‘Raiders of the Lost Archives’ Compares Raiders With Old Adventure Films



From slashfilm, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas famously created the first Indiana Jones film, Raiders of the Lost Ark, as a loving homage to the adventure films and serials that they loved in their youth. Elements of those movies are everywhere in Raiders, even as the Spielberg film is defined by a specific post-Jaws blockbuster sensibility.

Now there is a great video called Raiders of the Lost Archives, which culls footage from 30 films made between 1919 and 1973 (indlucing several big Charlton Heston films) and presents that footage side-by-side with the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
