One day I'll get around to watching the Indiana jones movies

You've got yourself a gawdamn partner

Love these classic movies being replayed. I've hit the Maltese Falcon, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the Ten Commandments over the last couple of months. I hope this is an idea that keeps going.

Love hearing this! Makes me want to take advantage of screenings like this more often.

I did this with my son two years ago. I hadn't seen it on the big screen since 1981. It's absolutely my most favorite film.

Damn near got emotional over it.

Needless to say he loved it.

He ran it by Spielberg before he did it. I think the sword fighter and the crowd were surprised though. I think it's funny how the sword fighter just rolled with it.

Yeah, there was a whole fight scene choreographed, with the whip and everything.

Ford was sick that day, so they just did this instead and movie history was made.....

I believe the Hollywood legend says he had dysentery that day.

Glad to hear that people are still enjoying this.

My all-time favorite movie.

How does one get through life to this point without having seen any Indiana Jones movie? Do yourself a massive favor and get the BluRay discs and watch them immediately.

The best of them, by far, are Raiders and the Last Crusade. These two movies are among my top 5 all-time favorites. I love the interaction between Ford and Connery and The Last Crusade. Great movie.

The Temple of Doom is about as good as The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with Doom holding a slight edge, I suppose, given the lack of the Transformers doofus. Although it does include the highly annoying Chinese kid, so I don't know.

Took my youngest (8 years old) to see this at Cinemark tonight and am pleased to say that there was not an empty seat in the theater for this showing.

From the reactions of the crowd, this may have been a first viewing for many. I'm glad that theaters show these classic movies and I'm glad that many people take advantage of seeing these films on the big screen. It may be the first time for many, or, like me, haven't seen it on a big screen in decades.

Seeing this film (one of the greatest of all time) on the big screen in an enthusiastic and packed theater with my boy just really made me happy.

Kudos!

Back in 2012 the AMC Theater in Sugar Land had an all-day Indiana Jones marathon. I went because I rarely pass up the opportunity to see old favorites on the big screen. This was in September 2012, which normally finds me nowhere near a theater because of Aggie football ... but that was the day the Ags blasted SMU on the road.

I also did something like this at the Katy Cinemark recently when they showed Jaws one night. Lots of people in the theater that night. And it was great to finally get to see that one on the big screen - my parents would not let my 8-year-old butt see that one when it came out in '75.

Would do these triple features anytime:

Original Star Wars Trilogy
Indiana Jones Trilogy (Skulls doesn't count)
Back to the Future Trilogy

Hell yeah! Add Wayne's World, Ace Venture/Dumb and Dumber, Sandlot, Tommy Boy, and Rudy. That was my childhood.

A few years back Cinemark showed "The Godfather"... not a seat to be had and everyone loved it.

Mighty Ducks 1 and 2 in a theater would be awesome.

QUACK. QUACK. QUACK.

Raiders and Last Crusade are the only two worth watching. Two movies is not that big a time investment, and those two really are amazing.

SPOILER ALERT!!!

Looks like my local theatre has a Kubrick double header this week, closely followed by Dazed and Confused, and then On the Waterfront. Good times this month at the local Cineplex.

I know this will be counted as heresy, but during the last big chase I completely lost interest in what was happening and probably would have left a few minutes later if I'd been by myself. The first part was great, awesome music, but at least half an hour too long.

My local theater is showing Sandlot right now.
