I hope you do get around to it. It's an important film for the groundbreaking special effects of the time, a great example of Spielberg's early work, cinematically beautiful, incredible cast, etc...etc... I think it loses out to some of theses other films because it's less edgy and more of a feelgood film.

2023-06-09 13:46:11 +0000 UTCNice suggestions, Robert. I echo "Whale Rider" and "The Commitments". Both great films near the top of my favorites list.

2023-06-06 02:12:55 +0000 UTCToo funny, as I've actually covered "Gimme Some Money" on stage. I was doing a gig at a Halloween party with some bluegrass band, and after our set was done the host declared an open stage to jam. Which was cool since it was more rock and funk and other styles more in my wheelhouse. But one that got the whole crowd singing along was when one of the guitarists busted out "Gimme Some Money" (which is a simple blues progression that the rest of us were able to pick up instantly.) The folks ate it up. Probably tied for the biggest crowd-pleaser of that night. Loved seeing them reunite as a folk band for "A Mighty Wind" as well.

2023-06-05 23:04:54 +0000 UTCLol! Big Bottom! I also like their early days tune, "Gimmie Some Money". Their songs are actually part of our play list here at our house. Despite the funny topics they sing about, the music is really good. I knew Christopher Guest did much of the writing for the music, but I only recently learned that Michael McKean helped write the music. Makes me like him even more than I already do.

2023-06-05 19:56:04 +0000 UTCSince Patty Estrada brought up foreign language films (and I piled on with a suggestion or two of my own), there are some nice foreign films in the English language that are worthy of the channels' time. A few topping my list (besides The Full Monty, which I regularly plug😁 ): Whale Rider (2002) - New Zealand - A lovely drama centered around a community of Māori people of New Zealand, and one of my all-time favorite girl-power movies. Bend It Like Beckham (2002) - United Kingdom - A story about a girl growing up in England who's traditional Indian parents don't understand or support her love of soccer. The Commitments (1991) - Ireland - a nice music driven film about a group of Irish folks who form a band doing classic American soul tunes.

2023-06-05 19:18:21 +0000 UTCSpinal Tap is an essential film for any fan of rock 'n roll. Plus I'm forever in their debt for giving me the solution to the question, "What do you do if you have a jam party for your musician friends, and three dudes show up with a bass guitar". "Big Bottom". That's what you do with 3 or more bass guitars in a band. Thank you, Spinal Tap.
Robert Greffey
2023-06-05 19:05:38 +0000 UTCGiant! What an epic story with such a young and stunning Elizabeth Taylor and probably the best work James Dean was to ever put on the screen.
Joanie Archetto
2023-06-05 18:47:07 +0000 UTCAdding this one extra from my previous list....for a truly entertaining comedy, try Spinal Tap. Mockumentary of a metal rock band.
Kristin D
2023-06-05 14:36:04 +0000 UTCHard choice, but I think you would like Jumanji most.

2023-06-05 13:57:07 +0000 UTCI watched a "10 things you didn't know about CE" and the guy said that there was supposed to be a sequel to CE, and ultimately Spielberg just couldn't do the sequel that was being considered, but instead he broke it into 2 different movies - ET and then Poltergeist. So I guess the sequel was supposed to be more of a horror flick than just sci-fi.
Kristin D
2023-06-05 12:33:28 +0000 UTCClue is fun, and it also has alternate endings. Labyrinth is good, and David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly are both excellent in it. Another dark fantasy by Jim Henson studios, that is equally or better than Labyrinth (IMO), is the Dark Crystal. Fantastic story and interesting resolution to the plot. And also The Neverending Story, and even the Last Unicorn. My husband and I traded movies last year, we watched some of my favorites and we watched some of his. Even though he's middle aged, he really enjoyed all the above mentioned, and said he'd watch them again. All 4 movies have a good lesson in this them, plus the cinematography and storytelling and a feast for the eyes and heart. Last Unicorn is animation, and beautifully done. All these movies are suitable for younger and older audiences, so your kids will love them too when they are a little older.
Kristin D
2023-06-05 12:29:52 +0000 UTCGreat list! “A Place In The Sun” “Gilda” and “Giant” are some of my favorites from the golden age of Hollywood.
Patty Estrada
2023-06-05 10:54:56 +0000 UTCI also have a suggestion, why not set the challenge to watch one film from before 1970. Classic Hollywood Gold! Here are a few ideas: Charade 1964 Miracle At Morgan’s Creek 1940 A Place in the Sun 1951 Gilda 1946 Pillow Talk 1959 Black Narcissus 1947 Picnic 1955 The Maltese Falcon 1940 Giant 1956 Doctor Zhivago 1965 Camille 1936 Palm Beach Story 1940 That’s 12 films that I think you will love. Cheers!

