I hated temple of Doom, but enjoyed Last Crusade. As long as they kept with the Christian mythology, they were ok. The Hindu or whatever religion it was in TOD just didn't do anything for me.

In order of Preference:

Last Crusade
Lost Ark
Temple of Doom

Wait, what? That doesn't happen.

Are you thinking of the game Command & Conquer: Red Alert?

There is an "encounter" with Hitler in the Last Crusade, but he's fairly removed from the plot otherwise.

As for my list of preference the Last Crusade is honestly my favorite, with Temple of Doom being the least. All of them have a good sense of entertainment about them though.

I think you are trolling, GuyOfDoom!

Well cool, I learned that I have several incomplete and broken memories about those two films, and that someone actually likes Last Crusade better than Raiders.

I wasn't sure it was time travel, but that's how I remembered it, like the motif had been taken from the other "if you could assassinate Hitler, would you??????" stories which are mostly time-travel stories. Isn't it that Indy's dad contemplates killing Hitler but has doubts and then misses the chance due to delaying and a (poorly choreographed) adventure/fight? Maybe I'm misremembering that too.

...I think I just saw David E. Gervais.

Can't be. He never posts!

Ok, I just watched Raiders of the Lost Ark, followed two nights later by The Temple of Doom, and feel called to post to this thread. I still have not re-watched The Lost Crusade, and I have not seen the 2008 Indiana Jones film.

I had only seen The Temple of Doom in the theatre once when it came out and not again until last night.

It is enormously, almost unfathomably worse that Raiders, IMO. Holy freakin' heck, it makes almost no sense, and is mostly horribly choreographed, timed, etc. What an awful thing. Well, it has a few moments, but I mean, it'd be a forgettable silly B movie except it is supposed to be a good film, no? Harrison Ford, Raiders being really well done in most ways... and then, ya, glowing potatoes... plbbbttt!

I wholly concur with PvK on this one!
