Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)

The Temple of Doom saw the Indiana Jones series lurch off the rails a little, but all was restored with this third movie. The masterstroke here was the introduction of Sean Connery as Indy's crotchety dad, and the snappy by-play between him and Harrison Ford adds a wonderful new twist to the adventure. The quest this time is for the Holy Grail, no less, and finds Jones reunited with old chums, such as Marcus Brody (played by Denholm Elliott), and old enemies, namely the Nazis (allied with Julian Glover's American collector). As usual, the action is on an epic scale and delivered with breathless enthusiasm and much panache by director Steven Spielberg. There's also a neat sequence at the beginning with River Phoenix as the young Indy that explains such things as our hero's fear of snakes and that scar on his chin. JF
