An American Werewolf in London vs. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

Unfair to match these up, basically due to genres....but gotta go with TOD just on sheer re-watchability. AWiL was a great film, and has some of the scariest scenes of my childhood. The casual nature of Jack appearing as a decaying corpse was haunting to me, and introduced me to the concept of eating the runny egg yolks with toast. And the horror nazi monsters shooting up the family....wow. However, Temple of Doom can be watched over and over and is still great. It's the only Indiana Jones movie that didn't deal with a Christian artifact, and therefore had a decidedly spookier vibe to it. Not to mention that Kate Capshaw was smoking hot in it, although rather annoying. Molaram as a villain can't be topped by Beloq, Toht, or Donovan.
