4. Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark

I like all these movies but isn't there a real case for Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade being the best one?

It's got it all....Sean Connery in a tweed hat, sexy female scientists in very tight pencil skirts, a Messerschmidt fighter being shot down by seagulls, an evil Nazi in a black uniform and a monocle who's gets thrown out a Zeppelin, a Venetian speed boat sub-machine battle...etc....etc

Oh and the "fighting on the tank" scene is even better than it's equivalent "figting on a truck" scene in 'Raiders'.

blade runner
2001: a space odyssey

When I try to do these lists the first two I always think of are Jaws and Zulu. Then I get stuck.

It's good and certainly better than the middle installment, but the first 15-20 minutes of Raiders is gold and alone better than Crusade.
