I count myself lucky - our baby has been to the movies on multiple occasions and has never been a problem. She sleeps thru most of it, even now in the toddler stage. We'll still mostly stick with grandma babysitting for the most part now.

I won't do that for a few reasons.  First, the jackasses that run movie theaters often turn the sound way too high, especially in action movies.  Infant ears drums are still developing and are far easier to damage than those of adults or even kids who are three or four years old.  Second, I hate when I have paid a lot of money to have a movie experience, only to be sucked out of it into reality when someone's baby starts crying.  And most people try to make their kid stop crying because they don't want to miss any of the movie, so everyone just has to put up with at least 30 seconds, if not a minute or more of crying baby before a parent finally takes the baby out.  Third, like those parents who don't immediately take their baby out, I don't like missing five or ten minute portions of movies that I have paid a lot of money to see, which is exactly what happens once you take the kid out.  I especially don't like doing this over and over again when a kid starts crying over and over, as they are wont to do once they've decided they don't want to be sitting in the dark room doing nothing anymore.  I also don't want to subject the rest of the room to my repeated in-out routine with the crying kid.  Cos most of them are probably like me, and don't like to have their expensive experience ruined by someone who couldn't get a sitter.  It's discourteous.  I think there are simply things that you give up to have a kid, and if I wasn't ready to give them up, I shouldn't have had a kid.  One of those things is being able to go see a movie without first hiring a sitter.

Young kids ALWAYS pick Temple of Doom as the favorite. Mainly because of Short Round, and the Monkey Brains desert.  ;D

It was my favorite as a kid, but it was the first one I saw at the movies, as well. (I don't know why we didn't go see Raiders....I didn't see it until the late eighties!)

Now I rank them:
Raiders
Temple
Crusade
Skull (though I loved Skull and thought it was better than Crusade at first, but that soon wore off...)

The dvd player had a untimely fast foward malfunction for that part if you know what I mean.
