The Librarian: Quest for the Spear, Return to King Solomon's Mines, Curse of the Judas Chalice

The first three Librarian movies!

Easily described as a low budget but funnier Indiana Jones, these campy adventure films all share a comedic slant, dated special effects, kinda bad action sequences but have decent plots, and star the charismatic Noah Wyle as protagonist Flynn Carsen.

Flynn is a "perpetual student" who is really smart but doesn't do so well with people is finally "kicked out" of college and is forced to look for work. A letter for a job in the Metropolitan Public Library sounds like a good fit for him except this isn't any ordinary library... no, this one stores and protects magical artifacts in its basement complete with campy old special effects to go with them. He quickly learns that part of his job is retrieving other artifacts out in the world before "bad guys" can get them. 

While I really liked these flicks I think the easiest way to see if you like it is if you enjoy the first one: Quest for the Spear, because the other two are in the exact same tone and hilariously, seemingly in the exact same budget effects wise. They do each continue to grow Flynn's character and are not "the same movie three times" which I do appreciate. Thumbs up from me!
