: There are corny elements to Raiders (the face melting scene, the characterizations of the villains) but they are outweighed by the sheer relentless pace and TRUCK CHASE SCENE and crate warehouse scene. This is one of the most satisfying movies ever.

: But there are some corny elements.

From a SF/X POV, I concede the face melting. But what's so bad about the villains? Belloq had some great lines, and I love Toht's scene where he's in Marian's bar. But where's the corn?

BTW, I'm not heedlessly defending anything Indy, I'm just curious. However, I think some much cornier scenes can be found in TOD -- "Wake up, Dr. Jones!" for one, and the whole bit about the mararajah (sp?) knowing about the left tunnel... but like you said, outweighed by the rest.
