Raiders of the Lost Ark
The first film in the famous Indiana Jones trilogy, Raiders of the Lost Ark is an awesome action-packed movie that was instantly made one of the top 50 grossing movies of all time. In this film, the brave Indy must recover the Ark of the Covenant before the Nazis get their claws on it (and of course use it to take over the world). Raiders is extremely famous for the opening scene where Indy runs from a giant boulder after switching the goddess of fertility idol with a bag of sand. There have been countless take-offs on this scene, and one interesting fact is that in the movie The Fugitive (also with Harrison Ford...) Richard Kendall has to run from an oncoming train, just like the boulder in Raiders.
With a whip in hand and fedora on head there's no stopping Indy from kicking the swastikas out of any Nazi in sight![Buy the Movie]
