The Mummy is a masterpiece and should not be a "guilty pleasure."

Sahara is absolutely a guilty pleasure.

The Mummy is one of those movies I watch whenever I see it on. Saw Sahara once and thought it was good but the Mummy is way better IMO.

Sahara has always been a guilty pleasure. Everything that happens in that movie is retarded, and I love it.

Also peak Penelope Cruz..

It’s a shame Hollywood never really did a decent Dirk Pitt franchise.

agreed - the books in which he is the character are generally pretty good - it could have been a franchise

Cussler is one of my favorite authors, but the studios always want to change too much from the books.

The quality has fallen off considerably since his son started writing them.

I always thought the Oregon Files would have made a good popcorn franchise with The Rock as Cabrillo, the protagonist. Shame it'll never happen.
