Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 1989
Something I've come to appreciate about the trilogy this time around is how different every movie feels.

Many vital elements of the book, such as the motivation behind the FBI's investigation, are left by the wayside. In Scorsese's attempt to portray marginalized people, he focuses almost exclusively on their…
