As with Star Wars, the George Lucas-produced Indiana Jones trilogy was not just a plaything for kids but an act of nostalgic affection toward a lost phenomenon: the cliffhanging movie serials of the past. Episodic in structure and with fate hanging in the balance about every 10 minutes, the Jones features tapped into Lucas's extremely profitable Star Wars formula of modernizing the look and feel of an old, but popular, story model. Steven Spielberg directed all three films, which are set in the late 1930s and early '40s: the comic book-like Raiders of the Lost Ark, the spooky, Gunga Din-inspired Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and the cautious but entertaining Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Fans and critics disagree over the order of preference, some even finding the middle movie nearly repugnant in its violence. (Pro-Temple of Doom people, on the other hand, believe that film to be the most disarmingly creative and emotionally effective of the trio.) One thing's for sure: Harrison Ford's swaggering, two-fisted, self-effacing performance worked like a charm, and the art of cracking bullwhips was probably never quite the iconic activity it soon became after Raiders. Supporting players and costars were very much a part of the series, too--Karen Allen, Sean Connery (as Indy's dad), Kate Capshaw, Ke Huy Quan, Amrish Puri, Denholm Elliot, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies among them. Years have passed since the last film (another is supposedly in the works), but emerging film buffs can have the same fun their predecessors did picking out numerous references to Hollywood classics and B-movies of the past. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Forget how much I liked these movies
It had been YEARS since I had watched the Indiana Jones, but when the new one came out I wanted to watch them again. This was the best deal I found for the price and the picture was great.
Rating: - The Adventures of Indiana Jones - The Complete DVD Movie Collection (Full Screen Edition) (1984)
This set is excellent. I had seen the movies when they originally came out. After we saw the new Indiana Jones movie with my 14 year old son (who had never seen the first three), I bought this set. He loved it, and I enjoyed seeing the movies all over again. I would highly recommend it.
Rating: - Great Movies!
Great movies. My husband loves Indiana Jones movies. Amazon had the best price. I had been shopping around so that I could buy my husband the complete set and found Amazon to be the best bargain. Shipped fast also. I had never seen these movies before so I was happy to continue to watch them after the first one. Very adventurous and exciting.

Rating: - Indiana Jones Set Review
I enjoyed the movies very much and I would really recommend them to people to purchase and own these DVDs. Harrison Ford is a great actor. You can put him in line with Sean Connery, George Clooney, Cary Grant, and many others.
