Top Movies of All Time according to IMDB ~ #37 Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) ~ m

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