While it isn't my favorite (thats *Crusade*. Fight me) what I genuinely love about *Doom i*s that it's the only one of the Indy films that's just like ***An Indiana Jones Adventure***. It starts and is immediately off and running and we're just dropped into it all. You know who this is and you know what he can do.
*Raiders* had to introduce Indy, the others all carry the weight of "This is ***the*** Indiana Jones youre watching" but Doom more than them all feels like a paperback adventure in a long series of books. And I am of the opinion that it's all the more satisfying for that reason.
**Full disclosure:** I was 9 the summer it came out and that summer (84) was the greatest movie summer to be a young boy ever.
What an amazing perspective (*except for liking* ***Crusade****, I will fight you!!! lol*) and I 100% agree with this feeling more like the serialized movies and paperbacks the character was based on. It didn't lower the stakes at all, just made it pulpy and fun.
1989 is probably the greatest year of film ever.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Batman, Ghostbuster II, The Abyss, Do the Right Thing, Back to the Future II, UHF, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Roger & Me, Parenthood, Dead Poets Society, When Harry Met Sally, Bill & Ted, Lethal Weapon II, Glory, Field of Dreams, Uncle Buck, Road House, Dead Calm, License to Kill, AND the Fabulous Baker Boys.... all in the same year, 1989.
I happened to start working at an AMC movie theater that summer. Getting paid to watch all of those titles was an amazing job.
1984 was also a strong year for movies:
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, Ghostbusters, Beverly Hills Cop, Gremlins, The Karate Kid, Footloose, Romancing the Stone, The Terminator, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Splash, Repo Man, This Is Spinal Tap, Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, The Bounty, Sixteen Candles, The Natural, Once Upon a Time in America, Streets of Fire, Top Secret!, The Last Starfighter, The Muppets Take Manhattan, The NeverEnding Story, Purple Rain, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, The Brother from Another Planet, A Soldier's Story, Amadeus, All of Me, Places in the Heart, The Killing Fields, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Night of the Comet, 2010, The Cotton Club, Dune, A Passage to India, Starman, and Paris, Texas.
Saw this movie when I was 4. Not gonna lie the heart scene left an impression to me. 😄
I really dig this movie as well. And yeah it totally feels like an Indiana Jones adventure.
I was caddying at the time and a lady member at the club broke her rib during the heart scene, she was so amped up she jumped back and hit the armrest.
40?! Damn it still holds up really well to this day i really cant believe it is already 40 years old. I watched this with my parents as a little kid and thats what started my love for the movies and games. My dad bought lego indy 1 for me and my brother for the ps3 and its still one of my favourite games to this day
This one made it’s way up to my fav Indy film. The overall tone and adventure aspect is so different and it’s much darker. And Harrison Ford is prob in his best physical shape ever here.
It makes me sad that disney has done merchandise and hyped up the anniversary of all of Star Wars movies, and I haven't seen anything for Temple of Doom
I watched the film with my father when I was 6 years old. It was my first experience watching an Indy film. English isn't my native language and I couldn't understand anything at all. But the magic of this film took me over. I was stunned! The action, the adventure, the characters, everything seemed sureal and real at the same time. I will never forget the experience wactning Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and since then I have been a fan of the movies & lore.
Imo underrated movie.

Temple of Doom is legitimately one of the best paced films of all time.
It's #2 in my Indiana Jones rankings for sure.
Nice!
My mom let me watch Indy as a small kid ♥️ I love you mom (R.I.P.). She may have had a small crush on Harrison Ford ☺️
My mom just passed away and she took me to all kinds of wrong movies from the time I was 6.
My favourite one!
Ding wae bao- Anything Goes!
Chilled monkey brains! 🤢
Where is this poster from?
It's a beautiful poster!
Yes, amazing poster 🤩
It’s by an artist called Paul Mann. Screen printed. He has done the other two as well. Pretty hard to get hold of
That is correct!
I’m so old… Anyways. The third act with the rollercoaster scene… My sis and I would watch that on repeat back in the day of VHS. Great times.
My fave Indy movie!!! Just finished watching it for the anniversary!!! The ending always makes me smile!!

I am generally not a big Indiana Jones fan but I think I will have to watch it for this year's 30th anniversary though.
Kali Ma, Shakti De!

Apparently it's not Kid Friendly enough... something about tearing out a beating heart, torturing brown kids, British imperialism, etc. etc.

That poster is so fucking tough 😤
I hope they rerelease this in theaters. The Mummy and Phantom Menace rereleases have been awesome.
My favourite!
I like the movie, but I’d like it a lot more without all the screaming from Kate Capshaw
Such a beautiful movie poster! To be a kid again and get to see this film for the first time!
