Hell, I’m not even sure I’ve even SEEN all of Raiders — most of my memories of it seem to overlap with the plot of the Indiana Jones Stunt Show at Disney World — but, still, they’re all treasured memories.

I don’t really remember Gulf War I too. I think that’s generally what happens when wars have sequels, though — the original gets forgotten. Look at World War I: nobody has any real idea what happened. The textbooks are literally like “Everyone just got mad at each other and then fought.”

Crazy.

I had a similarish experience the other day. I decided to save myself $10 and, in lieu of seeing the universally-eh Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I rented Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade from Netflix.

It turns out that, even though I had rented Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark no more than two years ago, I distinctly recall several Last Crusades scenes actually being in Raiders. I thought that that whole tomb-under-the-library and almost-getting-crushed-by-a-tank parts were in Raiders. I was about 90% certain of this. I was, of course, completely wrong.

Then again, these memories stem from some vague late-80s, early-90s era that, at best, is hazy. Case in point is that I remember seeing Batman in a movie theater but I remember nothing about the Gulf War.

And also, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a much better memory of a movie than an actual movie.
