Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a 1989 adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Harrison Ford, Sean Connery, Denholm Elliott, Julian Glover, Alison Doody, River Phoenix, and John Rhys-Davies. This film is the third released, though the twenty-fifth chronologically, in a series of film and TV productions about the adventures of the heroic fictional archaeologist Indiana Jones.
When Dr. Henry Jones Sr. (played by Connery) vanishes while pursuing a life-long search for the Holy Grail, Indiana must retrace his father's steps in the hopes of rescuing him – and the Grail – from the clutches of the Nazi military machine. The film was the highest grossing movie of 1989.
Reaction
This installment in the Indiana Jones series has more humor than the previous two films. The humor is mainly shown through the relationship between Indiana and his father. Marcus Brody is also a much less serious character than his previous appearance in Raiders of the Lost Ark, being described as a museum curator who "once got lost in his own museum". The lightheartedness of the movie especially contrasts to its predecessor Temple of Doom, which is usually cited as the "darkest" in the trilogy.[citation needed]
The Last Crusade is estimated to have grossed over $197 million in the United States and $474 million worldwide. These sales figures put the film second to Batman in the United States and first globally for 1989.[4] The film was also well received by critics, earning a 92% rating on Rotten Tomatoes[5]. The film won the Academy Award for Best Sound Effects Editing.
As of March 13, 2007, it was ranked as #119 on IMDb's list of the Top 250 Movies of All Time.[6]
The stunt where Indy jumps from a horse down onto a tank — performed by legendary stunt man and coordinator, Vic Armstrong — was voted one of the 10 best stunts of all time by Sky Movies viewers in the UK in 2002.

Raiders of the Lost Ark, also known as Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, is a 1981 adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by George Lucas and starring Harrison Ford. It is the first in the Indiana Jones film and television series, and the twenty-fourth in internal chronology. In the film, the Nazis are searching for the lost Ark of the Covenant to make their army invincible, as it did for the Israelites of the Old Testament, and it's up to archaeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones to find it first.
Lucas conceived the film while at the same time as writing Star Wars, due to to his interest in reviving 1930s cliffhanger serials. The film was a hit with audiences and critics alike, leading to two more films, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. There was also the The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles television series and a fourth film is in pre-production for release in 2008.
When released on June 12, the $20 million film was a huge success, easily the highest grossing film (earning $383 million worldwide) of 1981, and, at the time, one of the highest-grossing movies ever made. According to the 2005 edition of The World Almanac (from Variety data), the first two Star Wars films are the only pictures released prior to 1981 that have out-earned Raiders. It was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, in 1982 and won four (Best Sound, Best Film Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction-Set Decoration). It also won a Special Achievement Award for Sound Effects Editing, bringing the total Oscars to five. It won numerous other awards, including seven Saturn Awards

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (Paramount Pictures, 1982) is the second feature film based on the Star Trek science fiction television series. It was originally released to theatres as Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, but is often referred to as ST2:TWOK or TWOK. It is widely regarded by fans as the best film of the series, and has been described as enjoyable by both fans and non-fans of Star Trek.[1] This may be partly due to the tone and style of the film, which is firmly character-driven. The film starts a story arc trilogy spanning to Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.
"Star Trek II" grossed $78,912,963 in the U.S. and $97,000,000 worldwide. Although it made significantly less than "The Motion Picture," it was more profitable due to its lower $11,000,000 budget [1]. The film earned $14,347,221 in its opening weekend at the US box office, at the time the largest opening weekend gross in history.

E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is a 1982 science fiction film co-produced and directed by Steven Spielberg, written by Melissa Mathison and starring Henry Thomas, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore, Dee Wallace and Peter Coyote. It tells the story of Elliott (played by Thomas), a lonely boy who befriends a benign alien, dubbed E.T., who is stranded on Earth. Elliott, and his brother and sister, help the alien return home, while keeping it hidden from their mother and the government.
The concept for E.T. came from an imaginary friend Spielberg created after his parents' divorce. When work on Night Skies stalled, Spielberg met screenwriter Melissa Mathison, who he hired to pen the script for E.T.. The film was shot during the fall of 1981 in California on a budget of $10.5 million. To create convincing emotional performances from the young cast, the film was shot in roughly chronological order.
When released, the film became a box office hit, beating Star Wars to become the most financially successful film yet released. Critics acclaimed it as a timeless story of friendship, and it is considered one of the greatest films ever made.
I recognize The date 1/21/1976 as when I first landed on the planet Mars. Sort of my first port visit as I made my way out to the comet in the outer solar system. I recognize the day 1/23/1976 as the day I left the planet Mars. The 1982 movie “E.T.” premiered precisely 333 weeks after I left the planet Mars.

Dee Wallace Date of Birth: 14 December 1948

Dee Wallace-Stone (born Deanna Bowers on December 14, 1948, in Kansas City, Kansas)[1] is an U.S. motion picture and television actress. She is remembered for her roles in several popular films. These include the starring role as Elliot's divorced mother in the Steven Spielberg film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982), her widest seen role.
I recognize the date 1/22/1976 as my first full day on the surface of the planet Mars. The actor who portrays “Elliott,” who finds the “E.T.” creature in that movie, was born 4573 days after I was born. Phoebe Cates was 4573 days old when I spent that first full day on the planet Mars before I left for the Saturn moon Phoebe.
From 3/3/1959 to 9/9/1971 is: 4573 days

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Thomas
Henry Jackson Thomas, Jr. (born September 9, 1971) is an American actor and musician. He has appeared in more than 40 films, but is probably best known for his role as Elliott in the 1982 Steven Spielberg film E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and his part in the 1984 movie Cloak & Dagger.
I recognize the date 6/7/1976 as my first day on the Saturn moon Phoebe. I left on 6/9/1976 for my 7/2/1976 interception of the comet, somewhere above the ecliptic. The actor who portrays the brother of “Elliott” was 3459 days old on my second day on the Saturn moon Phoebe. The reason, I assume, for casting him as the brother of "Elliot" is probably in reference to the mythological figure Phoebe, whose brother was Apollo.
From 12/19/1966 to 6/8/1976 is: 3459 days
