This has always been my favourite and still is. Love the relationship between Indy and his dad as well as all the grail lore. The diary with all the notes and illustrations from his father always drew my eye. And I used to play the point and click adventure game too!

It really is.
Raiders has the truck chase, which is maybe the best action sequence in any film ever, but Last Crusade is perfection from beginning to end.
