The Mummy (1999)




I swear, I don't know what this trend is on genre classification on IMDb--this might well qualify as a rip-roaring "Action Adventure" flick--it certainly has loads of both, but the only other genre listed for it is "fantasy."  While there is nothing wrong, per se, in calling it fantasy....where the hell is the horror genre listing??? So many films, and some television shows [like "Buffy The Vampire Slayer"] steadfastly do not have "horror" listed for them.  It's ridiculous.  I understand why there is reluctance to list a film like Silence Of The Lambs as horror on a database, but films that have vampires, werewolves....mummies that walk around....please!  They have no trouble listing the original Boris Karloff film from 1932 as horror....so why not it's remake??  In any case, this was nominated for Best Sound in 2000.
