Crystal skull should have never been made.

Really wish they had gotten their act together in the 90's and made Indy 4 set during WWII.

Maybe they can explore that storyline one day when Ford is gone. I could see them moving to a younger actor down the road, but not "remaking" Raiders or Last Crusade.

Should have made Raiders and stopped there. That would have been perfect, IMO.

I could have gotten behind a Cold War adventure set in a similar time frame as Chrystal skull, so much potential there. KGB/Commies are as bad as Nazis. But Aliens? Wow. I was so excited about C.S and then ...... crap.

Also, Raiders wins for this alone. Top 10 movie moment of all time.

---

All because HF got sick and couldn't physically do the original fight scene.

And Indiana Jones is sort of a putz. He has his moments but these movies are more of a comedy than action movie.

---

please, please, don't social justice these films. thanks

---

Huh? What social justice comment did I make because that absolutely wasn't my point? Apologies if it came across that way somehow.

You forgot about Firewalker, King Soloman's Mines and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold, all better than Crystal Skull

Is Indy 5 going to be Shia Lebouf as the main character...I mean he did pick up the hat...jk

In my mind, Crystal Skull does not exist. I reject your reality and substitute my own.

TLC has some great action sequences of its own. And Sean Connery. The addition of Connery gave the character of Indiana Jones more depth than we had previously seen. The conversation between dad and son aboard the Nazi airship was fantastic, as was the little smile that Ford had when his dad bear hugged him after the big tank chase.

The opening sequence was fantastic with River Phoenix as a teen Indiana Jones, but I still remember the loud cheering when we see the grave robber put the hat on Phoenix's bowed head, and when he lifted his head, it was Ford ~30 years later getting beat up off the coast of Portugal.

---

I watched this recently and that first sequence transitioning into present day is still just so good.

I have a hard time making the call between Raiders and Last Crusade at the top, Last Crusade is so incredibly entertaining, but Raiders is just about the perfect movie as others have mentioned.

I got the collection of all 4 on iTunes for 30 bucks. My reasoning was that they charged me $10 each for the actual films and threw in Crystal Skull even though I didn't want it.

Also better than Crystal Skull

Hate me if you want, but temple of doom is a movie that dated horribly. Because of negative stereotypes about Indians, the movie was actually banned there on its original release, and it hasn't been totally forgotten.


It did have some of the better scenes of the entire franchise, but it was also laced with Kate Kapshaw screaming like (and acting like) a 12 year old half the time, eyeballs in soup and countless other gratuitous silly "scary" things that the movie didn't need,

There is a reason it is the least televised of the originals.

To this day still haven't seen crystal skulls and couldn't be happier that it can't ruin my enjoyment of Raiders and Last Crusade.

I've seen it, and it doesn't ruin my enjoyment of those other films in the slightest. Does it for some? That's too bad.

Last Crusade is my personal favorite, but Raiders is a slightly better movie. Both are fantastic

1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
...

...
...
3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
4. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (I don't hate it the way most do, but it falls short of the rest, for sure.)

Really the only argument is TLC vs raiders since the others are pretty self explanatory. I personally enjoy TLC the most.

My german shepherd was named Elsa.

Did she talk in her sleep?

I saw something interesting about the Skulls movie.

Developing Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Jeffrey Boam, who worked on Last Crusade, then came aboard to do further scriptwork, but alas Ford and especially Spielberg were still unenthused by the idea of Indiana Jones appearing side-by-side with aliens, and the release (and success) of Independence Day in 1996 was reason for everyone to pause. Moreover, Spielberg himself was working to mature as a filmmaker and wasn't crazy about making another alien movie.

"Then George came to me one day and said, 'You know you might be right about this alien thing. Maybe we shouldn't do aliens, there's too much of that stuff around.' I said, 'George I love you, that's the best news you've ever given me!' He said, 'Yeah they're not aliens, they're kind of extradimensional,' I said, 'What?!' He said, 'You ever hear of string theory, about different dimensions?' I said, 'Yeah', he said, 'Okay these are interdimensional beings. They're not extraterrestrials, they're interdimensional.' So I said, '(Exasperated) Fine, fine! And what are they gonna look like?' George said, 'They'll look like aliens, but we'll call them interdimensional.'"

Whether it worked or didn't that's up for debate, however, Skulls has made the most money out of all them.

It's funny. As a kid Temple of Doom was my favorite and it wasn't even close. I thought the dude with the horns on his head was just so badass. It made the movie for me.

---

ditto. I think having the kid in ToD was also a big plus for me watching as a kid myself. Same with RotJ being my fav SW.

I think the order the Indy movies came out in is fine for me.

I rewatched Skulls and its not great but enjoyable for a few hours. Weirdo Shia Leboof sucked for sure. I read he is not going to be in the next one which will be released in 2021.

It's been mentioned before in this thread but this is such a no brainer I'm not sure it even needs discussion.

It would be like asking to rate the following sex experience:

Sex with Daddario
Sex with Sara Jessica Parker
Sex with the Waffle House waitress
Sex with your dog

You have a gift for prose.

I feel like ToD is on tv all the time.

I would be completely lying if I said when I visited India and had my first meal there, I was disappointed that Snake Surprise and Chilled Monkey Brains were not served. Of course I was in southern India and not in the north like Indy at Pankot Palace.

Honestly ToD was my first exposure to Indians at around age 6 or 7 when we watched it together as a family on VHS. It did not make me form a negative stereotype view of people from India.
