My personal rankings.
1 - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
2 - Raiders of the Lost Arc
3 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
4 - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

"Crusade" is a great adventure movie while "Skull" is a boring cash grab.
btw, I also rate "Temple" above "Raiders".

Raiders A+
Temple B+
Skull B+
Crusade B+
I do rank it last for its poor female lead & villain, & it probably doesn't help having much of its action at a degree to make Ford Sr. & old Brody along seem plausible.

I like all of the ones from the 1980's. I think I probably enjoy Last Crusade the most and Raiders the least. But I still like Raiders.

4. Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull - 6.5/10
   you
   really
   lost me there

I'd rate them in the following way :
1.Temple of Doom - 9/10
2.Raiders of the Lost Ark - 8.5/10
3.The Last Crusade - 7/10
4.Skull - 4/10
As some mentioned already 'Last Crusade' felt like a rehash of 'Raiders',I didn't like the overuse of humor and there were also too many 'sidekicks' leaving not so much screen time and focus on Indy.
still a solid movie but doesn't come close to the first 2.

Here's what I gave
Lost Ark 4/10, rubbish film nobody liked it.
Temple of Doom 7/10, yeah better than the first one in ways, so gave it a 7.
Last Crusade 7/10 a bit than the rest I thought, I thought Sean Connery was good in this film, as he is in any film really. Yes there was a loads of plot holes but I preferred it to the other films to be honest.
Now onto the 2008 remake of the first film, I hope it's as good as people make out, am looking forward to it.

It definitely is.

Raiders 9.5
Crusade 9
Temple 8.5

Temple of Doom is extremely underrated.

All superb films, however.

I like all the Indiana Jones movies apart from the fourth one. I think this one is probably the most fun but Temple Of Doom is my personal favorite.
How many a$$holes we got on this ship, anyhow?!

Crusade
Raiders
Temple
Skull

1. Raiders, Last Crusade, Temple of Doom.
2. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
   All three of the originals are immensely entertaining.

Best. Avatar. Ever.

I think it's the best, I love Raiders too, if I had to rank them I think Raiders and Crusade are equally as good as the other.

I have the same ranking

I think it's the best one cause it's more story driven than adventure driven. Though it of course has it adventure moments too.

As a kid Temple of Doom was my favorite, but this was mainly down to short round, the action in it and the mine chase..
For a long time Crusades was my least favorite as I felt it was far to story driven, with no action in it.
As time went on I grew to appreciate it a lot more, with it now being my favorite, and Doom being majorly relegated.
My order of rank just now is.
Last Crusade - 9/10
Raiders of the Lost Ark - 8/10
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull 6.5/10 (For all its faults, the first 2/3 of the movie is up there with the best of Indy I feel, just dragged down by a poor and majorly rushed ending)
Temple of Doom - 6/10

I agree, it's not the best. However, (in my opinion) it's not the worse either.
My personal order:
Raiders of the Lost Ark
The Last Crusade
Temple of Doom
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
I would have put Crusade and Doom joint if it wasn't for Willie and Short-Round. I found them cringe worthy and next to useless (in fairness, Short-Round actually did something useful occasionally!)
Why, thank you, Thing!

Temple of Doom is by far the best imo, but I still really love The Last Crusade (and still think its definitely better than Crystal Skull).

too deriative of the first movie
That's because after Temple of Doom, everyone said Raiders was better and that's what they should do. it's a common theme around these boards. While you have mentioned this is derivative, others have complained that it's not enough like Raiders.go figure.
