Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom turns 35 today, and it's still as fun as ever

Truth be told, a large reason why I love this film is because it's not afraid to go dark. Temple of Doom is violent, brutal and incredibly visceral but it taps into something that very few filmmakers get; kids don't mind being scared.

That chanting was so ominous and haunting that the human sacrifice scene still stays with you... 30 years after the film was released! To be honest, the famous scene where Indy and Willie are offered to eat snakes, eyeball soup, bugs and chilled monkey brains is massively culturally insensitive. In terms of the film's villains, the Thugees did exist - although the film stylises their history of murder, violence and human sacrifice.

This genuinely could be one of the best lines in the original trilogy. Cocksure and confident, it's a perfect Indy moment.After drinking that poisoned blood, our hero falls into the Black Sleep of the Kali Ma and turns evil. Yep, Indy hits Short Round and tortures Willie. Just like it seems that there's no way back for Indy, Short Round breaks free and burns him free from the curse.

It also helps that John Williams provides one of the greatest ever scores for this exact moment. Genuine goosebumps.