2023-06-05 06:03:29 +0000 UTCMy vote was for “Close Encounters”
Michael Smith
2023-06-05 05:59:51 +0000 UTCI forgot one of the greatest movies of all time. The Dirty Dozen!! It's just so Good! All star cast. Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Jim Brown, Donald Sutherland, Ernest Borgnine are just some of the stars!! It's an incredible movie .. action, humor, suspense, romance. It's got it all. Maybe for the 4th if not sooner!! ♥️♥️

2023-06-05 00:13:39 +0000 UTCDefinitely The Mummy, followed by The Mummy Returns (which is the only sequel The Mummy. Forget what IMDB tells you, there were NO OTHER SEQUELS to The Mummy.) Drama: Contact Erin Brockovich The Legend of Billie Jean (terrific theme song by Pat Benetar that you recently reacted to) Hidalgo Gorillas in the Mist Adventure: The Three Musketeers (1993) Suspense: Copycat The Pelican Brief The Client Disaster: Dante's Peak Titanic Romance: Return to Me The American President Musical: Hamilton Rent (Live on Broadway) Dreamgirls Chicago The Wiz (The version with Diana Ross and Michael Jackson) Comedy: Junior Fierce Creatures Ruthless People (Terrific theme song by Billie Joel that you HAVEN'T reacted to) To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar (Patrick Swayze and Wesley Snipes killing it as drag queens. Enough said.) Addams Family/Addams Family Values Other: Strange Days (sort of Cyberpunk?) Enjoy!
Singing Wordwright
2023-06-04 23:51:04 +0000 UTCnot only was it a tough watch, but Steven Spielberg had a difficult time making it the production was so much that it almost tore him apart he had to order videotapes of sitcoms to cheer him up he even got a phone call or two from Robin WIlliams as reinforcement his Jewish background and upbringing stayed with him throughout the shoot so... be sure to grab tissues
Karl Kraus
2023-06-04 23:45:23 +0000 UTCIt’s a great suspense/thriller from start to finish. Amber and Jay will love it, I’m sure.
Jeff Mills
2023-06-04 23:24:56 +0000 UTCPan's Labyrinth is super creepy but a fantastic film! There are a lot of fantastic foreign language films out there when you're ready to delve in. It's a genre I haven't suggested yet since there are still so many classics Amber and Jay still need to get through.
Tracy Geier
2023-06-04 23:02:34 +0000 UTCI had a difficult time choosing. To be fair they're all great so there's no losing this week. I chose 3rd kind just because I love Richard Dreyfuss. You need to go down that rabbit hole! Mr. Holland's Opus, the Goodbye Girl, win the academy award, and Always are my Richard favorites. But to be honest they all are.
Karen Silvera
2023-06-04 22:51:05 +0000 UTCAnother good one requiring subtitles for us 'Mericans is the German film "The Lives of Others". Or perhaps the Japanese film "Shall We Dance", which was rather charming.
Robert Greffey
2023-06-04 22:45:42 +0000 UTCDuel! I haven't seen that one in years. I still remember what a great film that was.
Karen Silvera
2023-06-04 22:41:45 +0000 UTCOther Films by Genre Western: "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" (1962) and "The Searchers" (1956) Thriller: "Charade" (1963) and "Hush, Hush, Sweet Charlotte" (1964) Military: "A Few Good Men" (1992) and "Patton" (1970) Musical: "Singing in the Rain" (1952) or "Guys and Dolls" (1955) Rom-Com "Return to Me" (2000) and "An Affair to Remember" (1957) Comedy" "A Night at the Opera" (1935) and "The Sting" (1973) Sports: "Brian's Song" (1971) or "The Natural" (1984) Family: "The Kid" (2000) or "Pollyanna" (1960) Satire: "A Knight's Tale" (2001) or "SpaceBalls" (1987) Drama: "Philadelphia"(1993) or "Ben Hur" (1959)
Carolyn Phelan
2023-06-04 21:53:32 +0000 UTCClose Encounters tops my choice of these three.
Carolyn Phelan
2023-06-04 21:47:34 +0000 UTCWent with Close Encounters as that's my favorite in the poll. Great movie, but unfortunately it looks like it might not win. Oh well, always room for a future reaction. My suggestions: Sci-Fi: Bladerunner (Final Cut Version) Gattaca Vesper Dune (2021) Edge of Tomorrow Drama: Spotlight Good Will Hunting Dead Poets Society A Beautiful Mind Amadeus Action: Extraction Gladiator Outlaw King Top Gun: Maverick The French Connection War: 1917 Dunkirk The Outpost 12 Strong The Hurt Locker Sports: Hoosiers Ford vs Ferrari Rush The Fighter Foxcatcher Comedy: A Knight's Tale Red Hot Fuzz Galaxy Quest American Hustle Western: Hostiles Unforgiven Old Henry Silverado The Revenant Horror: The Witch (also stylized as The VVitch) Overlord Hereditary Doctor Sleep (sequel to The Shining) Devil's Advocate
Troy
