Raiders gets my vote.

The Last Crusade shines because of the interaction between Indy and his dad. I don't think the story was quite as good, but the addition of Sean Connery more than made up for it. The only redeeming part of ToD was Short Round. It just wasn't nearly as "fun" as the other two.

I'm really looking forward to the new one.

Raiders of the Lost Ark is definitely the best of the three. I find myself watching Lost Crusade more often though. Any movie where Sean Connery utters the phrase, "The quest for the grail is not archaeology, it's a race against evil. If it is captured by the Nazis, the armies of darkness will march all over the face of the Earth..." God, just thinking about it makes my nipples hard.

They're all awesome.

Doom/Raiders are up here
TLC is down here (cheeziness - too supernaturalish) but it's still a classic.

great lines that only Harrison could pull off

- You know how to fly right?
- No... do you?


- What's that?
- The Ark of the Covenant
- Are you sure?
- Pretty sure

Whiskey..?

You want to talk to God? Let's go see him together, I've got nothing better to do.

I liked Last Crusade best, but Raiders was the better movie. I grew up with Last Crusade and although I was a bit too young to really "get" the dialogue, watching Sean Connery blow up his own plane's tail and then say "Son, I'm sorry...they got us" translates pretty well no matter what

Temple of doom wasn't bad at all, I don't understand the fading of it here. It wasn't as good as the others, but it was still eminently watchable.

"Dad!"
"What?"
"Dad!!"
"What?!"
"DAD!!!"
"WHAT?!?!"

Same here... and Connery > All.

But then again, I think that Raiders of the Lost Ark has one of the THE funniest scenes (that wasn't exactly supposed be funny) in all of movie history.

Whatever movie of the trilogy has this scene:

There's a huge Indian/Middle Eastern man with a turban standing in Indy's way. He's just standing there wielding a huge sword for showmanship for like 10 seconds and looks all badass. Indy eventually just pulls out a gun and shoots him. lol

I don't remember what movie that's in, but that automatically makes it the best in the series.

(only half serious...)

EDIT: lmao was just posted above me, 1 minute ago. Raiders, then.

Which movie had the scene where this guy does some fancy sword-swinging kung-fu style then Indiana Jones just shoots him dead?

You're joking, right? I mean, if I weren't so lazy, I'd get a screen capture of how this question was asked and answered IMMEDIATELY prior to you posting, not to mention being addressed elsewhere in the thread...

look up 1 and 2 posts... then look up higher.

They're all great movies but in order:

1/3/2

CAN NOT WAIT until May 22nd, but Shia? Puke.
He's no River Phoenix (whom by the way, if you watch the beginning to Crusade, nailed Harrison Ford's portrayal of Indiana Jones to the letter. Ever body movement was pure Indiana.

ToD is a little too depressing. I just associate that movie with eating bugs and shit, and getting your heart ripped out.

As opposed to aging 1000 years in 10 seconds or having your face melt off?

"He chose...poorly."
"Marion! Keep your eyes shut!"

All 3 movies are great, but Raiders is simply one of the best movies ever filmed.

Raiders. One of the greatest movie scenes ever.
