Movie Review ~ Raiders of the Lost Ark 1981

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)



I was sure I had seen this movie, but apparently I was wrong because I just watched it the other day and recognized very little.  Obviously I must have seen commercials, trailers or something.

What a riot!  It is full of excitement and danger and adventure . . . all ridiculously overplayed.  Loved it!  The race is on to find the lost ark and everybody wants it -- even Hitler.  But who will find it first?

You need something fun and silly to watch . . . watch this!