2023-06-04 21:46:41 +0000 UTCI voted “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. In a way, it’s an unofficial prequel to “E.T”. Another Spielberg movie I recommend is “Duel” (1971). It’s his first film and it’s basically “Jaws” with a truck instead of a shark. It’s also one of the first movies to feature road rage.
Jeff Mills
2023-06-04 21:36:42 +0000 UTCI put Hamilton in my suggestions as well. I watched it for a second time recently with the captions on just to catch all the clever lyrics. It’s genius.
Cheryl
2023-06-04 21:36:01 +0000 UTCI second “Philadelphia”
Patty Estrada
2023-06-04 21:31:48 +0000 UTCDune from 2021 would be an awesome reaction!
Troy
2023-06-04 21:29:46 +0000 UTCI chose Jumanji second would be the mummy and lastly first encounter. Robin William was a brilliant actor both in comedy and drama. Some of his most outstanding drama works in my opinion are Moscow on the Hudson, Awakenings, The fisher king, What dreams may come, and Good Will Hunting on the comedy side for me it’s Mrs Doubtfire, Hook, The birdcage, Jack, and Night at the museum.
I am Jussina
2023-06-04 21:27:42 +0000 UTCYeah, I think with Tina Turner recently passing away it's the right time to react to What's Love Got To Do With It.
Katie Jackson
2023-06-04 21:25:57 +0000 UTCAs the big fans of Star Wars that you guys are, I'd highly recommend Dune (2021). The source material was a novel written by Frank Herbert in 1965. The universe built for this series is so rich and interesting that it has influenced most modern sci-fi stories you see today! Its a bit deeper than George Lucas' more family friendly adventures, but an absolutely incredible film that I think both of you will love!
Andrew Wilks
2023-06-04 21:22:02 +0000 UTCC’mon Jay 🤞🏼
Patty Estrada
2023-06-04 21:21:53 +0000 UTCYes to all these epics suggested!
Patty Estrada
2023-06-04 21:20:22 +0000 UTCI'll say these two baseball movies again when you get back to sports: The Rookie, which has a premise similar to Rudy And the Natural, which has parallels to the Odyssey and you love literature
Karl Kraus
2023-06-04 21:20:00 +0000 UTCContact for some sci-fi drama, The Game for a psychological thriller. It's great if you like a film that keeps making you think, 'Wtf is going on here?'. Finally, I'd like to boost the movie Clue that someone else suggested. A movie based on a game that is actually good. *Edit* A movie that sort of shares a space with Jumanji and is quite fun, imo, is A Night at the Museum.
Brian
2023-06-04 21:16:19 +0000 UTCI’m also waiting for them to react to another Hitchcock movie. “Pleasantville” and “What’s Love Got To Do With It” are two that’s id like to watch their reaction to.
Patty Estrada
2023-06-04 21:15:01 +0000 UTCThe mummy is great. I think you guys would love it. As for my suggestions:
Brian
2023-06-04 21:11:42 +0000 UTCThe Mummy has great effects and I think it is even a ride at Universal Studios .Love Oscar winner Brandon Fraiser in this . The first three parts of the series are fantastic and gives you some history of Egypt. Action , and humor you both will enjoy.
Lisa Rhodes
2023-06-04 21:10:42 +0000 UTCComedies I suggest are: Back to School with Rodney Dangerfield, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steve Martin, and The Mask with Jim Carrey. A really good western I recommend: Unforgiven with Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman.
BlueEyedRaven
2023-06-04 21:08:02 +0000 UTCClose Encounters!! a phenomenal movie and Richard Dreyfuss ( Matt Hooper from JAWS) is Gold!! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance kid is one of the greatest movies ever made! Paul Neuman and Robert Redford in this classic Western! the thing about movies from the 50's 60's 70's ...the acting is superb, and its so much less about special effects, its raw Next, I would say Seargent York staring Gary Cooper, based on a true story! the Rock with Sean Connery Nicholas Cage about Alcatraz! or Perhaps Eye of the Needle! Primal Fear is another great one as well...Thanks for all y'all do.!!...Love you much xoxox
ali schmidt
2023-06-04 21:05:05 +0000 UTCIn this poll: All of them, but the Mummy first. Love Brendan. And here's my usual plea: Hamilton, please! It's not a traditional musical, but a blend of history with hip-hop with GENIUS writing and music and performances. It's so popular because it's fantastic - a six-times platinum, best-selling cast album of ALL time, ALL musicals ever. The performances are powerful, the rap battles are memorable, and the story is a testament to the defiance of youth against tyranny and a celebration of a nation of immigrants. Please please, one day!

