exc
Indiana Jones its excellent and now in DVD, it cant be better.
I recommend it to u cause i have it...

Finally, Indiana Jones without TV or VHS!
Finally, the Indian Jones Trilogy has made it to DVD. And it was worth the wait! With amazing picture quality, superb sound, and a few nice touch-ups thrown in throughout the series (one notable example being the snake/glass scene in "Raiders") this DVD set is definitely worth its meager price. All of the special features are contained on a fourth DVD with three extensive "Making of..." documentaries on each film. Additionally, a few short featurettes are included on various aspects of the technical crew, from stunts to sound. The documentaries are very interesting to watch for anyone who loves the films. One learns all sorts of interesting facts and trivia and gets to watch footage from the filming sessions. It's nice to see how the idea started small and developed into a gigantic success.

That being said, it's disappointing that there aren't more special features to be had in this set. I would have liked to have seen Director's commentaries on each film and deleted scenes. This set definitely does not have some of the extra features that other sets include, but the documentaries make up for this fact to a certain extent.

All in all, what's really worth the price of this set are the restored films. Having seen these movies only on VHS and TV myself, it was stunning to see them without any defects or tracking lines. And the sound blew me out of my seat. One can really gain an appreciation for the sound effects editing and the score with this release. At a price of just $15 a film (plus the extra DVD with the documentaries), this set is definitely worth the investment and should be in everyone's collection.

Still remains one of the best
At last the Indiana Jones trilogy arrives on DVD! Indy fans have been waiting for this moment for a long long time. The anticipation for this DVD release is unmatched except by perhaps 'Star Wars'. Rest assured that this complete 4-DVD set will feature all three films digitally re-mastered with crystal clear sound and picture. The fourth disc will contain a boatload of extras ... In addition, the DVD set comes in a unique box design... a keeper for any serious collector.
What makes Indiana Jones such a unique legacy is that he is an original character. He was dreamed up by several different men and women, including 'Star Wars' creator George Lucas (Lucas is the only writer credited for all three films). Indiana Jones has become an iconic figure in film. Who else do you know sports a felt hat and carries around a bullwhip? Just recently Indy was honored into the American Film Institute's (AFI) '100 Years... 100 Heroes & Villains' list at #2, ahead of other famous film heroes as James Bond, Rocky, and Han Solo. He exhibits all the qualities of a hero: courage, intelligence, strength... but at the same time he also has weaknesses, like his dreadful fear of snakes. Harrison Ford immortalizes his character as the most human of all screen heroes.

If I were asked to choose the best movie amongst the three, I wouldn't be able to provide an answer. I love them all and I think each of them are equally brilliant and entertaining. The Indiana Jones trilogy still remains some of my favorite movies of all time. Good adventure stories are certainly lacking these days. If I were to choose a favorite movie, however, I'd pick 'Temple of Doom' because it is the most frightening, surreal, action-packed, humorous, and happy all in one. You feel really good at the end when Indy brings all the enslaved Indian kids back to their home village, and you certainly feel petrified during the moment when the fanatic head of the cult pulls out a man's beating heart.

If you haven't seen all three movies, don't even bother wasting your money for a rental. You should just buy this DVD set and enjoy 'Raiders of the Lost Ark', 'Temple of Doom', and 'Last Crusade' over and over and over again. And then maybe again after that.

>>> 5 stars. Movies like these are made very rarely.
