The Awesome Power of Raiders of the Lost Ark

In 1981, Steven Spielberg shook hands with George Lucas to make Raiders of the Lost Ark. Over 40 years later, Indiana Jones's first outing remains a powerful source of inspiration, entertainment and brilliance...

For me Raiders of the Lost Ark is the most engaging, exciting and thoroughly entertaining film that has ever been made and a timeless classic that will never lose it's relevance. Steven Spielberg has made many magnificent films but Raiders is his crowning cinematic achievement, as far as i'm concerned. It's a truly exceptional film that i never tire of watching and i would even go so far as to say that the ever brilliant John Williams did his absolute finest work as a composer for the film. Raiders is undeniably a genuine masterpiece of filmmaking.

[@JediMindTrix420]

It does have it all. I’ve lost count as to how many times it’s been watched in our home. Some movies just never grow old.

[@jamiejackson3903]

Agreed. Unfortunately, each successive installment was more and more diluted. The character was never fully realized again following the original. Have to blame the writers and, sadly, the man himself -- Harrison Ford.

@@danielasuncion9991 uuh what he means is... Spielberg and Lucas aren't involved in this one and Lucasfilm has changed since Indy 4... expect the usual woke blueprint where the 'toxic masculine protagonist' is gonna bumble around, so they can gender swap and the fedora has now a vagina (Phoebe Waller-Bridge) and then they kill off the 'toxic masculine protagonist' or he becomes a depressed shell or if rumors are correct, they gonna time travel to erase his entire existence and pretend that Phoebe Waller-Bridge did all the trilogy stuff all along. Welcome to the woke blueprint of basically any story, any franchise.

Raiders is my favorite film of all time. The Indiana Jones character changed my life, literally. Because of the movie, I studied anthropology / archeology in college, traveled world-wide for 12 years compiling information & photos for a book on human ecology and have worn khaki and tan clothes since 1981. Sad but true .....

[@donnswaby369]

Not sad at all, brother. My fav film as well. I am a writer and currently shopping a sci fi series dealing with magical artifacts, my protagonist is an archaeologist, ancient civilizations.

I've seen Raiders of the Lost Ark over 200 times. I used to belong to many fan pages, I know the extensive history of the series and it's filming , and have every single Hasbro toy ever made and many customs that weren't produced. Raiders of the Lost Ark is a classic film and my all-time favorite

[@Digginjim]

I never tire of raiders. It's pure brilliance from filmmakers at the peak of their powers. They never matched it. Indy is never as brutal and tough again as he is in this. It has grit, which seemed to vanish from later entries and movies of this type in general. Great video.

[@missingno88]

last crusade is the next best indy film and despite harrison being older its almost just as good as raiders, and the addition of sean connery really propels it further

[@Maverick8t88]

I’ve literally seen this movie well over 120x. I spent one summer vacation as a kid watching it every day. 3 months x 30 days = so at least 90 times before I was 12 years old. One of the top 10 movies of all time. Absolutely as close to perfect as any movie can get.

[@andybaker7558]

I've seen it that many times and hate it now.

[@kaleidoscopicvoid]

I did the same lol

[@colin8802]

This movie is one of my favorite examples of "making more with less". These days, if a studio has any faith whatsoever in a project, they'll give it an astronomical budget with nonstop CG effects that totally take you out of the experience. Movies used to be so much more immersive, and sadly I don't think they'll ever be that way again.

[@arpie100]

I was very busy at the time and my wife said we were going to the movies...I saw the title and thought it might be an action movie....what an understatement...it took me on a trip that I hadn't experience since the matinee serials...and then further. One of the best ever. Just when you thought it was over, it picked you up and away you went. Wow.

[@tylerthompson1842]

Thinking about these two bros lounging around casually talking about whether or not to make these epic movies equally blows my mind and warms our heart. I can’t think of a world without the Indiana Jones series lol

[@74kid]

I was born in 74 and literally grew up with Star Wars, it was my life. I didn’t see Raiders until about 83 at my friends house on VHS. I still cannot believe that Lucas was involved in another movie as good as Star Wars, how can you be so good! If you add Jaws and ET into it, that Lucas/Spielberg period from 74 to 83 was golden.

[@PanDownTiltLeft]

I saw it in the theater when it was released. I had no idea what it was about. It is my favorite film of all time. I have seen it probably 50 times.

[@robertbeckman2054]

My favorite film by miles and miles. I’ve seen it 60+ times. My two favorite scenes: the truck chase and the fight scene in Marion’s bar. My second film seen in the theater at the age of 9 (my first was The Empire Strikes Back).

Raiders of the Lost Ark was the entire reason I decided to become an Egyptologist. And I did.

14 times in the theaters back when it first came out. For some reason, my Dad and I just couldn’t get enough of it. It was an every weekend thing for us. Since VHS, DVD, Blue Ray and now streaming, I’ve lost count. It’s in my top 5 for sure. 😎👍

[@TGM_Productions]

Quite honestly, my favourite film of all time. As someone into filmmaking, I can just telepathically sense the craftsmanship and dedication set into this film. I find it wonderfully crazy how a film inspired by old action serials has now inspired me and many others into making their own films. I honestly believe every scene is insanely iconic, memorable and simply amazing.

Imagined an 11 year old boy first time at the movie theater with his mom watching Raiders of the Lost Ark. Opening scene with Indie trekking thru the jungle. He has no idea what's coming in the next 2 hours. It was pure magic. Nonstop action and pure fun. I will be forever grateful to Lucas and Spielberg for this movie.

