There was another? Lol

I really wanted to like crystal skull and it should have been an easily good to great movie had Lucas and Spielberg given a crap. I actually enjoyed it until they got to the jungle. After that it was straight downhill

For me it’s Raiders and it’s not close. Last Crusade is good but like other part 3s of that era Return of the Jedi, BTTF III even Godfather III it mirrors the first one

Indiana Jones would make a really good 8-10 episode tv show

Great casting all around.




I was in love with Karen Allen. She had me at Animal House, then did Raiders, and Starman.

She had spunk!

For me it's Raiders because Belloq and the Nazis were such strong villains that it was satisfying to see them meet their karma at the end. Plus that scene is SO cool from the moment they open the Ark and you see the lightening, hear the thunder, the clouds and the angels pour out, survey the scene then become God's wrath on all who see them.

The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles were pretty decent.

Raiders is arguably the greatest film of all time. I like Last Crusade but this isn’t even a question IMO.

I like Last Crusade more, but both are generational spectacles

Just a bit of trivia: The opening scene of LC was filmed at Double Arch at Arches National Park.

But I prefer Raiders as a film.

Plus Raiders has a pretty pointless plot that would of ended better if Indy hadn’t even gotten involved.


Marion Ravenwood would have been killed by the Nazis in Nepal. They would have the correct location of the well of souls. The Nazi navy would eventually return to their outpost (especially when it went radio silent) and take possession of the Ark.

The nazis didn’t know Marion had it or where she was. They followed Indy to Nepal

The answer is Raiders. It’s arguably on of the top five movies of all time.

Indy looking at two guys from the CIA (well it’s predecessor) and going, didn’t you guys go to Sunday school? I love that whole scene with the chalkboard
