The Mummy. 1999.

The 1930s Mummy with Boris Karloff was a thing of horror and then Hammer decided to do their version with Christopher Lee that was a nice little touch to the screen then universal decided to do a remake with a bigger budget. Although this isn't a masterpiece and relies on CGI that actually does work well.

Arnold Vosloo steps in as the Pharoh's priest Imhotep that is stupidly resurrected by Rachel Weisz in the desert after finding his sarcophagus and his rotten skeleton. Brendan Fraser plays the Foreign Legion soldier who helps Rachel and brother John Hanna to find the lost city and treasure along the other treasure seekers. There isn't much horror in this except seeing a few rotten skeletons, some good comedy and laughs, but certainly better than the Tom Cruise version.
