'Sleeper'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
the thing Indy's looking for in any given is what kicks off the action, but I've never given it enough importance to really care what it was, let alone make it part of my personal definition of what makes it an Indy movie.
I've actually given it thought because of one thing -- The two best Indy movies are the ones where he's trying to recover Christian relics. The two lesser movies, he is not.

Absolutely. I don't know why this is, but it is true.
That's why I advocate Indiana Jones and The Spear of Destiny. Alas, my genius will go unrecognized as by the time I could work any miracles like completing a script, Harrison Ford will have crumbled to dust.

Point. Abrahamic?
That works.
The Spear of Destiny

Wow. I guess I did just totally forget about the Jews, huh? They might have a thing or two to say about the Ark and whose relic it is.
I don't remember my first R rated movie, but I do remember Poltergeist (another PG-13 precursor) scaring the beJesus out of me. I was terrified to see E.T. and kept my eyes shielded for the first 15 minutes or so out of fear that it would be Poltergeist -scary.
is that the one the roman soldiers poked Jesus with?
It is. Also occasionally called the Spear of Longinus. Supposedly Longinus was the actual centurion who did the poking.

Yes. Also a first-person shooter by the makers of Wolfenstein 3-D. And a weapon against Angels in Neon Genesis Evangelion.

Or the Lance of Longinus. Don't deny the dude his alliteration!
