Rank:
1) Raiders

4) Crystal Skull
TBH, I have forgotten most bits of Crystal Skull, except that fantastic CGI-filled ending. As for chase sequences, three immediately come to mind:
1) Indy on a horse taking on ze Germans and their tanks to rescue Dad Connery in Last Crusade,
2) Young Indy being chased over a moving train (with bogies filled with circus shows, one had a snakes pit) in Last Crusade.
3) Indy and Dad Connery chased by Germans in motorcycles, again in Last Crusade.
Not so much as a chase sequence, but the one in Raiders where they are running around the streets of Cairo with Karen Allen loaded into a tall basket, culminating with the vegetable market scene.
Another good one is at the beginning of Raiders - Indy, booby traps, huge chasing boulder, natives and Belloq.

Those are all great moments and I'd also add the bar shoot-out, truck chase and Ark opening in Raiders, the opening of TOD and the bridge showdown in TOD.
It's one of my favorite series to marathon in one day. Though I usually like to watch them chronologically because even with TOD being a prequel, I feel it works better watched after Raiders because of it's incredible pace.
