Movies that feel likeIndiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
If you loved Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the closest films we have are The 36th Chamber of Shaolin (1978), Troy (2004) and Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (2015). All three share Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade's epic and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Come Drink with Me (1966).

Serial-style action built on discipline, escalation and payoff
The difference: A Shaw Brothers kung fu classic — dubbed, stagebound and ritualistic

Ancient legend staged as sweeping large-scale spectacle
The difference: Solemn sword-and-sandal warfare — the fun is largely absent

Globe-hopping set pieces engineered like clockwork
The difference: Sleek modern spycraft — gadget cool instead of pulp romance

A nimble hero cutting through danger with style and wit
The difference: A 1966 wuxia landmark — formal, subtitled and of its era

Rousing matinee heroics with a wisecracking edge and a great villain
The difference: Creakier — remembered for Rickman and the theme song, not craft

A period world rendered with breathtaking visual conviction
The difference: Nearly still — an art film where minutes pass between movements

Spielberg set-piece craft — peril staged with a showman's timing
The difference: Grimmer creature-movie menace — banter is not on the menu

A relic hunter chasing artifacts through slapstick set pieces
The difference: Late-period Jackie Chan — the invention outruns the filmmaking

A legend deflated and rebuilt as a muscular action romp
The difference: Forgettable mid-2010s gloss — spectacle without a signature

Epic where it counts, kinetic underneath
The difference: 32 years apart, and the 2020s show

Both lean on scale more than on adventure
The difference: Leans further into drama

Kinetic action in both cases
