Cult fantasy movie which kind of flopped on its initial release but spawned a franchise which seemed to go on forever (and may not in fact be completely defunct). Scottish highlander (played by a Frenchman) discovers he is immortal; is mentored by ancient Egyptian immortal (played by a Scotsman); must do battle with rival Russian immortal (played by an American) to decide the destiny of the world.

Pretty much as goofy as it sounds, but very likeable - strives for a sort of mythic grandeur, doesn't quite manage it. None of the battles in the story are quite as brutal as the one between Christopher Lambert and the English language, but Sean Connery is having fun; some decent fight choreography too. Benefits immensely from the Queen soundtrack.

An almost perfect adaptation of an escape room
My friends and I love these mini escape rooms. They have a ton of different puzzles that really do require thinking outside of the box. Be prepared to destroy the components so it cannot be reused. I will often recycle my favorite puzzles in my D&D campaigns spread out over different sessions (exploring a Egyptian tomb, spooky cabin in the woods, tropical beach or a science lab are perfect campaign themes). Some puzzles are much harder than others but there are hints for each clue. Some people might balk at using hints but that's their own issue. Pharaohs Tomb has been my favorite so far.

Boris Karloff
The Mummy- is spooky, horrorfying, excellent, creepy and more . Boris Karloff is terrorfying as Ardath Bey / Imhotep / The Mummy. He is so creepy in this film, you will have nightmares.

The Plot: A team of British archaeologists led by Sir Joseph Whemple (Arthur Byron) discover the mummified remains of the ancient Egyptian prince Imhotep (Boris Karloff), along with the legendary scroll of Thoth. When one of the archaeologists recites the scroll aloud, Imhotep returns to life, but escapes. Several years later, Imhotep has taken on the guise of a wealthy man, as he searches Egypt for his lost love, who he believes has been reincarnated as the lovely Helen Grosvenor (Zita Johann).

I would highly reccordmend this movie.
