Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984): The darker move for the series is great and setting it in India was a masterstroke.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989): The series becomes a tad too light, but Sean Connery is great and the insight into Indy's past is much appreciated. Sadly many of the set pieces which sound great on paper just aren't that entertaining.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008): Too goofy, and Shia LaBeouf really isn't that good. On the other hand, Cate Blanchett makes a great villain, and the return of Karen Allen is great. The updating of the series to the 5os is very well done.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
Jaws (1975): Easily dismissed by many as just another big animal movie, this boasts strong character development and pure entertainment.
Marie Antoinette (2006): The cinematography is beautiful and the soundtrack is perfect. If you can forget about this being a period piece then it is really enjoyable.
Lost in Translation (2003): Excellent all round, especially to those who have been to Japan.
Back to the Future 3 (1990): The series gets better for the final segment, an enjoyable nod to westerns.
Back to the Future 2 (1989): A drop in quality.
Back to the Future (1985)