Marie247Art
2023-06-04 20:52:03 +0000 UTCjust a few ideas for you two to watch for reaction 1. Bohemian Rhapsody - story of Queen 2. A Few Good Men - Military Court Case - Tom Cruise & Jack Nicholson 3. A Knight's Tale - Action | Comedy - Heath Ledger 4. Mr. and Mrs. Smith - Spy/comedy/action - Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie 5. Quigley Down Under - Western - Cowboy in Australia
JarHead0351
2023-06-04 20:50:59 +0000 UTCYou are exactly right it is a tough watch but so well done and something I pray we never allow to be forgotten. I wouldn’t want every movie I watched to be that heavy. But this is also something that cinema does very well shine a light and make a statement on difficult subject matter that folks would prefer often to just ignore
Geoff Thomas
2023-06-04 20:50:46 +0000 UTCSome movies I think you would enjoy: The Fugitive (Harrison Ford) - on the run for a crime he didn't commit, action/drama A Few Good Men (Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson) - military trial, drama Devil's Advocate (Keanu Reeves, Al Pacino) - a story about modern day Temptation, drama The Amigos (Steve Martin, Chevy Chase, Martin Short) - 3 down and out actors go to Mexico to perform for a local village being threatened by a local tyrant. Gladiator (Russell Crowe, Richard Harris, Joaquin Phoenix) - Strength and Honor! Story about a man and his role in saving Rome, action/drama The Martian (Matt Damon, Sean Bean) - One man's survival on Mars, sc-fi, drama Rear Window (Jimmy Stewart, Grace Kelly, 19602) - Hitchcock classic Contact (Jodi Foster, Mathew McConaughey) - first contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence

