If you are talking the entire franchise, Indiana Jones edged out the first two Jurassic Parks.

Story-wise Jones beats dinos hands down.

Technical special effects go to the lizzards.

Box Office goes to Jurassic Park when adjusted for inflation, but money isn't everything..

I'd have to agree with a previous post that, assuming "Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" never happened, and I think eventually historians will agree to that fact, Indiana Jones wins hands down. And in an extremely rare feat, I feel each sequel surpassed the film before it. In my mind, they might just be the greatest non-animated family films ever made, even if "Temple of Doom" inspired the MPAA to create the PG-13 rating, and The Last Crusade was PG-13.

In those days, PG-13 films were aimed specifically at teenagers, as they are today. I don't think 90% of parents would think twice about letting their 7 year old watch either of those two movies.

(as a side note, other candidates for greatest non- animated family films in my list would be The Goonies, The Sandlot, and strangely enough, My Dog Skip. Note I said "family film" not "children's film")

Jurassic Park on the other hand, while definitely requiring a slightly more mature audience, had great visual effect, but its plot and characterization was so-so at best. To be fair, I never saw the second or third ones, but this is mostly because I was advised not to on account that they just didn't hold up to the first.

Not even close. Indiana Jones series made more money and had quality stories. Jurassic Park I was great, but the rest were like the Jaws sequels - vapid, empty copies.

I like Indiana Jones personally

Indiana Jones period. Jurrasic Park 1 was pretty good. The 2nd and 3rd movies were rape. Then the King Peter Jackson came along with King KOng and made it look like Barney. Anyway the fourth Indy wasn't as bad as people made it out to be. Again another instance of people expecting the second coming. The whole point of the movie was just to have some old classic Indy fun for an hour. Yes the nuking the fridge was silly, yes shia lebeouf going Tarzan was crazy, yes Ray Winstone being like a quadruple agent was dumb, yes the space between spaces wtf. The point is is that you don't have to accept it as cannon if you thought it was crap compared to the original three..seriously. Sorry to preach.

without a shadow of doubt Indiana Jones

Indiana Jones for sure (and let's just pretend that Crystal Skull never happened)