[@flembake]

It's now officially the 40th anniversary of this film and I just watched it for the first time, in theaters! It was brilliant and honestly happy I hadn't watched it until now because I got to experience it on a big screen. This was a great video to learn a lot about its inception, BTS details, and on-screen mishaps that made it into the film. It really is a masterpiece of a film and thanks for making proper breakdown of it all.

[@a.ericschlobohm97]

Top knotch video! I saw 'Raiders' in 1981 at the age of 12. Any young man, or woman for that matter at the time and just as relevant, today, can relate to this timeless and ever inspired masterpiece of fun, romance, and ADVENTURE. The themes here will last forever and will always drive us to explore the boundless imagination of Cinema.

Really enjoy how you talk about the movie. Obviously a true love for you. Great movie and indeed it embraces older cinema. I was born in '74 and seen it many times. These movies were such a huge part of our childhood because it has tons of fantasy, action, other cultures, humor, plot...and a lot of screen trickery without cgi. It was truly an art to make movies like that, even a child knew. Feel blessed to have been a kid back in those days. Very well done !

I think almost everybody in the Netherlands has seen this trilogy at least 10 times. It was a classic staple on tv in the 90's around Christmas, you could bet that during the Christmas holiday you'd see the Princess Sissi musical, Home alone, Indiana Jones and multiple versions of a Christmas Carrol and the iconic 'Always Coca Cola' commercial they ran every year with that truck. Those were the days....

[@toospooky051]

I know this film backwards and forwards so well i can honestly say I could recite every single line with the characters. I can play the entire movie in my head by just listening to the soundtrack.

[@fernandoDcampos]

My favorite movie of all time. When I had 10 y.o. it was a blast, and I saw the movies 20 or more times. But for five or more years, I saw movies from all countries, cultures and directors. When I came back to the movie, I saw another movie, I understood why it was so brilhant and with a different perspective, I love it even more. For me, Temple of Doom is the underrated of the series and for very different reasons, it is the other masterpiece of the Indiana Jones series. The power of Raiders, was the power of bring to us a sequel, so unique and the last time the two friend did an experiment. The other two movies were a safer bet. Excelent video.

[@rickyclover9393]

I just seen last night. Brilliant! I was surprised how violent the violence as villains spit out blood as they died, dead guy impaled by spikes and death to Nazis by Ark of the Covenant and it didn't get an R rating. This and Temple of Doom was daring filming to genre Hollywood stopped doing since the in 1940s.

[@joeottsoulbikes415]

I ssw Raiders of the Lost Ark in the thester when I was 11 years old. For dome reason it was playing in the old theater of little downtown Hopkinsville Ky instead of the two screen theater at the mall. That was perfect though. It helped draw me in more. The theater was smaller. Built in the 1920's for stage production. It had balconies for special guest of the play house. Ornate wood work moldings everyplace. Heavy, giant red velvet curtains from roof to floor. It had been built for the love of theater and remodeled for the love of film instead of the clinical desire for money like the multiplex. The taste of the small batch popcorn, real butter was better. I rode my BMX bike from my house, locked it to the stare handrail of the Sheriff station next door. I heard a deep rough southern voice assure me it would still be there when I came out. I looked up to see a deputy standing tall with a cowboy hat, in his stiff starched tan uniform, badge glowing in the sun, outside on his smoke break. I walked away looking back at my bike again. He promised once more it wasn't going anyplace without me as he patted the gun on his waist. That environment by myself, no parents, drew me into the film. It was easy to imagine myself within the film. Afterward I rode home and took a cut through the old woods, around the abandoned saw mill, through the partially demolished hospital. The whole way I was imagining my bike was an airplane taking me on an adventure for some long lost artifact. All this helped that movie make a bigger impact than it could have in any other way.

[@travishayes840]

Countless times I’ve seen it! The way it is shot…. Not just the action, but most every scene! I never noticed it until I was older, but most movies are so basic. This felt epic in almost every shot. Simple head turns and close ups are so memorable. These were producers and directors at the height of their powers.

I have to point out that Spielberg chose the camera setups, directing them in the storyboard process, whereas Slocombe was photographically and technically responsible for executing the visual aesthetic.

In 1981 As a 13year old boy I've always regreted not watching Raiders of The Lost Ark at The Cinema. Years Later After Watching it for the first time on VHS and Seeing Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade on The Big Screen in 84 and 89. I'm now 55 and it's still one of my favourite movies of all time. Years later Between 1996 - 1999 I worked in a Ten Screen Cinema in Basingstoke and on Thursday Nights we had special showings of classics. One Night we Showed Raiders of The Lost Ark, so as it was my day off I used one of my weekly free tickets for staff and Watched it. My Dream of Seeing it on The Big Screen Finally came true. So now after also seeing Kingdom of Crystal Skull at The Cinema. At The End of June with the release of The fifth movie in The series I will have gone full circle. Long Live Indiana Jones and Thank You For Being A Huge Part of Our Childhood's Growing Up 😎🎬

I hope they never reboot the series. No contemporary actor has Ford’s charisma. His unique ability to strike the fine balance of badass and nerdy/comedic makes the character work. Please, Disney, let Indy belong to the ages after Indy 5.

This is a really well done video - it's both personal and technical which makes it that much more interesting for me. Nice that you're able to include audio and video from the production. (One note - when you say that Spielberg would go on to make Jurassic Park and Schindler's List 20 years later - it was just ten years. Raiders came out in 1981 and Jurassic and Schindler came out in 1993).

Everyone talks about the influence of the Republic serials from the 1930s, but Raiders has obvious influences from the Rat Patrol, a 1960s serial set in the North Africa Campaign of WWII.

John Williams music alone makes this movie spectacular. For example, the music played during the Map Room scene makes the scene so much more impactful.

All of the music from the film is phenomenal, but that's what came to my mind.
