That's a tough one but I think Crusade is slightly more entertaining and has better pacing so it's gonna be Crusade for me.
I knew this one was coming, it's a toughie. But I love the young Indy opening and getting to see Harrison and Sean play off each other as father and son is gold, so Crusade it is for me!

It's tough when you have such a great trilogy, but I've got to go with the first.
on 8/10/2009
Last Crusade for me. Mainly because of the great chemistry between Indy and his dad.
I'm going for The Last Crusade.
on 8/12/2009
Easily the two best in the series, I have to give points to Raiders for being first.
on 8/17/2009
Jesus. This one's hard. In the end, I had to go with Last Crusade, just because of the awesomeness of Connery and Ford combined.
on 8/21/2009
Ah, the eternal question....

The original is the more iconic and when someone says Indiana Jones, I'll bet the image that comes to mind is from Raiders, the superior film.

Two words: Sean. Connery.

"But who's going to save you, JUNIOR?" Connery, the boat chase, the absolute stunner of an ending. Last Crusade just barely gets my vote, even though it's missing the whiplash effect the first one has, and even though Karen Allen is really missed.

Both are absolute all-time classics, though for me, Last Crusade has a small advantage thanks to Sean Connery. Amazing performance from him as Indy's father.
on 11/11/2009
Gotta go with the original.
on 11/15/2009
Tough one, but I have to give the edge to Last Crusade. I think it's Ford's best performance as Indy, Sean Connery is fantastic as Henry Sr., and I like that both John Rhys-Davies and Denholm Elliott get a lot more to do (and Elliott is funny as hell here). Raiders is a classic, but Last Crusade perfects the formula.

I think Last Crusade is the best of them all.

"Raiders", without hesitation.

Both so good. Guess I have to go with the original, though it breaks my heart.

These are obviously two of the greatest movies ever made. In my mind, they are practically equal. An argument could easily (and, rightly) be made about Raiders being more "iconic", and having the virtue of coming first. But for me, it's Sean Connery who tips the scales. I love both movies; I love The Last Crusade just that little bit more.
Raiders is the perfect combination of humor and thrills. Last Crusade relies too much on silly comedy and is nowhere near as exciting.

i think most people think Raiders is superior and i can;'t argue with that. But there;s just something about Crusade that makes it my favourite of all time. That's right; number one on my list. Raiders is right there though.

Both are entertaining, but The Last Crusade takes longer to find its groove. It is not until Indy's dad enters the picture that it really becomes at all entertaining. Raiders of the Lost Ark is good fun throughout.
on 4/10/2010
Raiders is the never let up masterpiece here. It is an adrenaline rush from the word go.
on 4/11/2010
The Last Crusade is a more complete movie. Perfect Spielberg.
on 4/28/2010
"I suddenly remembered my Charlemagne..." Last Crusade (but only barely!) on the strength of Sean Connery and the built-upon John Williams score. The Motorcycle Scherzo gets me every time.
on 5/30/2010
Crusade has Connery, how can it not get my vote?
on 7/25/2010
I've always loved LAST CRUSADE above the other two.
on 9/12/2010
I have to say that I really enjoy the way Indy plays off his dad in Crusade. Raiders probably is more iconic, but Crusade is a bit more fun to watch in my book.
on 10/10/2010
I am astonished that this vote is so close. Raiders is an iconic film which takes the innocent joy of flim serials and mesh it with great acting and a studio budget. The pacing is perfect and the simplicity of the lone hero make the story more archetypical rather than the over clever and cluttered sequels. Seriously guys, don't overthink this one. Raiders by a mile.
Pfft cha. Has everyone forgotten their Charlemagne? Besides, I find vindictive ghosts flying out of a box just a pinch more absurd than a life giving cup. Oh, and I totally woulda boned that evil chick Nazi.

Last Crusade is the best Indiana Jones for me.
on 12/18/2010
I know I am a minority with these two (the best of the series). From a technical stand point Raiders of the Lost Ark is the better crafted film of the two, but Last Crusade has everything I want in an Indiana Jones film and more.
on 1/23/2011
The Last Crusade was the first Indiana Jones film i saw, and I love the chemistry between Ford and Connery
on 2/19/2011
To me Raiders of the Lost Ark is slightly overrated. I always enjoyed the Last Crusade more.
on 3/16/2011
Last Crusade is easily my favorite Indy-film. Love the banter between Connery and Ford.
on 7/15/2011
RAiDERS!!
nothing can beat the original. NOTHING!
Sean Connery makes the Last Crusade absolutely hilarious. And the chemistry between Ford and Connery is spectacular. So sorry to raiders, Sean Connery > anyone else you can throw at me.
on 7/16/2011
I think I was a little more moved by The Last Crusade. Indie comes across as all tough and invincible until his dad comes along, which i think is hilarious!

"Last Crusade" always seems to be the popular favorite, and it doesn't surprise me. It is a more consistently entertaining film than "Raiders." But it also a has a handful of flaws that bother me--namely, the scene where Indy pretends to be the looking for the tapestries (c'mon, man, just storm the castle!) and the "penitent man" scene, where even if you DO figure it out and kneel.... you know what I'm talking about. "Raiders" is my #1 on my Flickchart, but "Last Crusade" is easily in my Top 250. These are both awesome films, but "Raiders" is greatest adventure film ever made. (And those aren't "vengeful ghosts," guy who obviously wasn't paying attention to the entire plot.)

For me it's Raiders, some of the cheesier moments in Crusade turn me off a bit. Don't get me wrong though I love em both.
