Movies that feel likeThe Mummy (1999)
If you loved The Mummy, the closest films we have are Highlander (1986), Conan the Barbarian (1982) and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (2006). All three share The Mummy's epic and kinetic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021).

An ancient curse colliding with the modern day, swords first
The difference: Synth-scored 80s oddity — gloriously dated in every frame

Sword-swinging vengeance across a mythic ancient world
The difference: Brutal and humorless — Milius means every solemn word

Cursed crews and supernatural debts on a rollicking scale
The difference: Busier plotting — three films' worth of threads to track

The same mix in both: scale, then momentum

Dreamlike adventure in both cases
The difference: Critics rated this one higher still

Action built on scale, twice over

Desert adventure, ancient magic and a bickering couple
The difference: Video-game solemnity creeps in — the pulp joy is thinner

Same universe of sand, swords and ancient vengeance
The difference: Muscle-first prequel — quips and romance mostly cut

Ancient destruction awakened to scour the modern world
The difference: Grim ash-grey apocalypse — the fun is deliberately burned off

Egyptian gods and monsters at full CGI blast
The difference: All spectacle, no Rick and Evie — nobody worth rooting for

A globe-trotting raid on tombs, relics and lost time
The difference: A cooler, blanker hero — style without the warmth

Mortals against mythic monsters on a god-sized stage
The difference: Charmless remake grind — the adventure feels like homework
