My favorite scene is the motorcycle chase through the university. I find it to be the most entertaining and funny scene in the film.
Morning Bell said:The warehouse chase definitely gets my vote. That entire scene was classic Indy and a great way to open the film.
One shot that I've always liked takes place during the jungle chase. Right after Mutt gets caught in the vines the music suddenly kicks back in and it show's Indy's vehicle turning onto the cliff's edge with Spalko pulling up right beside him. The way it's shot and put together has a such a tense "adventure" feel to it that it love.
torao said:Doomtown. The way it's constructed as some kind of mouse trap. How the tension slowly builds up with certain things in the background (tv) foreshadowing or announcing the forthcoming danger. (I love how Indy's stumble over the dummies seems to "activate" the countdown.)
The fact that Indy is all by himself and only by chance finds a (albeit ridiculous) way out.
Scenes with an (even more) elaborate set up like that made the previous three installments stand out.

In case I didn't (too strained for time to look back through the pages), I'd say the most "Indiana Jones" scenes to me were the entirety of the prologue, from opening credits to the mushroom cloud shot, That stretch of movie was...perfect. The rest of the film, I will admit, comes nowhere near to that opening. It's just blasted brilliant!

I always thought Spalko's monologue was awesome when Indy was in a trance. The way it was shot was great, especially the lighting.
