The scene toward the end where Henry Jones Sr. is hanging on to his son and says, "Indiana.  Indiana.  Let it go." always causes me to tear up.

Harrison Ford plays Indiana Jones perfectly and RIP Sean Connery we will never forget you

Oh my God! Minty has eyes!!!!!!!!

This movie has the BEST characterization & ending of the franchise! I LOVE the part where they reveal the running gag of "Junior" to be Indy's name & he embraces being "Junior". Then the music just at its peak as the foursome ride off into the sunset. Perfect ending to the series, or it would have been. And John Williams's score was amazing (as always).

"He's got a two day head start on you, which is more than he needs.  Brody's got friends in every town and village from here to the Sudan, he speaks a dozen languages, knows every local custom.  He'll blend in, disappear, you'll never see him again.  With any luck, he's got the grail already."

One of the great disappointments of film is that Ford didn't make more IJ movies in his prime.

Jones points: "no ticket!! " LMAO!!

The father/son theme also gave freshness to the franchise, helping avoid yawn-inducing redundancy you get in many sequels. Connery playing the role made the movie.

This film was a lot of fun. It's a shame they didn't just end the series with this one, which was a perfect ending.

I've got a lot of fond memories of that dog.

I remember going to the movie theater with my father, to see Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade. Talking about relationships between fathers and sons, we haven't had the best relationship, and haven't seen or spoken to each other for the better part of 20 years now. I don't have many moments or memories that bring a smile to my face, in regards to my father... But, watching this film in the theater, just he and I, always brings a smile to my face. It was rare that I got a chance to spend time with him alone, usually time spent with him also included my older brother and younger sister. So just the two of us, watching this movie and getting a kick out of seeing Indy on another quest will always have a special place in my heart.

Sir Connery's mannerisms as the elder Dr. Jones reminded me so much of my late father who, like the character, sported a white beard and had a similar detachment hiding endless affection and love.  I enjoy the movie now even more than when it was new.

The temple of doom will always be my favorite. Willie was completely unprepared for that adventure which makes her mannerisms hysterical. And short round is just amazing. I grew up loving that movie and was beyond shocked when I learned later that the movie was reviewed negatively.

Another little known fact- the:" she talks in her sleep" line was improvised by Sean Connery

Completely agree on "Crusade" being a film that is better appreciated with time, as when you're young the father-son dynamic completely flies over your head, and it's that dynamic the one that makes this movie truly special.

Sometimes Spielberg is accused (fairly, IMO) on being too sappy and sentimental in some of his movies, but here it fits perfectly with Indy's story.

This one is my favorite. Some elements like the action and villains are not quite on the level of Raiders, but they're still good, and the pitch perfect father/son arc more than makes up for it.

The tie is added to Indiana's costume when he was about to rescue his dad. It's a mark of respect for his father.

I simply love the transition from River Phoenix to Harrison Ford! Gives me the chills every single time!

The first twelve minutes of this film always depresses me now, because I loved River Phoenix as young Indiana Jones, and just four years later he died far too soon.

Connery was so good in this, really one of his best roles and performances.

This was definitely meant to be the final film (as we all know).

Raiders has a truck chase scene, starting on horseback.

Temple of Doom has a car chase and a mine cart scene and even an inflatable raft ride.

I picture Lucas asking Spielberg what's left for the 3rd. Spielberg tells him, "We could have a train, boats, motorcycles, a blimp, an airplane dog fight, or a tank. What do you think we should go with?" Lucas replies, "Why not all of them?"

A cool little detail at the beginning of the movie; one of the goons chasing young Indiana Jones (played by River Phoenix) was played by Bradly Gregg, who also played Eyeball Chambers, older brother to Chris Chambers (also played by River Phoenix) in Stand By Me.
