The thing with classics is that very rarely are they timeless ones. I can understand why they were so brilliant for that era. Raiders fits the bill perfectly. That and the fact that I really don't like pointless action in movies
The new Casino Royale is a recent action movie which was perfectly done. If Indiana Jones was supposed to be a Bond competitor then it is a disgrace to the latter. I wouldn't trade any of those to the Bond classics
Hopefully the new Indiana Jones dispels all that
