27. The Visual Comedy
All three of the Indy films have good lines in abundance – “It’s not the years, honey, it’s the mileage”; “I should have mailed it to The Marx Brothers”; “Bad dates” – but the franchise showed Spielberg to be equally adept at comedy involving no words whatsoever. The best known is, of course, the shooting of the swordsman after his sword twirling, but we think the greatest might be the moment that Toht advances on Marion unfolding what looks like some kind of torture device…and turns out to be a coat hanger.
