I'm curious, since I'm a big Indiana Jones fan.

Oh, heck yes.
Three of the best movies of my childhood (and Fate of Atlantis, one of the greatest LucasArts adventures!)... oh, and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, too.

Yes love those movies, watched them so many times. I remember being too scared as a kid to watch him rip out the guy's heart in the Temple of Doom. I have to say tho if Shia Leboeuf (what ever his name is) becomes the main character i will lose interest.

Most defiintely I am fan. I was fortuanate to be in New Haven, CT when they were filming a scene at Yale University.

It was great to see the old cars they were using parked in the street. On one block they changed the store fronts to the style of the 40s. Unfortunately it wasn't seen in the movie. It was fun to be there.

I like all 4 of the movies. I think Temple of Doom is easily the worst one, but it is still enjoyable. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had it's problems but I still really enjoyed it.

I like Indiana Jones... but it seems like they released more "bonus material" than actual movies... :x

I have seen all of the movies. Love them. Grew up on them as a kid. But my Dad would not, for the longest time, let me see Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The part where the evil shaman guy pulls out a heart... Dad would have thought I'd freak out. But, as a kid, I had some serious morbid curiosity, so I eventually saw it. And ironically, horror movies scared me when I was a kid, but I forced myself to watch them anyway to get over my fear of haunted houses. But this isn't about horror movies. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was a particular favorite of mine. I love the dynamics between Indy and his "Dad."

TRIVIA: You know that that one scene (heart-ripper) was what caused the movie ratings people to create the PG13 rating?

Here here! Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade is one of my all time favorite movies, and I liked the other movies too, including Kingdom of The Crystal Skull, which, while it is my least favorite of the four, I feel is not as bad as some folks make it out to be.
