Temple Of Doom is your favourite film of 84... and yet you've never seen Raiders all the way through?

Wow.

I know!
I guess I just missed out on Raiders, and Doom was more my time - I remember seeing that and Jedi so many times at the flicks.
I remember seeing that ending of Raiders when the Nazis all melt and it terrified me, so I didn't want to watch any more of it lol.
Doom's just got so many cool set pieces.
