Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

It is 1938. When his father goes missing looking for the holy grail, Indiana Jones sets out to find him. His adventures will take him through Europe and beyond, and surprises are around every corner. Nobody can be trusted, and success will require an act of faith. Does Indy have it in him?

This 1989 movie is the sequel to the first installment and returns to familiar goals (pursuit of a Christian  relic) and foes (the Nazis). It is much better than The Temple of Doom, and may be the best of the trilogy for its humor, and more developed plot (though there are still some rushed areas). Of course, the theology surrounding the grail is terrible, but there are a few redeeming moments. The effects are dated, and it isn't a perfect film, but it is fun.
