The 25th anniversary of Raiders of the Lost Ark is Monday, June 12 and I can't believe there isn't much fanfare surrounding it. Jaws saw a huge fan event and celebration last year for its 30th anniversary. Raiders is a bigger film than Jaws.

I agree that a celebration about the film is definately in order. At least we'll honor it here at The Raven, even if nobody else does. I'll be celebrating by watching the film myself.:whip:

Out of the three biggest Indy sites, TheRaider.net, The Indy Experience.com and Indiana Jones.com, only TR.n has noted the Raiders 25th anniversary by adding one small 100x35 pixel pic with a link to their site. Pathetic.

Why is there any need for an anniversary celebration when Lucasfilms is doubtlessly still bloated from the DVD revenue?

Actually I just realised it's a public holiday in my state. Monday is the Queen's Birthday holiday. It's a long weekend. So I can watch each film on all three days. But, I'll watch LC (Saturday) then ToD (Sunday) and Raiders on Monday!

I the only thing I'd like for the anniversary is a press release confirming that work has commenced on the next film.

Dream on Joey, dream on . . .

Well I have my copy of ROTLA all ready and waiting for tonight after work, and a good work out at the driving range!

Raiders is my favorite movie. I haven't had a comparable experience since first seeing it 25 years ago. As I watched it, I kept thinking "THAT'S the way for me!" It inspired me as nothing else has, and changed my life for good...

Then maybe it'll get a big thing on it's 30th anniversary.

Or maybe it's not all the important to begin with.

Oh, I think the Indy films were very important. Their box-office success alone shows that, but I recall some organisation in the US thinks that Raiders of the Lost Ark is so important that they've kept a copy to preserve for future generations. So, on Indy's hundredth anniversary, he may still be cracking that whip :p (EDIT: It's the Library of Congress. I think that speaks for itself!)

Not that I have to tell anyone on this board why those three films are great anyway ;)

Happy Raiders Day, everyone. Here's to Indy IV. :whip:
