This is a topic for all things 'Indiana Jones'.
Top 4:
1. Raiders of the Lost Ark/Last Crusade
2. Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
3. Temple of Doom
I recently purchased the new Indy special editions. They have about 20-30mins of extra's each, this s usually a couple of documentry's, a picture gallery and a storyboard or 2. But the remastering is even better than the UE Bond DVDs.
Here is my review for the latest one for anyone who's interested

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - A Review
Well it started of a little different and felt nothing like Indiana Jones but that soon changed. Later on we see the double-crossing backstabbing best mate 'Mac' (Ray Winstone) who was fantastic. The opening action sequence wasn't fantastic but it wasn't bad. I think at times (especially towards the end) it was too predictable and silly but I think all Indiana Jones films have this problem. We soon run into fellow characters 'Mutt' (Shia Le Bouf) and previous companion/girlfriend 'Marion' (Karen Allen). We soon figure out that 'Mutt' is Indy's son and we have a mum/dad/son scenario. It sounds rubbish but is better than I thought. We also see 'Prof. Ox' (John Hurt) who's lost his mind a little from looking too much into the crystal skull. It takes a while to get really into the film like the other ones but by the bike chase/truck chase, you are firmly in your seat. It ends a bit silly with the aliens/Indy and Marion getting married, but it's still got some great action and tension (The killer ants). It's all about some crystal skull (an aliens skull) being taken back to it's original temple which is apparently a city of gold (Mac gets upset when he finds out it's not). We later find out it's an alien from another dimension and a portal to another dimension sucks in many of the led villains goons along with 'Mac'. She wants to know everything (probably stuff like the meaning of life) but it's all too much and she blows up into little pieces which are sucked up into the dimension too. 7/10.
