A movie so good, 10 pictures aren't nearly enough. The best adventure film ever. I've seen this more than any other film and it's perfect every time. A+
Terrific introduction for Harrison Ford's best character.
The idol
A ridiculous sunset
The incomparable Karen Allen, perfect in every way, a pre-feminist matching Indy (and Spielberg) at every turn.
Fire
Indy knees a dude in the balls
A little sense of humor goes a long way
Explosion
The map room. (Who needs CGI when you have story, character, and dialogue?)
Comedy = Tragedy + Time
The best villain of the series
An even more ridiculous sunset
Snakes
The ark
Indy takes a beating
More great shadows and light
Indy's escape
The truck sequence is my favorite
Mystery, faith, and righteousness give the film unexpected depth
A terrific cynical wrap-up.

I rewatched the Last Crusade last night and one thing I never had picked up on before was how much they use Indy's shadow with the hat on.
I noticed it again in one of the pictures you'd listed...it's not often one finds an action film that has an eye for depth.