Michael Lynch
2023-06-04 20:45:40 +0000 UTCClose Encounters is great it has Richard Dreyfus which you have seen in Jaws,Stand by Me, and American Graffiti. I like the others as well. For adventure you should check out Mad Max and the Thunderdome,it has Mel Gibson and Tina Turner. Brendan Fraser also stars in the hilarious comedy fantasy Befazzled, my favorite Dreyfus film is Mr.Holland’s Opus (about the relationship between a music teacher his students and his family) A really good movie with a great story is Big Fish about a father and son and how though they see things differently come together somehow. Two true sports films you will both love, The Blind Side with Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw, and We are Marshall with Matthew McConaughey.
Elizabeth Franco
2023-06-04 20:45:00 +0000 UTCHitchcock is great! The Perks Of Being A Wallflower is a great teen drama. It almost feels like John Hughes wrote it and stars Emma Watson from Harry Potter. I was kinda going for a wide variety list of movies so I'm glad you liked the choices.
Katie Jackson
2023-06-04 20:44:40 +0000 UTCGreat suggestions. As educators and parents I think you both dig Mr.Hollands Opus. 9 to 5 a classic 80s comedy and Dolly Parton can’t beat that combo. If you’ve never seen Speed it’s a must in the action thrilller genre.
Geoff Thomas
2023-06-04 20:42:23 +0000 UTCNice list, covers juts about all genera's. I've never seen, The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. I'm patiently waiting for more Hitchcock
Christopher Puttre
2023-06-04 20:40:43 +0000 UTCTom Hanks and Denzel Washington did a movie called “Philadelphia”that’s incredible. Also a movie with a crazy soundtrack about a one hit wonder band “ That Thing You Do”. You’ll love the music. And speaking of music my last recommendation is the musical “ Hamilton”. Love all your reactions! ❤️
Cheryl
2023-06-04 20:38:55 +0000 UTCHope you get to the Hunger games series. I think you both would enjoy it.
Naturekitty5309
2023-06-04 20:34:59 +0000 UTCI love the idea of you too watching the mummy. Brendan Fraser was great in that movie. Jumanji should be next followed by Minority Report!
Trina Smith-Patterson
2023-06-04 20:33:50 +0000 UTCI suggested “Chinatown” as well! I think they’ll like the film noir genre.
Patty Estrada
2023-06-04 20:31:36 +0000 UTCIt's okay its not your fault its just there are many more action movies for you to see that will overwhelm the promise of critical darlings like Close Encounters usually, the action films tend to get more votes because I guess they'll help you stay awake, easier to get into CE takes time in that regard, since the story is deep But yeah, you'll get to it soon enough now, now that you've proclaimed it looks good to see on your own terms 😀
Karl Kraus
2023-06-04 20:31:13 +0000 UTCHave heard a lot about this Movie. After being to the National Holocaust museum I feel like this is a movie that needs to be seen but I am worried it will be a tough watch. But a topic like that should be tough right?
Jordan Robinson
2023-06-04 20:30:53 +0000 UTCI think we need a Leonardo DiCaprio poll, for Jordan.
Patty Estrada
2023-06-04 20:30:02 +0000 UTCThree great choices. I chose Close Encounters, as it is the Grandfather of Modern day Sci Fi alien movies, and was before Spielberg made ET. With these it's a mater of what you are in the mood for SciFi, Comedy, or Action Adventure Comedy. All 3 have great casts, so not going to even debate. No matter which one you won't be disappointed.
Christopher Puttre
2023-06-04 20:29:35 +0000 UTCSounds interesting! When I watch things alone I always turn on the captions so a foreign film would not bother me at all! I will run an idea like this past Jay!
Jordan Robinson
2023-06-04 20:27:08 +0000 UTCDon’t know if you’re interested in any Foreign Language Films (which are also great). If you are I really think you’ll like, “Pans Labyrinth”. Here’s a little description to draw you in… "Pan's Labyrinth is Alice in Wonderland for grown-ups, with the horrors of both reality and fantasy blended together into an extraordinary, spellbinding fable." It’s a Spanish movie BTW.
Patty Estrada
2023-06-04 20:25:27 +0000 UTCClose encounters looks so interesting! I didn’t realize the others were more popular. We will get to it one day out of pure interest I’m sure
Jordan Robinson
2023-06-04 20:23:31 +0000 UTCA strong true story that ALL reaction channels need to include
Karl Kraus
2023-06-04 20:23:06 +0000 UTCYou'll adore Troy
Karl Kraus
2023-06-04 20:22:00 +0000 UTCI actually just did a movie night with friends for the Mummy two nights ago! No matter how many times I've watched it over the years, it never gets old and never disappoints. They do need to delve into the genius that was Robin Williams entire book of work as he is one of the greatest, but Mummy has to win this round for me. Not the entire franchise, because only Mummy Returns is worth watching, but the original stands alone in entertainment greatness. Hopefully we'll also get some epic action features such as Braveheart, Gladiator, Spartacus, Ben Hur, and Troy. Summertime is great for those kinds of films!
Tracy Geier
2023-06-04 20:21:51 +0000 UTCGotta second Pleasantville. Also- *The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. *Mr. Holland's Opus. *12 Monkeys. *Underworld. *9 to 5. *Rocky 3. *Dante's Peak. *Double Jeopardy. *Sleeping With The Enemy. *What's Love Got To Do With It. *Speed. *Lethal Weapon
Katie Jackson
2023-06-04 20:21:35 +0000 UTCOnce again, you're putting close encounters in with movies that are more popular its not even fair I think this is the 4th time 😂😔you might as well give it a watch as a movie that's in-between franchises Watch it after you're done with star wars episode 9, right before you head into the Hobbit Now, the Mummy is an excellent hybrid of genres, adventure and horror a good classic from the 90s you'll love it in fact, it's a nice way to introduce you to Brendan Fraser, who also starred in a great 90s comedy classic, George of the Jungle, which is a movie I nearly wore out on VHS Mummy will definitely win here
Karl Kraus
2023-06-04 20:21:25 +0000 UTCI remember playing the Clue board game growing up so I definitely want to see the movie. Labrynth has been suggested a lot because of David Bowie, I realize I have often forgot about that one when picking movies or making a poll.
Jordan Robinson
2023-06-04 20:17:38 +0000 UTCYou’ll like all 3 for sure. Minority Report is one of my favorite sci-fi movies, and I think Amber would really like the premise of it.

