Indiana Jones
Any fans of this series here? It's one of my all-time favorite series and I love all the films very much in their own way, even the much-maligned fourth chapter. Disney recently bought the rights to more films, I'm excited. My ranking for the series is probably quite untraditional and controversial, but it goes:
Temple Of Doom Raiders Of The Lost Ark Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull The Last Crusade I think in a lot of ways Raiders is truly the best one, though I find Temple Of Doom to be the most entertaining. I actually go back and forth on Last Crusade and Crystal Skull. I like The Last Crusade but it tends to be my least favorite due to being so deriative of the original, though it's still a tremendous film. |

one of my all time favorite film franchises. "Raiders" is my favorite, but I love "Temple Of Doom".
"Last Crusade" is probably my least favorite, and , yes I enjoyed " Crystal Skulls". |

Love this series. Can watch them over & over again & again.
Raiders my favorite!:scared to death: Love them all but Last Crusade would be my fourth choice. But I still think that it is great especially with Sean Connery as Dad. |

Quote:
Temple delivered on the exotic, but that wore off. Thought it was formulaic and a bit too much of a caricature of Raiders. I found the ending of Temple disappointing. I liked Crusade a bit better than the other 2 sequels. I thought it was a bit more thoughtful and original. The scene of Indy backing into Hitler is all-time film classic. Monkey Skull was a tad bit forgettable to me. The atom bomb scene was memorable, the rest not so much. |

One of my favorite part about the Indiana Jones movies are the obstacles he faces. I remember watching Crystal Skull around the same time Iron Man (which had its share of great moments don't get me wrong) came out and noticing such a difference between the small amount of adversity Iron Man had to face compared to Indie. Stark had a tough time in the beginning, leveled everything, and then had an anti-climatic "boss fight". The antagonists in the Jones films are always on his tail and there's really no breathing room.

On a related note, what's everyone's favorite action scene in the series? The mine cart chase in Temple Of Doom is mine by a big margin. Still an incredible scene and one I always look forward to every time I watch the film.

One of my favourite trilogies ever. Next to Jaws, Raiders was my most memorable childhood cinema experience.

One of my most cherished series. Can watch all 4 movies umpteen times and never get bored.
Rank: 1) Raiders 2) Last Crusade 3) Temple of Doom 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.
