God, I have such a love-hate relationship with Temple of Doom. It has enough decent parts that I sometimes still watch it if it's on, but it's filled with so much shitty acting, gross-out scenes, and 1980s-era casual racism.

The Post is pretty shitty in it's erasure of the genocidal nature of the Vietnam War. Hated that movie and still bitter it got nominations over more worthy films that year.

That's a fair complaint. But still... Temple of Doom? Yecch.
So, full disclosure. When I voted I had only seen the first two Indiana Jones' and not the Last Crusade. But we watched the Last Crusade yesterday and it was prob my favourite of the IJ series.

Is that a hot take or a common take?
I think a lot of people feel this way, although it's more traditionally held that Raiders is the go-to Indiana Jones.
I did a film class for some of elementary/middle schoolers here in Seoul. I showed them Last Crusade instead of Raiders, though mostly because there is less face-melting in Last Crusade that could get me in trouble with their parents. Anyway, they really enjoyed it.
I think I also just enjoyed the premise of Last Crusade more. The idea of the holy grail is something I've always thought was interesting, so the idea of that being the plot is overall just more interesting to me.
I also just don't remember much of ark tbh. Maybe I need to rewatch it. But Last Crusade was just more fun.

Raiders has a few good quotes - "Top. Men.", "Bad dates"...but Last Crusade blows it out of the water in that respect.
"He chose...poorly."
"Only the penitent man will pass."
"But in the Latin alphabet, Jehovah begins with an I."
I like Last Crusade better mostly because i saw it in the theater as an 8 year old and it was my intro to Jones. If I didn't make it being CF for the Pirates, being Jones was a good backup plan.
Fun trivia: Indy was originally meant to be a pedophile. Lucas thought it would be an "interesting" character wrinkle.
"[Jones] could have known this little girl when she was just a kid," the transcript has him saying. "Had an affair with her when she was eleven."
Shortly afterward, Lucas wants to make her twelve. "He's thirty-five, and he knew her ten years ago when he was twenty-five and she was only twelve," he said. Then, as justification for the age gap, he says that "it would be amusing to make her slightly young at the time."
Amusing? More like illegal, buddy. Anyway, as the transcript goes on, Lucas reveals a fixation on the age gap, even as he seems to become aware that he sounds completely insane and starts suggesting Marion be older. "Fifteen is right on the edge," he said. "I know it's an outrageous idea, but it is interesting. Once she's sixteen or seventeen it's not interesting anymore."
