	Romancing the Stone is way out of "Raiders..." league!  This
    movie is *good*.  This is what Raiders could have been if it spent
    more time on story & less on special effects.  I give it a 12 on
    a 12 scale.  (I always use twelve-scales).
	Buy the whey, the title comes from a term used by jewellers.
    when they take a rough stone & cut it & polish it, etc., they are
    said to be "romancing" the stone, according to Danny DeVito on
    Carson.  Of course, the movie is not about that, but it sounds
    nice.
	This is a movie that I would buy on laserdisc, and there aren't
    many I'd do that for.
