Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) - Steven Spielberg

Classic. Instant classic. I watched this in a film studies class, and it has long been one of my favourites. A great start to the franchise. Harrison Ford is spectacular, as he always is, and the supporting characters are well rounded and the villains delightfully evil.

PS Thank God it wasn't Temple of Doom, I was sat next to a guy who looks the spit of Short Round, and I never could have kept a straight face.
