considering it's still scary, and still looks good after almost 30 years since it premiered, is a true testimony to Ridley Scott's brilliance as a director. It may not be my favourite among the Alien films (the sequel by James Cameron still holds the crown to me), but it's still one of the best movies ever made, in the sci-fi and horror category alike. I think I've seen it about 6-7 times by now, and I'm bound to see it many times more.

My absolute favourite of all the Alien movies :-)
