Raiders and the original Star Wars
These "filmumentaries" are 2-hours long and follow the films themselves, discussing how each scene was put together and inserting behind the scenes footage, alternate takes, audio from interviews, storyboards...
I have a new leather jacket. It is either lamb or goatskin nappa. Label just says "leather."
This discussion thread on weathering a leather jacket here http://www.therpf.com/f24/how-weathe...jacket-122526/ features some posts by users who put their jackets through a wash cycle! One user states...
I was skimming KOTCS yesterday, watching what I consider to be the good parts, and started wondering: is Indy ever called Indiana or Indy by anyone? Mac calls him Jonesy, the dean and Ox call him Henry, Mutt calls him old man, professor, daddy-o. Spalko calls him Jones. Marion is the only one...
Share your favorite film music. More specifically, I mean film music that you like to listen to independently from the film. Not film music that happens to be very good and/or effective while watching the film.
Please try to be more specific than just the film title. If you don't remember...
No wonder, that is, that his face seemed too much like a caricature of Nazi German too be taken seriously. It was already too familiar, implanted permanently when I was ten years old.
And when he shows up briefly in Apt Pupil, this time as a Nazi victim but still a German, it just...
I have an old hat whose felt and overall structure is in fine condition. However, because a dog chewed on it, the inner band (sweat band?) needs to be replaced. Can I obtain one through a supplier or do I have to try to make one myself? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
The liner was...

It's 1980 and Harrison Ford and Karen Allen have been cast for Raiders of the Lost Ark. Could we have done better? I doubt it.
But suppose it were 1970? 1960? 1950? 1940? ** Who would you cast?
Here are a few for starters.
1970: James Garner and Marriette Hartly. If you remember the...
The Chinese that is. My 8-year-old son is half-Chinese (and half me, whatever the hell I am) and speaks fluent Chinese.
I don't remember them all. But here are a few.
Short round yelling at the rickshaw man - "Get out of the way!"

Probably old news, but just in case. The Transporter (2002) redoes the truck scene from Raiders, with a little martial arts thrown in. You can see the scene here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmzaDwA7GdA It's fun.
PLUS!
The head baddie is Lao Che's son!
There is a lot to love about Temple of Doom, especially with its dark tone. However, there are a number of problematic scenes which undermine the credibility of the film. What I mean by "credibility" is the ability of the viewer to feel apprehension because he "believes" that the characters...
When I saw Raiders in 1981 I was twelve. I saw it with my grandfather. It was the last movie he saw in a theatre.
I never would have dreamed that 27 years later I would get to see another Indy movie starring Harrison in the company of my own son and his grandfather (my dad). I don't have the...
having spent too much time already visiting loved ones in nursing homes, I want to do what I can to avoid such a fate for myself.
so I got to thinking, there are numerous tasks out there which, for the sake of accomplishing some good, require someone to risk a violent death. Unfortunately...
This my be old hat but since the Raiders trivia page still reads
I thought maybe someone should correct this. The stunt was indeed first performed by Yakima Canutt, but Stagecoach should not get the credit. Canutt is dragged under the stagecoach in that film, true, but more like someone...
Actually, I think Indy 5 should be a Johnny Quest crossover.
It's 1963 and Prof. Indiana Jones and Dr. Benton Quest are working together on something or other... but whatever it is, Dr Zin must have it!!!
For Race Bannon, I suggest George Clooney.
Is the hat worn in Cairo in ROTLA--in Basket Game and in the bar conversation with Belloq--a bigger or, at least, wider-brimmed hat than in the rest of the movie? Or is it because Harrison Ford was sick and had lost weight? Or is just me?
I've seen Raiders so many times since I was a kid, it's so familiar, I never thought about it before. But leaving Marion tied up in the tent is pretty friggin cold-blooded.
"Hey, I'm here for the ark and you came along cause I didn't have a choice. I thought you were dead already, but I had...