2023-06-04 20:16:24 +0000 UTCThese are all great selections. I chose the mummy but would love all of these. You should also check out Clue and Labyrinth. Both great 80’s movies. One a great comedy mystery the other a dark fantasy with David Bowie in it.

2023-06-04 20:15:33 +0000 UTCA Few Good Men with Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise or I believe Jacks best Film a classic film noir Chinatown. Tom Cruise and Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man about an autistic man and his brother travelling cross country. Dustin Hoffman comedy classic Tootsie. Cant go wrong with more Tom Hanks a rom con Splash with Daryl Hannah and John Candy or an academy award winning drama Philadelphia with Denzel Washington. Finally if you’ve not seen it Training Day features Denzel as a Bad Guy

2023-06-04 20:13:58 +0000 UTCLove all these suggestions!!! Pleasantville, Troy and Minority Report stand out the most

2023-06-04 20:10:35 +0000 UTC“Edge Of Tomorrow” and “Minority Report” for Sci-Fi Action (both star Tom Cruise). “Little Miss Sunshine” is a dark comedy with great performances from the ensemble cast. Let’s not forget “Troy” for some Greek Mythology. A good easy to watch movie would be “Pleasantville”. Let’s get Jordan to watch a Leonardo DiCaprio movie, “Catch Me If You Can” based on a real life person (also stars Tom Hanks). A genre you haven’t really done would be film noir, “Chinatown” would be good for that. And as everyone has said, the masterpiece “Schindler’s List” is a must watch for anyone. My vote for this poll would be “The Mummy” love that movie.

2023-06-04 20:09:07 +0000 UTCIs "The Mummy" the best Brenden Fraiser movie ever? They tried to do a Universal Monster Movie Shared Universe a while back. This should've been the template.

2023-06-04 20:08:43 +0000 UTCI miss Robin Williams SO much! I'd also recommend Mrs. Doubtfire, which has some of his best work. I agree about Titanic, Amber and Jay, just be prepared to sit for a while.

2023-06-04 20:05:56 +0000 UTCJumanji is the best choice for sure but I also love The Mummy

2023-06-04 20:03:53 +0000 UTCYou should do a Julia Roberts movie, preferably Pretty Woman or Erin Brokovich.

2023-06-04 20:01:10 +0000 UTCJumanji please. I don’t think you’ve done any Robin Williams movies-and he is brilliant at both comedy and drama. You had mentioned that you had not watched a Leonardo de Caprio movie. When you reacted to “My Heart Will Go On” you mentioned you really liked the snippets of the movie so I would highly recommend Titanic.

2023-06-04 20:00:53 +0000 UTCI completely agree. A masterpiece that everyone should watch

2023-06-04 19:55:46 +0000 UTCThe Mummy is a pure masterpiece of action cinema!
Danny Sandoval
2023-06-04 19:55:42 +0000 UTCYes! I guess I should have put 1995 version
Jordan Robinson
2023-06-04 19:55:23 +0000 UTCThe Mummy is great. Basically Indiana Jones meets a horror film. Very fun franchise and a great Gateway into the horror genre for kids old enough to watch PG-13.

2023-06-04 19:54:54 +0000 UTCIs it the original jumanji?
