Top 5 indiana Jones Moments

I really enjoy the Indiana Jones series. Just as an FYI we are going to be giving away copies of the new Collectors DVD set of all three films. Spiffy.. I know. anyrate our friends at MovieTickets.com did a poll of 2,000 of their customers asking what their favorite Indiana Jones moment was and here are the top 5 in order with my own 2 cents added.

1) Indy shooting the expert swordsman in "Raiders of the Lost Ark": As a practitioner of martial arts my entire life I had a problem with the blocky and cheesy combat in the indie films but have to say this moment was pure genius.

2) Indy and the boulder in the opening scene of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" : This is one of many great sequences where indie 'escapes'. This one was fun because it was a giant boulder which makes it stand out but as a whole there is a multitude of great scenes in this movie.

3) Indy reaches under a closing door to grab his hat in "Raiders of the Lost Ark": Another great scene. Almost as good if not equal to the giant boulder chase scene.

4) The mine cart escape from the "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". This was a fun and intense chase and a really creative and new spin on the 'car chase' angle instead making it be mine carts on tracks.

5) The snake pit in "Raiders of the Lost Ark": Humanizing Indie and showing what really scares him was funny and effective in really bringing the human element to Indiana Jones.
