They should make them like that again…
Late last night Raiders of the Lost Ark was on - I was going to flick on thinking that I had it pretty much committed to memory if I ever wanted to watch it again - but you gotta stick around for that opening sequence - spiders on the back, sandbag switch, grab the monkey trophy and sprint 
past the arrows, jump the hole, dive under the door, grab the hat - see Alfred Molina get his spikey comeuppance - then that HUGE ball of stone chases him out the tunnel before legging it from the Indians and jumping on the plane flying off to the familiar tune.
Classic.
Can’t switch over after that - you’re there for the whole film - one of the best ever made - Harrison Ford’s gotta be proud playing two of cinema’s greatest characters - and he does a bang up job - no one else could be Indiana Jones.
Apparently Tom Selleck turned down the role before Ford got it - all I can say is thank fuck almighty for that - Magnum was passable smug Saturday afternoon TV but Jesus Christ just think of what a shitty movie Raiders might of been with Tom Selleck - Damn it would of sucked - only thing worse would of been if David Hasselhoff had got the job.Spo | September 1, 2005
