by Robert Wainfur One of my most vivid childhood memories was in 1977 when I was taken to the cinema by my brother to watch a movie that to be honest I wasn't that much aware of. After all, I was five years old at the time. Of course that movie was Star Wars. We queued up for two hours around the cinema willing the queue to move, sometimes it did but only because someone had left or someone had cut in! Eventually that queue did move and we made it inside. Those next couple of hours changed my life forever.

Yes the 67 year old star, who immortalized the character of Indiana Jones, & vice versa, is at it again.

This is a gem of a find. This is 50 minute documentary from the 80's all about ILM (Industrial Light And Magic). The British documentary called Horizon (that is still going today) goes into a lot of detail especially focusing on Return Of The Jedi and Indiana Jones. This is a must see for all ILM and Star Wars fans alike.  It was shown on BBC2 and called How To Film The Impossible. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5
