Now that you mention it, I got all 4 Indy films on 4K Blu Ray and watched Raiders of the Last Ark last weekend.
Picture quality is great as is the sound. Film holds up well too but it has a lot of that old movie sillyness in some scenes, especially the action scenes which are almost like a stage play and some bits like the cabin scene are put together quite sloppily.
It's kind of strange how these days the Nazis are portrayed as this highly capable evil empire, while in those days they were comic book villains at best.
Overall this movie doesn't make sense in the slightest and every character makes decisions that make you go "why would you do that" but that makes it very fun.
Friend of mine hadn't seen it since he was a kid so he had a blast. I still find the ending a bit weak though but I guess Lucas had written himself into a corner?
The next one Temple of Doom is probably my favorite just because of how different it is.
