Romancing The Stone (1984)
Robert Zemeckis' guileless adventure is one of the few Indy-inspired films to actually nail the same playful, but not silly, mood. There's no attempt to hide the fact that Michael Douglas' Jack T. Colton is directly inspired by Indy, with even the characters introductory shot very similar to that in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Exotic locales, spunky female lead, a McGuffin - it's got the lot.
