Five month old bump.

Here are my rankings for the Indy movies:

  1. Raiders of the Lost Ark (5 out of 5) The quintessential adventure movie. Its masterful balance of action, drama, and heart make it a near-perfect film in my mind.

  2. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (4.5 out of 5) While arguably a rehash of the original film, Last Crusade boasts plenty of good humor and action, as well as the dynamic duo of Ford and Connery. The pair’s chemistry is a joy to watch on screen.

  3. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (4 out of 5). The darkest and most exhilarating of the Indy series. Perhaps too macabre and over-the-top for its own good, but it’s a fun ride.

  4. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (3 out of 5) The black sheep of the Indy series. While it’s often dragged down by weightless CGI spectacle and implausible plot points, the cast’s charm and the movie’s heart (mostly) redeems this middling installment.
