I've noticed your difficulties with recognizing the important and great films of the 80s before

Most of all: it was new, it was fresh at that time. There wasn't such a film since the old cliffhanger shows from the 30s. The mere idea of making a lovable hero stumble from one exotic action sequence to the next doesn't warrant a great film yet, but if you have the talent to make the acting, locations, effects and even the dialogs so much fun, convincing and effective that two hours pass like 10 minutes, you get a classic and that's exactly what happened here.
I don't even have to go for the nostalgia effect all that much, I didn't get to see the film before the early 90s. Okay wait, even that's already 20 years ago
The Mummy is a fun film too, but it simply wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Mister Jones.

You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger, darling.

This one might get some discussion going... we can hope. So I just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Obviously I was always going to miss out on the nostalgia factor. But even so.

Probably the difference between being a great example of the genre and pioneering it. *NM*

I love the Mummy, but one reason why you shouldn't compare the two movies

Better writing? Better lead actor? *NM*

The latter is debatable, actually. As for the former: yeah, right. *NM*

It's just an illustration of how things can be more than the sum of their parts.
