[Just Me]

I have a soft spot in my heart for this movie. It's derived in the same vein as the Indiana Jones franchise, of course as it was made to copy its success, and for me it succeded.
I love the way the story flows and the characters are believable. It just tickles the right points in me.

Of course it is also a lookout to what it would have been had Tom Selleck been cast as Indiana Jones.
