Star Wars, though my reasons are weak because I barely remember the movie. I remember Indiana Jones even less. I think that Star Wars has affected more people, long-term overall.
Not just because it formed a hefty part of my soul growing up, but also because it was powerful enough to spawn its own nerd kingdom. Indiana Jones was just a movie; Star Wars remains an ongoing cultural phenomenon.
You are all too smart to be this foolish...if there ever was a need for The New American Center for Performing Morons, it is now.
How ridiculously easy it was be to save the world, become a cultural phenomenon or spawn nerd kingdoms with light sabers and Ewoks.
Consider how much harder it was to save the world, change public opinion of the hipness of archeologists and make Sean Connery the second coolest guy on the screen with nothing but a misused whip, a dusty hat and three handfuls of good-looking, hard-working chutzpah.
Doc-tah Jones! Doc-tah Jones! Covah yor heart, Indy, Covah yor heart!
Now if this were a contest between Indiana Jones and Spaceballs...no question...Spaceballs all the way. But it isn't now, is it. So my vote is a tentative Star Wars.

Agreed. Star Wars. No question.

Star Wars. It is like Indiana Jones on steroids.... much more was at stake in Star Wars... much more important.
Star Wars. No contest.
(Though I must disagree with Carl's assertion that Indiana Jones was "just a movie.")
(That's like saying Hurricane Katrina was just some rain showers.)
I love it when you guys make me laugh. Alex, you are so right about Indiana Jones.
Puh-lease!

Pardon my spelling and grammer issues...when it comes to defending freedom and the American way, I will stop at nothing!
Star Wars stinks. Take that!
I agree with Hugh- Indiana all the way. He was a renaissance man. At least Indiana Jones, his adventures, was somewhat believable... i mean c'mon.
I really lost all respect for any actor that chose to star in Star Wars. Wait...what?

The answer: Star Wars.
No disrespect to a great movie.
Also, Han Solo is cooler than Indiana Jones.
