Raiders of The Lost Ark, 6:05, RTÉ 2.

Arghus

I'm going to watch this for the umpteenth time.

alchemist33

One of my 3 favourite films ever, and it never gets old

FFVII

Nope, not this year.

No time waste this year.

New stuff or brill comedies only.

At least it's not the really crap Indy movie.

Remember when it was the big movie on Christmas Day 1984, RTE 1

Arghus

Alfred Molina. The little shyte.

Amazing these films are nearly 40 years old yet they continue to age so well.

Some of the parts set in Cairo are a bit dated, but the film is amazingly fresh.

Marty Bird

I like to wait for BBC to show it as they show all the Indy movies on consecutive days which starts the 27th Dec.

RTÉ are up to the same trick over the next few days.

Arghus

The scene where Indy and Marcus have to explain everything about the Ark to the two bozos from the government is the best exposition scene ever.

And Back to the Future.

Arghus

According to this film the craic was absolutely ninety in Nepal in the '30s

Marion Ravenwood is the hottest movie character ever.

SharpshooterTom

Ah the iconic gun vs sword scene.

PsychoPete

Always bring a gun to a sword fight

Hangdogroad

So many fave scenes to choose from. When he fights the big bald nazi. The Arab sword guy, the big car, truck chase.

Aisling(",)

I totally forgot about the monkey in this!

I do.

And it's still the big movie on RTE Christmas Day 2019.

Looks like our licence money isn't being spent on buying the latest movies.

It's not the Christmas season for me unless Indy and Back to the Future are in there somewhere.

branie2

It passes the test

Arghus

It's not the years honey; it's the mileage.

A Bond, a Die Hard, and Home Alone as well.

Is that the one with the Ninja in it on the bridge?
Whichever one it is that is my favourite Indiana Jones bit in any of the films.
Unfortunately the auld ones are watching a film about nuns delivering babies instead!. Set in the Hebrides in the 1960's.

Edit - It was not on a bridge or a ninja-

SEPT 23 1989

Why can’t they make films like this anymore

Cody montana

Frankly me fear, I don’t give a damn.

You really think so? I got the impression she is a bit plain and meant to be that way.

Spleerbun

I think she's tops

She's lovely, she does the "normal" beauty very well. Same in Scrooged.

martingriff

Is this the one they say in the Big Bang Theory it would have ended the same with or without Indiana Jones

I've always felt the ending is a bit lame alright.

That priest is out of his depth

She's sex on legs.

Because then there’d be accusations of them being, raiders of the lost art.

She's too uptight. Having to kill Nazis and find literally the arc of the covenant saving her multiple times and you're still not in, why make life hard?

Galwayguy35

That was the best bit IMO when they opened it and got fried.

Not bad special effects considering it's nearly 40 since it was made.

PsychoPete

I do like how they use the raiders march throughout the whole film or maybe that's just a John Williams thing

Amazingly intense, considering this is meant to be a kid's movie.

It’s not Christmas unless I see at least two out of three Indiana Jones films. And the one with Shia La Beof doesn’t count.

touts

Part of me thinks good God is this the best they could do on Christmas night. Is there nothing else new that would be more worth the licence fee.

Then I snap out of it and remember no. No there isn't. Pass the mince pies there. Indy is in the house.

ollaetta

Used always think the bit where Indy

gets on the submarine just before it submerged and miraculously arrives on the island

was plain daft.

Just googled it and there is an explanation which kind of makes it no less plausible than some of the other suspension of disbelief moments.

(I know I hardly need to blank a spoiler after all these years but you never know).

One of many good films on many channels, too many to mention, and If we advertised all of them there would be so many "I'm gonna watch" threads
