: That's pretty cool that you all are into Indy at that age, who introduced you to the trilogy, the parents? I know they don't show them that much on TV, even if they did, most younger people pass it off as 'old stuff' anyways. They should replay them in the theatres so everyone could experience them again on the big screen. One of my best memories was seeing Star Wars on the old big screens(before they cropped them down alot smaller to accommodate more movies in the theatres. It was in 'Sensurround'(today it's called surround sound, I think). They should bring back the huge single theatre 'Saturday Matinee'- Indy would be great to see like this!

My brother's would always borrow the same trilogies from their friends: Indiana Jones and Star Wars. I'd always get really mad when they wanted to watch the movies because I thought that they were so dumb. Especially Star Wars because I was like 5 years old and I didn't want to watch a movie where there was mostly wide open space. Anyway like when I was 9, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was on a regular station and my sister made me sit down and watch it with her because she wanted me to stop saying bad stuff about the movies. I did and I was hooked on the movies. I couldn't believe that I never wanted to watch the movies before. And also when I was about 6, I made the connection that Indiana Jones and Han Solo were played by the same guy. Sure I could've just looked at the movie jackets but I watched the Star Wars movie and the the Indiana Jones ones and I saw a little resemblance.
