: : Hi. This is the second message I've posted on this forum. (My fisrst was feb. 4th, I think) I was just going to say that my favorite IJ movie is probably Raiders, but I thought Temple of Doom was the funniest. What is everybody else's favorite one?

: Welcome to the forum! :)

: Hmm, for me it's hard to say since each film had a different feel to it. From a strictly adventure standpoint I would have to go with Raiders. Temple of Doom was more gothic and (initially) mysterious, while Last Crusade was the funniest and personal (from the fact that we get to see Indy's dad, and thus another side of Indy).

: I like all three of them. At first I thought I was alone in noticing the different moods of each film, but I felt vindicated when I heard George Lucas (in the interview at the end of the rerelease of Last Crusade) tell of his plan to make the mood of each film different. ;)

: I guess from a personal standpoint, I have a special place in my heart for Last Crusade, since it came out about a month or so before I graduated high school (yeah, I'm old! :( )... that period of time being the best time of my whole life (and that summer being the best I could remember for theatrical releases). But I'm sure others have a different favorite depending on different experiences.

: How about you? Did you see them all in the theater when they were first released, or did you first see them on tape (just curious)? :)

Hey Everybody,
Just stumbled on to this site and must say I love it. In regards to favorite movie I would say Raiders because it sparked my interest in archaeology and history, probably because I was so young when I first saw it in the theatre. (Would you believe 7th grade!)
As for another post I saw here about people being embarassed to wear their Indy gear in public, DON'T BE. I wear the hat and jacket all the time. I used to wear it to my history classes all the time in college and found out there are a lot more Indy fans out there then you might think. In fact one summer I went on a dig (for college credit no less) and not only was I in my Indy gear but so was the professor who led the expedition. He gave me the nick name Cuyahoga.
(It's the Native American name of the county the college was in.
Sorry this is kind of long but I had alot I felt I should say.
Thanx for listening.
