This is like asking you to choose whos your favourite out of your own children! SW wins by a whisker - but would have won by a bigger margin if I'd been asked pre-prequels
This website is absolute evil!
Star Wars all the way.

oh noes! i didn't think this would happen. SW wins by a hair..

Star Wars has light sabers, Indiana Jones has a whip. Star Wars has an exploding Death Star, Indiana Jones has the Ark of the Covenant melting Nazi face. Star Wars is more original, Indiana Jones has the more vivid ending. Who knows? I go with.......Star Wars WIIIINNNNNNNSSSSS

This is like choosing between your children.

As much as I love SW, I've always loved Indy more. And Speilberg's a better director than Lucas. CRYSTAL SKULL broke my heart, but it still can't tarnish the memory of RAIDERS.

Wow, bunch of complainers here. This is easy: Raiders kicks A New Hope's @$$ any day of the week and twice on Sundays.

The less Lucas is involved, the better the film. At least as far as screenwriting is concerned. Raiders of the Lost Ark is as close as I can come to complimenting Lucas' handiwork. Feel Raiders of the Lost Ark was more a win for Spielberg and Kaufman than for Spielberg. More them making the most of the situation. Rather admirable on their part, really. Despite Lucas' involvement, they made an enjoyable enough ride out of it. Enjoyable, but not groundbreaking. Still, that is to be applauded given the circumstances. Star Wars shows Lucas should have as little involvement as possible in the screenwriting.

wow thats a tough one.... star wars or Raiders? thats like asking me to choose which child live and which dies, ofcourse the analogy is moot i have no children but still a hard decision

"Raiders" is a stronger film, but I have more love for "Star Wars." When I ask myself which I would replace first if I had to rebuild my library, "Raiders" waits until I can watch Luke Skywalker blow up the Death Star again.

These are the two Big Movie Experiences of my childhood. What it comes down to, I guess, is which one provides the most tingles of wonder and awe over twenty years after the first viewing. Now that I think about it, Star Wars has a more tingle-inducing opening (the scroll w/John Williams score) while Raiders has a more tingle-inducing ending (the warehouse, w/John Williams score). What really matters is what happens in-between the opening and ending, though, and that's where Raiders truly outshines Star Wars. While Star Wars is fun, Raiders leaves me euphoric. Raiders is one of the few movies I consider to be an essential part of my early development as a movie watcher, and just about every scene holds up today. Star Wars hasn't aged as well, nor does it have the same level of influence. If movie watching was a religion, Raiders would be one of my Holy Scriptures.

Star Wars, hands down. At least in my opinion. I love Star Wars more than I love Indy. Plus, I think it has more story. It's a whole world created out of nowhere against Indy beating Nazis to an Ark, which, don't get me wrong, is awesome too... Just not as awesome as Star Wars.

There is no Raiders without Star Wars. Although both are great.

Ah, an epic struggle between two great throwbacks to classic adventure serials. I have to hand it to Indie, he knows how to tell an entertaining adventure. But I think Star Wars has a better overarching story, and a better climax. I wonder who would win, Han Solo or Indiana Jones? That's a question for the ages...

Lost ark for me, thanks.

This vote could change on a daily basis

A toughie, as I should've guessed from seeing all the comments pop up at the bottom of the screen. I'm gonna have to go with Raiders, though. It's funnier, has more memorable scenes, and Indy's just a damn good character.

c'mon!

This is a hard decision...a very hard decision...

Raiders wins for me. A bit of a tough choice though.
