Raiders Of The Lost Ark

Luke was feeling a bit off-colour tonight so a snuggle on the sofa and a movie-night was in order. We've played the Lego Indiana Jones games on the Xbox loads of times but he's never seen the films so the time had come.

Easy to forget just how many classic or iconic scenes there are in this, there's an absolute gem every 15 minutes or so. The big rolling ball, the shadow on the wall at Marion's bar, shooting the swingy sword bloke, the dragging behind the truck. It's got a real 'lived in' feel to it too which is sorely lacking from the latest installment. Felt an intense paternal pride when Luke said 'Blimey, that's a bit harsh' when several bad arab dudes charged to attack Indy - A) for being so into the film and B) for using such an amusing expression for a 7 year old.

Great film. But you know that. Need a few more movie-nights now to cover the rest of the series. Might try to put off Crystal Skull for a bit though...
