Greatest Trilogies: #4 Indiana Jones

Ace director Steven Spielberg has done it all in his illustrious career. What would stand out as one of his greatest achievements is inarguably Indiana Jones. Here was a character that was symbolic of everything that “Swashbuckling adventurer” stood for. Its old fashioned stylized action was what big screen movie watching was all about – treasure, conspiracies, secrets, tombs, death traps, snakes… et all. Spielberg might not have got to direct a Bond movie, as was his childhood dream, but his partnership with visionary George Lucas did get him to work with Sean Connery instead. While Raiders of the Lost Ark will always remain the greatest of the three for sheer spunk, the trilogy as a whole is worthy of every movie buff’s collection.
