When I moved my blog over to the new site last week I remembered how much I LOVE Raiders of the Lost Ark. It’s just this fantastic story, beautifully filmed, and I love the opening of the movie.

“No time to argue, throw me the idol!” Me and my siblings used to say this to each other all the time, especially when we wanted something fast. It’s better if you try to do the accent of Alfred Molina.

People always talk about the big ball rolling behind Indy as he is running out of the cave, but my favorite part of this clip is the part where he is standing in front of the statue getting ready to replace the sand bag in his hand with the idol. The soundtrack, the lighting, and Harrison Ford’s face are just to magical…

Have fun with it. “You could warn them…if only you spoke Hovitos.”
