Raiders of the Lost Ark

(1981)

Indy, why does the floor move? OMG. This movie needs literally no introduction. It’s the classic supernatural adventure story that gifted us all with Indiana Jones, arguably Harrison Ford’s best character (Han, stop looking at us). He’s an archaeologist Bond set in the mid-30s, an era of time where mysticism abounded and the ancient world was still being discovered, un-buried, and looted for its powerful, cursed treasures. Nazis! Creepy-crawlers! Temples! Old Testament! ROMANCE! Raiders of the Lost Ark has it all.
