Movie Debate #60: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

[Reed Rothchild | 9,717]

I saw it in theatre at age 12, and you know what they say, whatever the world was like when you were 12 will be the gold standard for the rest of your life.  Well, this is my favourite action-adventure movie of all time - bar none.  I can't really judge it objectively...

[Bearcat-Doug | 5,107]

It's my favorite of the series and my favorite overall movie. I'd give it an 11 if I could. 10/10.

[JamesRobot | 5,880]

I'll go ahead and give it the 10.  2nd best Indy for me but I really cant knock it.  And the dynamic between Ford and Connery is fantastic.

Top of the franchise for me.  Sean Connery shows off his comedy chops.

This movie was basically the original Indiana Jones, but better. It manages to draw on all the strengths of the first movie without feeling like it's just rethreading it, and it adds memorable moments and characters, with Sean Connery's character of course standing out.

So many of the biggest Indiana Jones quotes to me ("It belongs in a museum", "no ticket", etc.) are from this movie, and honestly I still find it funny whenever I rewatch it.
The scene(s) where Indy and Henry try to escape in a plane as Henry accidentally shoots their own rudder to pieces, followed by the escape where the poor nazi pilot is sent zooming towards his death through a tunnel, is probably my favourite moment of the entire franchise, and just sums up the tone and style of the movies perfectly.

9/10 but honestly a 10/10 wouldn't have been off.

This was the first movie I saw in the theater.  My dad took me to the drive-in, so I would have been 4-5.  And I don't remember Julian Glover disintegrating so I must have fallen asleep 

I think we watched Aliens on tv not much later

The 1st Indy Film Streamlined And Nuanced To Perfecti0n.

One of the first few movies I ever saw in the theater, and despite how much I liked the others, especially Raiders, this one may top it, gave it a 10.  I've had a big thing for Bond movies over the years, the older ones at least, especially Connery, so having him and Ford in one movie and it an Indy movie, that just put it into like the 11/10 category.  Incredible writing, characters, set pieces, actual locations, the whole run of it was just stunning.  It's hard to pull a fault from this one even more than Raiders and that's saying something.

Probably a 10 for me as well.  One of my favorites as a kid, and I still love it today.
