YOU WILL FIND: Reactions and commentary on movies I have seen, including "spoiler" references (because otherwise it wouldn't be much more than "mm, ug, liked it" or "argh, didn't like it") YOU WILL NOT FIND: Detail by detail summaries (because it's not the present purpose of this blog) READ. COMMENT. ENJOY. THANKS FOR VISITING.

"Raiders of the Lost Ark" (1981)
The music (so well known, especially in band circles) is definitely in the spirit of The Adventures of Robin Hood. It keeps things rousing yet light-hearted without getting too hokey. It was fun hearing the French horns get to be part of the truck chase scene along with the trumpets (which play throughout). I've already seen a couple of the other Indiana Jones movies, but it was nice to finely see the first. Harrison Ford was definitely a little younger then. The movie is good, but I think the music is part of what made the movie great. Honestly, picture the movie with a radically different sound track. I don't think it would've had the same pizzazz.
