Sir Joseph Whemple: "What's the matter, man? For heaven's sake, what is it?"
Ralph Norton: "He went for a little walk! You should have seen his face!"
The first of our Universal monster films to not be directly based on a piece of literature, The Mummy is another justifiably classic film from the Universal catalog of the thirties.

The Mummy
by
Mark Greig
"You better think of something fast, because, if he turns me into a mummy, you're the first one I'm coming after."
The Mummy, a (very) loose remake of the classic Boris Karloff horror film of the same name, was released 20 years ago today. To mark the occasion I've decided to a look back at this classic adventure film and explain why it remains my favourite blockbuster of 1999. Yes, I actually rate it higher than The Matrix. Look, it's great an' all, but does it have a scene where Neo scares away Agent Smith with a cat?
No, it does not, and that's why The Mummy will always be better.
