Filmic influences...

Hi:
Just curious here...We all know the obvious direct film influences on the Indy movies (ie: Casablanca, Lost Horizon etc...) but has anyone else just "happened" upon some things that were obvious?
I ask this because last night I was watching `Casino Royale' and a scene occurred which was an obvious inspiration for the opening dance number in `Temple of Doom.' So, as it stands I've noticed the following:
1) Casino Royale - see above.
2) North by Northwest - influences too many to note, but of special mention, a scene IDENTICAL in composition to `Last Crusade' where Indy meets Donovan in his apartment.

Any more?
Cheers,
Sean
