Raiders of the Lost Ark is my favorite, followed veeeeery closely by Temple of Doom.

"Desert Chase" is one of the best action cues I've ever heard and the Ark theme is so perfectly eery and powerful, especially in "The Map Room: Dawn." The "wrath of God", indeed.

As for Temple of Doom, "Slave Children's Crusade" is one of my favorite Williams themes ever. And the whole score is just so fast paced and exciting. It's like Williams was on a sugar-high when he wrote it. I am absolutely dying for an expanded release of this score.

Last Crusade is, of course, very good as well, but doesn't have the punch of the first two scores. The Grail Theme is wonderful, though, and I love "Scherzo For Motorcycle and Orchestra."

Well_Of_Souls, your mouth is moving, but it's my voice I'm hearing. Odd.

Great minds must really think alike, eh?

Temple of Doom... I would kill for a complete release.

Raiders is fantastic as well, but I don't think Last Crusade has the same "thing" that the others have. It's still great music, but not in the same league IMO.

I've played pool with planets, and I've given birth to twins,
but I never thought in my entire life I'd taste an edible Pot Noodle.

Raiders has the best theme. The other two movies can't compare at all. Simple as that.

I have to give the slight edge to Raiders of the Lost Ark, mostly on the strength of the "Ark" theme. But I love The Last Crusade a great deal and I find myself listening to it a lot more than Raiders.

Its hard to choose between the first one and the last one, but I have to go with Crusade. Its a awsome piece of work.

Last Crusade had Escape from Venice. I also liked the Nazi theme from LC. I would like a complete release of the soundtracks. The only one I can find in stores is the Trilogy CD by the Prague Symphony Orchaestra. The Ark theme and the Slave Children theme are also very good too.

Raiders has the March. I have a feeling Williams would not have been able to write as effective a main theme in 1984 or 1989.
