Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) Steven Spielberg
This is the most fun I’ve had at the theatre in a long time. 70mm was made for adventure films. I loved the silliness, and I had major giggles throughout - I kept looking at my husband with Tom Haverford face like, “did you see that?!”. I’ve seen the other Indiana Jones films, but it’s been a while, and this one makes me eager to re-visit them. Ford + Connery are spectacular, playing off each other wonderfully without turning it into a farce. And somehow there manages to be real emotion without over-sentimentality, something that I think Spielberg can be guilty of. It just seemed like they had so much fun doing this film. Also, River Phoenix! Going in, I had no idea that he was in it, and he was great as a young Indy. This movie is just the embodiment of fun.
