: What I meant was why don't they just clean the old prints but really don't mess with the effects and just leave those alone.Why don't they just restore them like Star Wars and clen them.Are they going to do that when they are out in October or what.

Hi:
Since `Raiders' is on the AFI list of important American films, be assured there is a clean, pristine print of it somewhere...it's not like 25 years from now it will be lost forever. As for a theatrical re-release, who knows. It happened with `The Wizard of Oz.'
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe one of the mandates of the AFI is to ensure certain films are never lost, and in addition to `Raiders' I think `Star Wars,' `American Grafitti' and `ET' are in their vaults.

Cheers,
Sean
