Never considered before that #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade begins with Indiana Jones "finding" the Cross of Coronado and of course ends with him also finding the Holy Grail.
It does seem like one of the Apostles would have kept the Holy Grail. That seems like the kind of memento you'd want to have but we guess they had other things on their mind. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
And yes, we know that there is a 1000 years of Grail-lore, from the Arthurian legends to Dan Brown. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
How does Indiana Jones keep the rubbing of the tablet dry? He was totally submerged in the petroleum-filled waters underneath the library. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
"Why do you seek the cup of Christ? Is it for His glory or for yours?" Indiana Jones ends up having to answer that question near the end of the film. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
Shout out to St. Anselm! #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
Also we appreciate how Henry Jones, Sr. is not down with taking the Lord's name in vain. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
"For the unrighteous, the Cup of Life holds everlasting damnation." A valid warning for a lot of things. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
In #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade, Indiana Jones survives the first test of faith by kneeling, show his humbleness before God. Of course, in today's world, his kneeling would be seen as disrespect.
The Leap of Faith that Indiana Jones takes is one of our all-time favorite moments in movies. #IndianaJonesandtheLastCrusade
The look the knight and Indiana Jones give each other when Donovan lets Elsa choose the "grail" for him is low-key hilarious. #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade
"He chose... poorly." All time great line. #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade
Okay but would the Grail actually have gilded paint? #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade
Always liked the fact that there is a price to immortality. It doesn't come without responsibility. #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade
In the end, Henry Jones Sr. and Jr. survive because they weren't interested in finding the Grail for their own glory. They were like the Jesuits: men for others. #IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade
