By far, "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" is my favorite film of the trilogy. This movie is just absolutely enjoyable to watch from start to finish. Indy is back chasing a religious artifact that a widespread audience can appreciate, battling the Nazis across the skies and desert, and the woman is not the annoying, scream fest of "The Temple of Doom." In particular, I enjoyed two aspects of this film. First, it provides an explanation for many aspects of Indiana Jones's character. For example, we receive background information of Indy's youth, providing an explanation for why he chose the field of archaeology to begin with. Why does Indiana Jones have Harrison Ford's famous chin scar? Why is he named "Indiana?" Where did he get his hat and bullwhip? All of these questions are answered and fleshed out in this film. Secondly, and more importantly, I enjoyed seeing the interaction between Harrison Ford and Sean Connery. It was very nice to see the father/son relationship and development throughout the movie. In the first two movies, Indy's character is rather flat and uninteresting. In "Last Crusade," however, we finally get to see his character come alive and develop.
On top of all the action in this film, the music score is fantastic and really adds depth to the film. The comedy in this film is also immense; "Last Crusade" definitely has a lot of fun. The scene in which Indiana fends off the Nazis on a motorbike, while his father does nothing but frown is classic and cannot be missed. If you haven't seen this film, just go see it. It's that simple.

After having taken a definitively dark turn in 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, director Steven Spielberg and executive producer George Lucas decided that the third installment of the series should be thrilling, lighter in tone and more upbeat and humorous. In other words, they wanted to recreate the Saturday-matinee serial fun of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Lucas, Menno Meyjes and screenwriter Jeffrey Boam wrote a story that once again sent the archaeologist/adventurer Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) on the quest for another legendary artifact -- the Holy Grail. And to avoid the inevitable "ho hum, been there, done that" syndrome that sequels often suffer from, they decided to include a father-son dynamic to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade by casting Sean Connery as Professor Henry Jones.
Although Last Crusade follows the basic structure -- borrowed from the James Bond series -- of the other movies by starting the film with the end of a previous adventure before introducing the main storyline, the film tweaks the formula by showing us Indy's first big adventure...in 1912 Utah, when the future archaeology professor is a Boy Scout (literally) living with his widowed father, Henry Jones. While on a Boy Scouting sojourn in the mountainous desert, young Indy (River Phoenix) wanders into a cave and sees a group of ruffians pilfering the long-lost Cross of Coronado. "That cross is an important artifact," Indy says to a fellow Boy Scout. "It belongs in a museum." Indy sends his friend for help, steals the Cross of Coronado from the ruffians, but ends up being chased as he attempts to escape on foot, horseback and even a circus train. (One of the best scenes in the series: the handsome rogue who was hired to find the Cross by the collector known in the credits as "Panama Hat" tells Indy, "You lost today, kid. But that doesn't mean you have to like it." And in a show of admiration for the kid's spunk and courage, takes off his hat and places it on Indy's head. Spielberg holds the camera on the hat, and in the blink of an eye, we flash forward 26 years and to the conclusion of Indy's search for the Cross of Coronado.)
After this exciting prologue, The Last Crusade gets underway when American millionaire Walter Donovan (The Empire Strikes Back's Julian Glover) commissions Indy to find the missing leader (and his important papers) of Donovan's Holy Grail recovery team. Several clues have been found near Ankara, clues that might lead to the location of the legendary cup used by Jesus at the Last Supper -- a cup that also caught some of His blood at the Crucifixion. But when Indy temporizes, Donovan tells him the identity of the missing team leader...and our favorite archaeologist/adventurer starts out on yet another globe-trotting trek to chase an ancient treasure.
Soon, Indiana Jones, his friend and boss Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott), Elsa Schneider (Allison Doody) -- a young, sexy Austrian archaeologist who works for Donovan -- and Indy's friend Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) set off on a quest to find the legendary Grail.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, with its crisp script, thrilling music by John Williams, fine directing by Spielberg and a convincing chemistry between Ford and Connery, is one of the best action films made in the 1980s, and its recent release on DVD proves that it, like the other films in the series, has aged well.

After the dismal Temple of Doom, I hoped the next Indiana Jones movie would somehow get the story back on track. I hoped for three dimensional characters, a decent storyline, not one wild chase after another. I am pleased to say Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was that, and a lot more!
Indiana Jones must go to Europe to find his estranged father, played by the great Sean Connery. As fate has it, he finds himself drawn into his father's obsessive quest for the mythical Holy Grail, complete with nazis, femme fatales, and everything else that made the first film a hit.
Forget the second one, people, THIS is the true sequel.

This movie is far superior to The Temple of Doom but falls far short of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Sean Connery is wonderful as Indy's father and it appeared that the makers of this film tried to repackage what they could from the first film. The Nazis are back as the villians and this time instead of the Ark of the Covennant, Indy is after another religious relic; The Holy Grail. (Funny but I remember Monty Python looking for the same thing).

this one is great, the third installment in the series with more action and comedy that blend in good. the end is awesome with the holy dude and the grail, seems like Indy beat the Pythons to the punch, haha. the parts where Connery and Ford bicker are great.enjoy this classic and if you think Spielberg is a crappy director then you should be hung by the testicales
