cast, bravura camera work, gorgeous scenery - some movies I thought of while watching: Jaws, Armageddon, Aliens, ROTLA, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Police Story, Alien, Prometheus, The Host, Predator. I need to read about it - am curious about story intentions & what went over my head. #filmsky

Look familiar?? I saw that on tv when I was like eight, and it scarred me for LIFE. And I'd already seen Nazi heads melting and exploding in RotLA
, IN THE THEATER, at five years of age with no problem!
Granted, they were Nazis, and even as young as five I knew what Nazis deserved, but STILL...

So when I saw the crate holding the Ark BURN the symbol of the Reich off itself, I was like, "God hates Nazis. Huh. Makes sense, I do, too!"
Being impressed that God shared MY values is some fun foreshadowing about me Not Being Catholic anymore, but I digress.
Point is: I had NO trauma from RotLA.

It occurred to me today that I saw "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Flash Gordon" at the same VERY young age (not even in 1st GRADE), but only one of them traumatized me for life, and it WASN'T RotLA.
I saw a dude filled with arrows TWICE, I saw spiders and deadly traps, and was like, "Whoa, cool."

T2 is one of those rare initialized abbreviations for a movie title where you say it and everyone knows what you mean and what the T stands for.
If you called RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK "RotLA" nobody would know what movie you were talking about.

80's nostalgiafest. Got to see ROTLA and TLBT in theaters. They still hold up. Raiders may be my favorite 80s movie. TBL gets better with every watch. First watch for MOTH. Highly recommend. A love letter to immigrants. Will definitely watch again (and again). #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

Well, it starts with a cultural theft. Then, if you want, Google the RotLA argument from Big Bang Theory.

Took a film class in college where we had a visiting Italian professor who used RotLA to talk about how some films are mostly propaganda. Even HF’s costume is exactly the same as one worn by then president Reagan in some old movie…

Wrapping up with a tribute to my favorite movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, celebrating its 45th anniversary today! There was a time I could recite the entire movie word for word. I have a bin just for ROTLA memorabilia, including my first Indy hat and whip from when I cosplayed him in high school.

"RotLA" is OLDER. 45 years now vs. 42 years for "GwtW" in 1981. 😱

OMG. I’ve never read this before. Without that ending, ROTLA, as good as it is, just wouldn’t work. Thank you Marcia Lucas.

I've seen the VSO/Raiders live show at the Orpheum, but nothing can compare to Ween tribute band Captain Fantasy/ROTLA live at the Princeton. Tried and true

I still need to watch that new version of Hellraiser. What did you think of it?
I watch RotLA semi-annually, though. I’m always down for watching Indy punch Nazis.
