I remember seeing “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” in the theater with my 11th grade girlfriend.  When it was released, we thought this third entry in the film series would be the last.  (Blockbusters tended to run in trilogies back then.)  And what a great ostensible send-off it was!  Indy was back, in fine form, doing what he did best — punching Nazis.  Casting Sean Connery as his father was a stroke of genius, and the chemistry between him and Harrison Ford was priceless.

A couple of astute film fans on Facebook pointed out that 1989 was a great year for movies.  This was the summer when Tim Burton’s “Batman” came out, along with “The Abyss,” “Lethal Weapon 2,” “Pet Sematary” and “Dead Poets Society.”  Seriously, look at this list.  It’s insane.
