Which Indiana Jones film is best?

Which of the original Trilogy is best?

Hmm?

I like The Last Crusade, myself srug

Very close between the 1st and 3rd.

Bit controversial, this ... but I think I'm going with number 3. I absolutely *love* "Raiders" (and I think that "Doom" is a very entertaining film as well), but I think it's Connery's presence (and the whole 'father-son' storyline) in "Crusade" that swings the vote for me. That's why I'm so upset that Connery couldn't even be bothered to film a 10 minute cameo for the fourth film, ending his career in style ("The League", anyone?) 😠 ...

Raiders of the Lost Ark But i like them all respectivily

Anyone reason why Doom has'nt got a vote to dark for some ?

Both 1 and 3 are much better than Doom, not to say Doom isn't a good film, but it's alot weaker than the others.

i prefer Temple of Doom actually.....

Temple of Doom certainly isn't bad, but Indy's only in top form when fighting Nazis 313

I first saw Temple of Doom as kid. Felt in love with it. Then eventually I saw Raiders of the Lost Ark. Much better film IMO. So for me ROTLA is the better film...but TOD is pure action and fun.

yeah.thats exactly the same way I feel as well.

Raiders of course...no contest

though connery served for some nice comic relief in Crusade, i like it better when was just indy. Raiders also has the best pacing for me, just enough humor, just enough action, and just enough male romodel. Crusade had a brilliant story arc for a sequal, but nothing beats seeing nazi's feel the wrath of god tongue

last crusade. the whole 'cup of christ' thing was cool.

Raiders. I kinda thought that "Crusade" was just a rehash of Raiders. I love all 3 right enough but Raiders just has all the cool, iconic moments. The ball, the snake in the plane, the swordsman "fight", the melting faces. Absolutely fantastic.

Last Crusade.

second is Raiders.

Temple of Doom's okay.

Last Crusade was more enjoyable, but Raiders is the better movie.

I liked Crusade more than Temple but Raiders gets my vote.

You can't beat the scene where the Sword wielding Arab challenges Indy to fight and Indy just shoots him. 😆

Fun fact: They were planning a huge swordfight between the Arab and Indy, but Harrison Ford got dysentery so he suggested that he just shoot him 313

I knew that actually, just waiting for someone to post it. 131

I still think Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade for a seuqal is still very good.

I am with the minority here, I like Temple of Doom the best (then Raiders, followed closely by TLC). Films number 1 and 3 are just to smiliar, Indy going through the desrt with either an annoying chick or his annoying dad (who gives the movie a nice twist, but he can still be annoying). Movie 2 is in a dark, scary temple, it is far darker than the other 2 films, and Shortie is one of my favorite characters (I hate little kids, and in films they are usually very annoying but he was awesome! 😎 ). And there's less Indy talking with other boring people about artifacts and more or him just seeing bad stuff happening and fighting, plus the cart scene is awesome and it's the only one where we don't see him teaching his class, right (which is a boring part).

my favourite indiana jones movie would have to be "indiana jones and the last crusade"
