Staff from your Monroe County Public Library recommend some of their favorites from the collection.
What: “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” (1984)
Why: Forty years later, this first sequel to the legendary “Raiders of the Lost Ark” has been reappraised by viewers given the controversial sequels that have come since. The very reason the PG-13 rating was invented, it’s the darkest and most violent entry in the series. But don’t let that scare you away. You’ve got the charmingly funny Ke Huy Quan (now experiencing a resurgence himself) as Short Round keeping Indy in check. Plus, the minecart chase is one of the most thrilling setpieces in the franchise. We completely understand, however, the necessity to mute your screen whenever Willie goes into her signature shriek.
Where: This movie is available as a DVD from the Monroe County Public Library system.
