Raiders of the Lost Ark is the best out of the series and Last Crusade is second. Both are fun, have great action scenes and have similar structure.

Well as I explained, I never had any sort of expectations for the film as it was the first one out of the Quadrilogy that I saw, and it remains the only one that I watched at the cinemas. Obviously, not being a fan of the first three films helped in some way because I wasn't left holding my head in my hands at the fridge, the prairie dogs or Shia LaBeoufs Tarzan antics. To me, it was just a silly and ridiculously overblown action movie that was entertaining in its own insane right.
I've since watched the quadrilogy again and for me it still stands;
1: Temple of Doom
2: Raiders of The Lost Ark
3: Kingdom of The Crystal Skull
4: The Last Crusade
Sorry, fanboys
EDIT: I agree that this was the best I've seen Buscemi, alongside his role as Seymour in Ghost World. And as for Inglourious Basterds, I haven't heard that many good things about it thus far... apparently the dialogue is still not up to Reservoir/Pulp standards and the action is hit and miss. Still though, I'll give it a watch, and I think Brad Pitt's character has all the potential to be a fantastic movie character.
