Terrence Malick is the greatest filmmaker from the United States to ever do it. He explores what it means to be alive – the beauty and tragedy of it.

He is my favorite, and I will spend the rest of my life revisiting each and every one of his films time and time again.
The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns (2001) are two of the most purely enjoyable modern adventure films. Cribbing liberally from Indiana Jones, Stephen Sommers et co. created two great films for the whole family. Here are seven reasons why.

Elaine May got the chance to direct four films, and all four ranged from good to great to all-time classic. Hollywood repeatedly kept her in the dog house, and she did not (as of yet) direct another film after Ishtar in 1987. It’s criminal.
