5p INDIANA JONES & THE LAST CRUSADE. Because of the darkness of Temple of Doom, Spielberg wanted to bring the series into the light for what was meant to be the final installment. George Lucas wanted to make a haunted house movie. Spielberg had recently reconciled with his own father. Thus a masterpiece was born.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade finds Indy having to rescue then work with his own estranged father, Henry Jones Sr (a never better Sean Connery). The Nazis are after the Holy Grail, the cup Christ used at the last supper, rumored to give eternal life to whoever drinks from it. And the Grail is Indy's Father's life's obsession.
We again go on a globe trotting adventure from Venice to Berlin to the middle East in a race against evil and time to prevent the Nazis from getting supernatural powers.
But at the heart of Last Crusade is a touching reconciliation story of a father and son who love each other but have to learn how to be together.
It's amazing to think that Spielberg and Lucas made these three movies within 8 years. Since Spielberg came on board partially because he wasn't allowed to direct a James Bond movie, Last Crusade finds Spielberg getting to direct both the original James Bond (Connery) AND getting to do a fun re-configuration of the James Bond classic From Russia with Love.
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.
Do you want to learn how to direct? Do you want to take your Dad to something he'll actually enjoy?
Grab your whip, put on your fedora. This is going to be a wild ride in a movie palace.
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.
