My brother-in-law found this in his parent's basement and, knowing how much of an Indy fan I am, passed it on to me.

Sorry for the size...just remember it's not the size, but the motion of the ocean that counts...I scanned it full size, but it shrinks when I upload to photobucket.

Kewl! Hey-- "Stripes" w/Uncle Bill Murray! I was just thinking about that movie the other day:

"That's the facts, Jack"

"THAT'S THE FACTS, JACK!!"

I have a copy of "The Fox and the Hound." Really touching Disney movie not many people recall.

Guess my brain is continually in 1980's mode... :cool:

Not to mention those ads for Dragonslayer, For Your Eyes Only, Canonball Run and Escape From New York.

That's a neat piece of history you have there. It's too bad that Hollywood never releases so many great films together anymore: Indy, Bond, The Muppets and many other films listed there are great. These days I'm lucky if I can even find one film that looks interesting.

I'm surprised that the Pittsburgh Press ran that version of the For Your Eyes Only ad. I'm the only one here old enough to remember it, but that poster caused a bit of scandal in the U.S. The answer was to ink in more suit for the model, thereby better 'covering' her 'a$$ets.'

I'm seeing Dragonslayer that summer and thinking it was pretty cool. The female lead was attractive.

Wow. Thanks for that, SKAbatula. There were a lot of nice films playing then, especially compared to today's stuff. You got Escape From New York, Superman II, For Your Eyes Only, along with Raiders of course. :whip:
