    Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.jpg

    Of all the Adventurers the world has know, Indiana Jones is possibly the most known and Iconic of them all.

    So what's your favorite movie in the Trilogy? (I didn't particularly Like the Chrystal skull so I don't really associate it with the first three.) The trilogy includes: Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade.

    Last Crusade was best, hands down. Oh, as far as I'm concerned the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull never happened.

    Well, do to my age, I'll have to go with the first one, Raiders. The opening scene is iconic and epic! The lady and kid in Temple of Doom got really annoying. Crusade was pretty good though. First ones, as we all know, usually tend to be the best onesimo

    I probably have to go with Temple of Doom just because of the glowing potatoes.

    I think my favorite would be the temple of doom as well, but the last crusade is a very close second. I love that little Asian kid in number two!

    Last Crusade wins easily for me, although i did like Raiders, wasnt massively fussed on Temple of doom though. And Crystal Skull doesnt even deserve mentioning in the discussion!!

    I am going to agree with Ty here and say that Raiders was epic in so many ways. The iconic hat, the whip, and a little of the Han Solo attitude thrown in for good measure. Besides, religious mythology is very interesting to me and I enjoyed the storyline.

    However, it was a tough choice. Sean Connery was boss as his father in Crusade That movie had some truly terrific scenes between him and Harrison Ford.

    Raiders but I am in the minority about the Crystal Skull here. It gets a fourth place finish but I am very much of the opinion that it was an entertaining ride. Steven pulled an A.I. ending with the Crystal Skull and I'm also strangely reminded of Harrison Ford in Blade Runner, again with the slightly off kilter ending but I enjoyed the most of it.

    Interestingly, RT critics score is 77% but the user score is 69%, a rare reversal where normally critics score is usually the worse.

    Me thinks, that everyone was letting their childhood nostalgia color their appreciation of the movie...

    I'v got to agree with Eviltrain on this one, though my preference has got to be The last crusade then Raiders, Crystal skull only just falls short of temple of doom. Obviously it will never surpass the trilogy but as a standalone movie it's not bad.

    Sean Connary is my favorite actor so I'll have to go with the last crusade
