Even as a kid Last Crusade was my favorite of the Indiana Jones films. As an adult, that hasn't changed, but my reaction to it has. I had a difficult relationship with my father growing up, and it wasn't until I was nearing 30 that we started to develop a better relationship. Unfortunately, he died before we could get too far. Now, when i watch the film, I break down crying every time I get to the scene on the cliff.

"I thought I'd lost you, Boy". Tears. Every time.

A review of The Last Crusade. You have chosen... Wisely.

It blows my mind that this was made pre-90s. It still feels so fresh.

My favorite of the three. It was hilarious, had great action scenes, just overall a great story, and an iconic ending.

[klodek]

Between Raiders and Last Crusade, my favorite of the two is always the one I'm currently watching.

[asifkhan]

The Last Crusade is definitely my favorite of the original trilogy. I really love the dynamic between Harrison Ford & Sean Connery which is still the best father-son relationship on-screen. It success was proved as being the No.1 movie worldwide. It's still the best ending to the series proving there was no need for kingdom of the crystal skull.

"The final entry in the series." Sounds rather nice now doesn't it?

"Well I'm as human as the next man."
"I WAS the next man."
Nothing like sloppy seconds to bond with your dad.

The little leitmotif that plays whenever the Grail is mentioned has always been one of my favorite pieces of John Williams music

[Jericho]

I genuinely feel like the Grail Knight waiting for this review to show up on my feed. Knew you’d come.

[McSuperfly]

The best thing about the point & click adventure game was that it came with a physical Grail Diary that you actually had to refer to from time to time for clues.

Whenever Sr. says, "I never told him anything, " as he looked over the cliff. It always makes me tear up.

[rustykuntz]

The final shot of the 4 of them riding off into the sunset was beautiful & a perfect way to wrap up the series....until they made the Crystal Skull UGGH

[trinidadbotello]

The Last Crusade is a really good movie, and it's also what a good movie sequel should be.

This is my favorite movie from the franchise, i love them all, but “The Last Crusade” is very special to me. Its the one i remember the most from my childhood, and i might be the only one here, but i personally always loved the “blue screen” fx in “The Last Crusade”. Even as a kid i noticed them, but they never bothered me, in fact it was the complete opposite for me, i always thought they were part of the charm of the movie. Im a huge fan of Indiana Jones, i loved all the movies and i always will, they are in the same category as the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy, they are simply magical to me! I cant wait for Indina Jones 5!!

Your reviews are exceptionally good and deserve so much more attention.

[sebastianfitzptraick]

This is honestly one of my favourite films, it’s so funny and entertaining. But more than that it has great characters and existential themes. It’s Spielberg in his zenith.
