: : Hello,
: : By now I am sure you have heard that Raiders Of The Lost Ark
: : has undergone a name change to that of Indiana Jones and The Raiders of The Lost Ark.. I am curiuos as to hear your opinions in this matter. I personally am OK with it.
: I know I'm not Michaelson but I had to throw my 2 cents worth in.
: I think it's a shame to re-name the film. It's not called Rett Butler and Gone with the Wind,
: or Rick and Casablanca...WHO thought this stupid idea up? It's messing with the classic and an insult to fans.
: Peeved,

They renamed it to freshen up the look of the video cover.
It bothers me, too. I suppose I wouldn't mind if they titled it:
INDIANA JONES in: Raiders of the Lost Ark. But, of
course, they shouldn't have changed it at all. You can't mess
with a classic.
