We've had some Indy action in another thread, so I thought we might open it up a little. Seems a lot of us like those movies( and why not...doesn't Mal have moren' a few traits in common with the Jonesmiester?)

Okay, which movie is BEST?
For me, I can't decide(surprise) because I honestly like them all equally for totally different reasons.

Raiders has the best adventure.
Doom has the best mindless action.
Crusade has the best chemistry (Ford and Connery).

What do 'yall think?

i liked last crusade the best. raiders of the lost ark was good too. temple of doom was a little weaker, but still a good movie. they all had that great blend of comedy, action and story but i thought last crusade did that the best.

Raiders was a brilliant film with a great plot and wonderful characters A++

Doom was a roller coaster ride in a kiddie's park,
with no character development and very little plot C-

Crusade was better than Doom,
but still, VERY silly plot...very silly all together B

JMPO of course...

i'd have to go with last crusade. something about it is just...perfect lol. i love them all though, and i love my dvd box set! i watched temple of doom w/ a friend last night. the whole pulling heart out/lowering into pit of fiery lava stuff thing is just so damn creepy! that whole movie gives me the creeps, ee! i love it for that:) and i of course love raiders as well. indy pulling out his gun to shoot the guy with the swords is just so classic!

Last Crusade. Both for the chemistry and because it's very clear that Connery is having the time of his life filming that.

Raiders is a very close second, due to the deeper look at archaeology and "lost history" (an interest of mine). Also, the Raiders March is my favourite John Williams piece, even above and beyond anything in Star Wars.

Temple of Doom was okay, but really nothing special IMHO.

Raiders of the Lost Ark, definalty.

Doom is still great, and Last Crusade is wonderful (Lotta really good, quotable lines in that one). I think the main reason Crusade isn't on top is because Indy spends most of the movie in a tie. WTF? That bothers me big time for some reason. Other than that, its gold.

Temple o' Doom was a rush job. It was originally developed to be set, & filmed, in China. Then tanks rolled in Tiannanmen Square, & crushed that idea. Spielberg kept what was supposed to be the climactic scene of the second movie, but used it as the introduction. I find ToD so bad that I almost always stop it when Indy & wutzername crash through the window, & I go on to Last Crusade.

I think Raiders is the best story of the three, & of course it is the original, whereas the others are sequels. But I find Harrison Ford's acting better in Last Crusade.

As for Indy, in Raiders he admitted his game was somewhat "playground" ("I'm makin' it up as I go"). One of the best things about Last Crusade is that most of the time Indy seems more accomplished (than in Raiders), except when he's being upbraided by his father.

I'll have to watch them all again, just to be sure, but I'd have to say Raiders.

However, we should not be ingnoring the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Some of those were good, too.
