Explain yourself. You and Sand has been first persons ever to prefer Temple over Crusade as far as my experience shows. It is also the most critically slacked movie of three and no wonder
Third one has Sean Connery as Indy's dad. That alone makes it better than stupid CGI-fest that was Temple of Doom
It had a great balance between the high adventuring and the scariness, the three leads had great chemistry, the dinner scene balanced the tense conversations with the food comic relief really well, the bridge scene was awesomely tense, ditto for the room with the spikes, the humor was great, the beginning with Anything Goes and the poisoning was at least as good as Raiders' beginning.
Finally, and I'm going out on a limb here, the reason why most people you know like The Last Crusade better than Temple of Doom is because it was the first Indy film most people your age saw in theaters. Feel free to lambast me if I'm completely wrong.
