6. The Mummy (1999)
Turning the slowly stumbling carcass from the 1932 and 1959 originals into a super-powered CGI sorcerer of the ‘90s is a great idea. The action/adventure kicks ass, with hero Brendan Fraser and damsel Rachel Weisz in the lead, but still has plenty of creepy bugs and scary decomposed warriors to keep us on the edge of our seats. Too bad the sequels totally blow the momentum.
