I can't believe it's been 30 years! TOD has fallen a few notches for me, but I still hold it in high regard. Definitely better than LC and KOTCS. I still remember seeing it when I was 11 and literally being breathless at the end of it. I also remember staying in the theater and watching it again one of the many times I went back to see it that summer. Looking back at it now I see the flaws and how much more Shorty and Willie bother me (they always did, even as a kid). But what I can appreciate is that the character of Indy is still himself. He still has that angry edge that I found so intense in Raiders. He and the action were not neutered like they were in LC and KOTCS. That world still had teeth. If I could change one thing though, even above the annoying Willie and Shorty, I would want to change the happy ending and leave some ambiguity or something open ended that left you wondering and wanting more, like the warehouse scene in Raiders did. That warehouse ending added so much to the overall movie, making it feel like a real film, not just a fun afternoon flick. It would also add to the "serial" concept of the movie, leaving room for further adventures even if they were not explored in the sequel (I'm ignoring the terrible callback in KOTCS). There was something so cool about leaving the audience with the creepy Ark theme and the haunting visual of the warehouse. I wish TOD would have ended with something like that. Otherwise the movie is a blast from beginning to end.
