Whereas not strictly mandatory, I additionally suggest trying out The Final Campaign; not as a result of it has any ties to the Nice Circle that I do know of, however as a result of it is my private favourite! The humorous dynamic between Indy and his father (Sean Connery) is only a blast as they’ve run-in after run-in with the Nazis whereas trying to find Holy Grail. The comedy is a step up from Raiders of the Misplaced Ark, nevertheless it’s nonetheless an action-packed thrill journey.
