What if Raiders of the Lost Ark was a 50's movie

Would it be as entertaining without John Travolta's Klingon...?
Without the visual effects designed to stop you realising how ludicrous the whole premise/plot actually is?

It was on tv some time last year. I think I made it two minutes into the film...

Then you are to be commended!

*Finger backs away from the deadly laser button*

I could only bear it because I watched the whole thing once.

Seeing the opening credits of that bastard come on the screen, is like recieving word from the captain that a mountain range is heading for your nose cone at 400mph and theres nothing that can be done but prepare for hideous impact as everyone prepares to become one with the rocks/fire/bits of shredded plane metal.

And that would be the good news.

Fantastic. I wonder what that movie is they took teh Charlton heston footage. It looks very Raiders...

It's "The Greatest Show on Earth." He's the high boss and the owner of the circus, and he always wears a fedora. The place where he says, "Where's my hat?" is right after he gets in an accident and has to receive a blood transfusion from his rival romantic lead. It was the first movie Charlton Heston was in, and he won an Academy Award for best actor. Oh. And he uses a whip a lot in "The Greatest Show..." I'm pretty sure they used sound clips from "The Ten Commandments," especially when he's talking about, "and no man shall lay eyes on it."

I haven't seen many Peter Lorre movies, and I don't think it's from Casablanca, because his character is a real whiner and wheedler.

Gregory Peck looks like it's from the Alfred Hitchcock... I think it's called "Notorious?"

The actress I haven't heard of...

Love the Ascot on Heston.

Ah yes, Greatest Show on Earth... should have spotted that.

Its actually a misnomer.

It contains zero scenes of Mutt Williams being sent onto the surface of a sun.

But there are plenty in your dreams.

Indeed. Lovely HD dreams in the beautiful 1080p of the minds eye.

With awesome BR sound in 5.1 so I can hear him screaming and burning in ultra sharp and dynamic sound.

Merry Xmas to you guys, hope you're all having good ones.

May your holidays all be free of excessive yet meaningless CGI.

this and the forest gump one are the best. the man is a genius, lol.

I am a genius indeed.... Well spotted.
