11a RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK The action-adventure movie that revolutionize action adventure movies. Steven Spielberg's & George Lucas's 1981 Raiders of the Lost Ark is still for most movie makers and movie lovers the gold standard. The once and future masterpiece. Daring 1930's archaeologist Indiana Jones (Ford) is commisioned by the US government to go on a worldwide hunt for the biblical Ark of the Covenant which may have supernatural powers and which Hitler and the Nazis want bad. Thus kicks off a non-stop, sequence after sequence consummate entertainment as Indy re-unites with fiery and fierce old flame Marion Ravenwood (Karen Allen), races against rival Belloq to get the Ark, and comes face to face with powers we were not meant to awaken.

What a movie! You've got Spielberg in his sweet spot, composer John Williams delivering a helluva score, George Lucas and Lawrence Kasdan crafting a clockwork script that pays homage to the movie serials of the 1930's, and a cast that is perfect.

Movielovers will notice how much classic Hollywoo moviemaker Michael Curtiz (Casablanca, Captain Blood, the Adventures of Robin Hood), James Bond movies, and just a love of swashbuckling cinema influences this movie.

Bring your father, stay the whole day. This is still the best summer movie ever made.

Today, we screen the first three Indiana Jones movies. On 35mm prints. You can get tickets to any individual movie or get the INDY FATHER'S DAY All-Day pass (all movies, best deal). Go to next door's historic Grand Central Market for breakfast, lunch, dinner, drinks as we take in what an art form can do and inspire.

Secret Movie Club started 10 years ago in 2016 with a 35mm screening of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. We're going back to the movies to watch a trilogy that still stands as the platinum standard for action adventure with heart.
