Then Crystal Skull and this next movie are for you, man! Have at it!
Last Crusade is my favourite.

Only if you think Last Crusade, and its comic antics, is the definitive Indy.
There are those that do. But there are those who prefer the PT also.
Spoiler:You're completely wrong, of course.
RAIDERS is the definitive Indy.
All other sequels drop to a substantially different level.
Yes, even the hat in Raiders was the best.
There's a lot of good things about KotCS.
Unfortunately they're too unimportant and small in comparison to the bad ones.
I truly can't think of one. It's an episode of Indy, and a movie, I totally would like to forget.

For me it's Raiders and then TOD
TLC is average at best.. I never cared for the Humor used in that one.. Too many goofy characters being Goofy. Sean Connery and the Tank Chase saved that film. Worst villains of the original 3 IMO. I thought Fords acting was a bit phoned in also.
TOD has it's fair share of goofiness but it works better IMO. The Chemistry between Short Round and Indy is great and Willy is just an homage to Fay Wray. Plus I think Indy's reactions too her are appropriate and work. It's not a perfect film but as a sequel to one of the greatest action films of all time it did a great job and took some chances at being a completely different type film.
KOTCS is awful as a whole... But I find the first 40 min enjoyable enough.. Nothing great but enjoyable... Then Marion shows up and it really goes down hill from there... I am not putting it all on her It's just the film really took an awful nose dive. Goofy stuff happening left and right. No sense of danger for the audience or the characters on screen... It was a big TV sit com.
I am OK with a new Indy if they can do it right... If not then I still have the first two and parts of the third.
TOD is a cheesy dumb ride where Indy is you and his sidekicks are your cart neighbors that you want to just STFU and die.
I'll never understand how can anyone choose it over TLC.
See, now we're right back in total agreement. I knew it. Let's promise never to talk about the Black Hole.
Let's talk 'dumb ride' -- Riddick, when Indy is trapped hanging by his bag strap on the tank and facing certain dramatic doom, how does he get that strap unlooped so he can get free?
He doesn't is the correct answer. He does nothing to cleverly escape doom. In fact, when Dad turns the tank, Indy gets up as if nothing had happened -- like he was never tangled by his own strap, the entire excuse for the "trap" just evaporates. It makes zero sense. It's lazy filmmaking, hoping the audience "will not notice". Last Crusade is rife with that kind of crap.
