The Mummy (1999) - Outstanding entertainment, good story, besides plagues and death, a humor quotient for good ole family entertainment! My grandson loved this as a kid. 😊

Lair of the White Worm (1988)
A Ken Russell film so be prepared. A very English take on horror & dark humour with a good splash of sauce😉

Good and emotional
I loved this movie, don’t know why it was not a huge hit when released, though.
The Mummy Returns (2001)- excellent sequel! @obeygiant I agree with you, gorgeous and young. 
…unlike the Tom Cruise 2017 abomination.

Top Gun (1986)
Still a fun watch and the better of the two films having a great ensemble cast, fair storyline and a killer OST. As a whole the 86-film captured vibe of the times.
While the 2022 film (Top Gun: Maverick) was a breath of fresh air in a very stagnant industry (that mostly remains to be so) it was very much a typical copy & paste Tom Cruise vehicle... Credit where credit is due with his insistence on live action versus all too often used and overly relied on CGI.

The Dark and the Wicked (2020)
On a secluded farm in a nondescript rural town, a man is slowly dying. His family gathers to mourn, and soon a darkness grows, marked by waking nightmares and a growing sense that something evil is taking over the family.
Beautifully shot indie film that will unnerve some as the story unravels. The tension builds slowly with a brooding and gradually escalating atmosphere that crawls under the skin. The Dark and the Wicked lives up to its title being a disquieting nightmare with a deep sense of foreboding...

Loved this one! The story behind the making of Psycho.
It was based on the book by Stephen Rebello, Alfred Hitchcock and the Making of Psycho

wow.
As much as I like them, I really think from what I've seen in this documentary they were sh*t live. At least at first.
The live version of Dazed and Confused just past the halfway mark was pretty cool though.... the violin bow got to be a bit too much.... and then it goes off the rails.... IMHO. Maybe I should be on the same drugs as they were to watch this?

"Letters to Juliet" - A chick-flick I found on one of my streaming platforms about a young girl who wrote a letter to her boyfriend 50 years prior and it is found and answered by a young writer who then travels with the woman and her grandson to find the boyfriend (man)...the girl falls in love with the grandson even though she's engaged to someone else and of course the woman finds her man fifty years later and the girl and grandson get together in the end. All very predictable, but I've been ill and was just looking for something to kill the time. I can't in good conscience recommend this movie although it wasn't TERRIBLE! 🤣
Thank you, Pachy...I am feeling much better today.
Watched the live-action Initial D movie...
Now watching The World's Fastest Indian...
EDIT TO ADD:
Man, I don't know why I had not watched The World's Fastest Indian sooner, it was a great movie, really warmed this old heart...!

Just binging a bunch of movies here; I've seen this one before, but still think it's a fun ride...!
For those who might feel like watching, when Wax tells his driver to "get me on the bridge", that dude totally understood the assignment...

Neighbor blasting music at 11:30 P.M 😡 watching some movie
Both of the movies you listed are fantastic. I love Wes Anderson. If you have not seen the others here are must watch Wes Anderson movies. Rushmore, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited, Fantastic Mr. Fox, Moonrise Kingdom, and The Phoenician Scheme. I left out Asteroid City, The French Dispatch and Isle of Dogs. Stylistically good, but not a fan of the stories and no characters I actually connected with or cared about.
I just watched in the theatre 28 Years Later. If you like the original this is a worthy sequel. Great story and setting. Cast is good, visuals and audio are fantastic. This is the first of a trilogy from what I have read. Next one is out in January.
