  Basically The Fabelmans from the dad’s POV.

  Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 1984

  ★★★★ Rewatched 30 Dec 2022

  A problematic fave. The icky banquet sequence is the Spielberg equivalent of QT dropping N-bombs in Pulp Fiction. And definitely wanted to see Willie magma-fied. But what a gorgeous, pristine, slick piece of machinery. The proverbial cinematic "rollercoaster ride", with an actual rollercoaster in it.

  Very tempted to click the "I've seen this film before" tab.
