Just so Vaderisnothayden isn't on his own here, I also think that Crusade is the best. I know I've been through this before and recently, so I'll try not to repeat what I've said. I don't think Raiders is boring. I enjoy Raiders. I think it's a great film. I can certainly see why Crusade is seen as a knockoff of Raiders because, in a way, it is. Nazis want Judeo-Christian artifact, Indy and Sallah, go and get it! Yes, it's a knockoff. I'll be the first to admit that, and it certainly loses originality points because of it. And, yes, it goes over the top at times. The River Phoenix sequence is a bit contrived with Indy receiving all his trademarks in one adventure. But I can certainly understand why Vaderisnothayden feels that Crusade took what Raiders did and made it more frenetic, more humorous, and a lot more of everything. That doesn't take away from Raiders, in my opinion. After all, Raiders has the originality that Crusade lacks. And it also has a more sophisticated feel in places. But I can't help but love the interactions between Indy and Henry. The chemistry is great, and none of the other movies have that. It's not as complex or polished as Raiders, but it's quite a lot of fun.

Oh, and I love Short Round.

Sorry this has been verbal diarrhea, but I had to get my words in here.
