O/T Your favourite Indiana Jones movie

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

So, which one is it?

My favourite has to be 'The Last Crusade'. Some great action and some great comedy scenes and lines. Sean Connery is on top form as Indiana's dad and the interaction between Harrison Ford and Connery is superb.
'Daaaad, don't call me Junior.'
'Why not? It's your name.'
"I like Indiana.'
'Shon, we called the dog Indiana...'

So, what's your favourite Indiana Jones movie and why?

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Last Crusade ... Indy-perfection.

Connery, Hitler, some snazzy traps and the Holy Grail. What more could you ask for?

 

[MattBackHome]

Temple without a doubt. 'Hilarious' elephant-squirting-water aside it's a perfect film.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

So no one rates the young Indiana series then?

Good to see that most of you are plumping for The Last Crusade.

 

[tinx]

Definitely Last Crusade although all three are classics that I can watch over and over again.

 

[CHAPPERS]

The Young Indiana Jones series is rubbish.

I'm gonna PLUMP for the Last Crusade too, I love the bit where he throws the dirt onto the 'invisible' walk way and then when he saves is dad with the cup of CHRIST.

Excellent stuff, must remember to SNORT the trilogy out next pay day.

Last Crusade is my favourite probably helped by the fact that I saw it at "The Empire" in Leicester Square on their THX sound system. Enhanced the film no end. Raiders was the worst of the 3 for me.

 

[alan partridge]

Temple of Doom was by far the worst if you ask me

Raiders and Last Crusade are ace

Yep, and Alison Doody (the blonde nazi doc) in jodphurs

 

[Seagullible]

Raiders - absolute classic. Crusade very close followed by a still very good Temple

 

[Easy 10]

Raiders is clearly the best. I LOVE that massive rolling ball. And the bit where the Arab does all the fancy sword moves in the market, and Indi just shoots him.

AND you see peoples FACES melting.

Theres a story about that scene. Appareantly Harrison Ford had the shits at the time. It was meant to be a big fight between Indy and the Arab but coz he was ill he couldnt manage it so he just shot him!!

 

[Jam The Man]

Raiders Of The Lost ArC?... Lost a curve somewhere have we?

mmm.. Karen Allen

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Raiders is definitely the best of 3 very good films.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Raiders. The only believable love interest out of the 3 films, so it sizzles a little more.

 

[Codner's Crackpipe]

1 - arc
2 - crusade
3 - doom

i can't believe that in this day and age there's still people that don't know this.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Raiders making a comeback...

But, whilst Raiders is a classic how can people vote against Connery, Hitler, Marcus Brady(or is it Grady?), a 700year old Knight, A sexy blonde, the tomb of Sir Richard, a highspeed chase on the water of venice, Sean Connery destroying a Mesheschmidt(sp?) with an umbrella and a flock of geese, a man ageing before our eyes, three tests of faith and so much more?

It's still the LAst Crusade all the way for me.

 

[Highfields Seagull]

Big spiders, grabbing a hat from underneath a descending wall, a big ball, a drinking competition, an imprint on a Nazi hand, a nasty frenchman, loads of snakes, Karen Allen, a man getting his head sliced apart by a propeller, an evil monkey, melting faces...

and much much more I can't be bothered to type about.

Raiders IS the best and anyone who says differently is WRONG.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Raiders for me. I went with my dad to see it in the Cinema in Streatham. As a little kid it was the best thing since Star Wars and made me want to be Harrison Ford ( well he was both Han Solo and Indy).

I always though Temple of Doom was the "return of the jedi" of the raiders trilogy.

 

[perth seagull]

The Last Crusade. One of the few times that the third in a trilogy was actually the best movie.
