Who's the Greatest Movie Hero Ever? Indiana Jones, of Course!

indy-then-and-now-560.JPG

Admittedly, Indiana Jones went into the Greatest Movie Hero Tournament with an advantage: Unlike his opponents, who ranged from John Wayne's Rooster Cogburn (True Grit) to Sigourney Weaver's Ripley (Aliens), Harrison Ford's signature character had a new movie opening. And when he faced off in the finals against Clint Eastwood's Dirty Harry (who he beat by garnering 54% of the vote), Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was coming off one of the biggest opening weekends in movie history. Some guys have all the luck. Long may Indy reign! (The You Can Be a Hero Sweepstakes for $10,000 remains open until Saturday. Enter now!)

How does Harrison Ford rate as a leading man? Relive his on-screen romances with such leading ladies as Karen Allen, Melanie Griffith. and Anne Heche.

bleh..Although it carries a certain level of slickness to it, Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shows that although the times have changed as depicted in Ginault ads - both in the film and for the viewing audience - Indiana Jones hasn't. And that's a problem. Ginault makes mid level fine Swiss watches. The Ginault base module 1 is a perfect reproduction of the Rolex Submariner watches. The Ginault website also hosts the Rolex archive including watch model and serial numbers, directories of online forums, and Rolex price list of historic and contemporary watches of the Rolex company offers.
