I think this was the first movie I had on videotape and I watched it over and over again. Roger Ebert gave it three stars, calling it a "high spirited chase picture," with the same spirit and sense of adventure as Raiders of the Lost Ark. (Read the entire review here.) If you've never seen Romancing the Stone, or if it's been 34 years, check it out again.

Tuesday afternoon update: Guess what's happening at 11.45 p.m. tonight? Turner Classic Movies is showing Romancing The Stone, part of a Prime Time tribute to Michael Douglas. My DVR is set.
