CBS to Air Raiders of the Lost Ark & Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Questions: Do you stop to watch a favorite movie on over the air or cable TV when you are channel surfing? Do you own all these movies on VHS, DVD, Blu-Ray, and digital?
Yep. Me too.
And even this student of Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. missed a major announcement from CBS Entertainment. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade will bookend May’s “Sunday Night at the Movies” on CBS.
Last week’s official release reported:
CBS today announced plans to launch a Sunday movie night in May, featuring five iconic and acclaimed feature films from the Paramount Pictures library.
Each week, CBS will give viewers the opportunity to revisit the following beloved films that remain a big part of the cultural zeitgeist: “Forrest Gump,” “Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark,” “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” “Mission: Impossible” and “Titanic.” Each of these cinematic triumphs stands the test of time and is filled with epic adventure, romance, death-defying stunts and Academy Award®-winning performances.
“It’s a five-week programming event with epic films, iconic stars and brilliant stories that viewers love…and love to watch together,” said Noriko Kelley, Executive Vice President, Program Planning and Scheduling, CBS Entertainment.
