In a search to see if there are ny other rank threads I’ve missed, I decided this needs a good bump.

Raiders of the Lost Ark
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Sometimes TOD comes before LC, but generally, I like LC more.

3. Temple of Doom

4. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

Anyone who ranks any other way is just wrong, wrong, wrong.

I appear to be right, at least by DominicCobb’s standards.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Temple of Doom and Last Crusade are tied for second. As for the Crystal Skull, I can honestly say that I barely remember any of it! I saw it in theatres, and revisited two years ago after purchasing the blu ray. It was tough to sit through but it didn’t make me throw up or anything. I can see why it gets the Star Wars prequel comparisons though.

Raiders
Crusade
Temple
Kingdom

It’s funny, when I first watched these movies as a little kid, the list was probably the exact reverse of this (except for Kingdom which didn’t exist yet). If Willie wasn’t as annoying, Temple would surpass Crusade.

Holy carp, this is almost eight years old now. If you can handle SD in this day and age, it holds up quite well.

I was never too bothered by her. I always thought she was kind of funny, but then again some of that could be nostalgia goggles.

I didn’t see Temple of Doom until much later than the other two because my parents hated it and I took them at their word for a long time, so I may have nostalgia goggles with a different prescription to some extent. I tend to watch it when it happens to be on TV, but that disc in my box set gets very little action apart from when I decide to run the whole series, which is very rare. It just doesn’t seem to have the same heart as Raiders or Crusade. I do think Willie is truly awful, but I could probably forgive that if the tone was different.

Oh no, http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/disney-announces-fifth-indiana-jones-875794

I know it isn’t ranking related, but this is the best place for this. I kind of hope that this is a lying article! Who knows though, maybe it will be better if George isn’t as prominent as in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Well, guess I should prepare a space towards the bottom of my list.

Those would have to be nostalgia…I don’t know, what’s something that is 1,000 times larger than goggles?

I never thought Willie was unbearably annoying, and I’ve never understood other peoples hatred for her. The purpose of the character was A) love interest, and B) annoying tag-along that Indy doesn’t want there.
