    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. 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. I think they're all awesome and I wouldn't mind a fifth one but they better get on it right now before Harrison Ford is far too old for it (which he arguably already is).

    Not really a fan, but I dig the films. Really disliked the fourth though.

    I actually prefer Last Crusade to the original and it's also my favourite of the series.

    Not the biggest fan, though. I enjoy the first 3, but Kingdom of the Crystal Skull just went way too far with that nuke the fridge scene. :2far:

    I like The Last Crusade a lot don't get me wrong, I just found it too much like Raiders with the Nazis again and a biblical relic again, and I also didn't care for the more comical approach and what it did with Sallah and Brody. That said, it's always a blast to watch.

    I was disappointed with Crystal Skull when I first saw it but I liked it much more with rewatches and viewing it alongside the original three. Not without some flaws but nonetheless an enjoyable comeback for the character.

    It was like Raiders but I thought it was done better. The Holy Grail was a much more interesting relic. The whole relationship between Indy and his father I liked. Also the hottest chick in the series, with the femme fatale Elsa Schneider played by Alison Doody. Better action sequences overall, particularly when they go in to that temple and there are all these traps. And the old knight and when the villain drinks from the wrong cup and disintegrates. Is more entertaining than Raiders, for me at least. Plus it has Sean Connery, so..

    1 and 3 are the best.

    I hear there are talks of a fourth movie, something to do with a crystal skull... but that'll never happen.

    I forgot about the Young Indy TV series as well, been years since I last watched any episodes. I mainly remember the NES game based on it which is fun but pretty tough.

    Raiders is a classic, Crusade is worthwhile, fucking hate Willie and Short Round so Doom isn't one I really care for.

    Don't mind Doom. I like the darker tone and setting. Also Willie is like a classic ditzy blonde.

    Honestly, for me Crusade and Skull are pretty much jointed for 3rd and 4th place. I like both but like the first two much better.

    KOTCS DP returning for the fifth film?

    Perhaps a fifth movie is already in the early pre-production stages? Could be a false report but it's certainly attention-grabbing.
