After the Thin Man 1936
I'm a huge fan of the original movie, I've even read the original Dashiell Hammett novel. But I've never watched any of the movie sequels.

I didn't love Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, so I was just hoping this would be better than that. And it is. Indy is back. Mangold crafts a fun adventure story. A lot of the action is very reminiscent of previous entries in the series.…
