The Adventures of Indiana Jones: 4 of 5

The Indiana Jones movies are another part of my "essence of childhood" films (along with Star Wars, Clash of the Titans, The Black Hole and Tron), so I've been waiting to see these treasures again for a long time. This was one of the first DVD sets I got for Christmas that I wanted to dig into, and I watched all the bonus material first, which always gets me excited to see the actual films. The documentaries are really good, especially since they reveal a lot about the storymaking process (I never knew just how involved Lucas was with everything), plus some interesting facts (like how Harrison seriously hurt his back making Temple of Doom). The movies themselves are a total treat - nothing will ever top the original, of course, but I enjoyed the second and third films so much. The Last Crusade was really fun to watch, since I remembered it the least out of the three films, and it's a really well-constructed plot (I love the opening sequence with Indy as a child that provides a backstory for everything about the character - even the scar on Harrison's chin!). Anyone who grew up watching these exciting stories really needs to see them again!
