In what order do you rate the Indiana Jones Movies

[Shadow Master]

And Indy 5 has just been confirmed. Let's hope this year production begins. Would be awesome by next Summer to have it out.

 

[Raiders March]

Awesome!!!

 

[Shadow Master]

Would be awesome if next year it'd come out. A new Indy and Star Wars movie in the same Summer? I'm down.

 

[TURINS~BANE]

Looks like it's a reality now, hope Harrison looks after himself and everyone works on making this one awesome must be better then skull. 74 next.

What'll be challenging is coming up with a good final quest for Indy for what we're to believe was his final adventure.

Spot on shadow! I always would have liked to see fate of atlantis pc game made into a movie, but there were nazis in that so probably not now.
Something biblical should work. It did for raiders and lc

 

[Shadow Master]

I'd kinda rather prefer nothing biblical for the next film, something different. IMO Last Crusade being too much like the first movie was one of it's flaws.

 

[Shadow Master]

I may have mentioned it before, but for the final relic Indy to track down I think the Pazuzu statue could be very cool, something dark and eerie.

Pazuzu is rooted in Assyrian/Babylonian mythology, which I don't think has been covered in the series. Could be something very cool and different, and a creepy artifact like that would be fitting for Indy's final adventure.

 

[Raiders March]

How come it's creepy? Don't know much about it

 

[Shadow Master]

Just the way it looks I suppose with that evil grin on it's face.

It's the villain in The Exorcist movies.

 

[Shadow Master]

And funny enough, Exorcist: The Beginning has the feel of being like an Indy movie at times.

I think there was a post in here or another ranking thread that also ranked in the various Indy comics and novels in with the films. That'd be a Hell of an undertaking to do and the novels and comics must be of wildly varying quality.

1 - The Last Crusade - Better characters, in my opinion, bring this one to the top. Connery is a given, River Phoenix was an excellent young Indy, Sallah and Marcus get more screen time and are great, and the villains are ALMOST as good as the first one.
2 - Raiders of the Lost Ark - Villains almost bring this to the top. If I could rate them equally I probably would...
3 - Temple of Doom - Not a disaster, but not nearly as good as the others.
4 - Crystal Skull - Some good moments, but overall pretty terrible. Aliens was not a direction Indy films should have gone to. I don't care if it was the '50s - that's no excuse!

This is my order as well.

 

[TURINS~BANE]

Hope they start work on the next film soon he's 74 next.

 

[Shadow Master]

Be nice if it'd finally enter production this year.

 

[Egrass21]

This is my list except I don't acknowledge any movie after crusade.

 

[Shadow Master]

Slightly off-topic but R.I.P. to Douglas Slocombe, the director of photography on the first three movies. Passed away earlier sadly. At 103 years old he had a long and fulfilled life, and captured some of the most striking imagery ever seen on film with his work on the original three Indy films.

 

[Shadow Master]

Very excited to hear the official Indy 5 announcement and release date. 2019 will be here before we know it. I just hope the movie will be a great finale and capper for the series.

I'd rate it like this: RotLA, LC > ToD >>>> ToCS.
While LC is the best for re-watching or having some fun with your families, the first one is classic in every possible way. Although the "fun" elements are quite lacking if compared to the rest IMO. I still re-watching these movies on Blu-Ray in yearly basis.
For ToCS... I love what South Park referred to it in one of their episode though.
