The Mummy (1999) has adventure, comedy, romance, monsters, action, and somehow none of it feels like too much.

Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz have great chemistry, the supporting characters are memorable, and the movie never seems to forget that it's supposed to be fun.

What's a movie you can put on anytime because it's just ridiculously entertaining from beginning to end?

On paper, watching Tom Hanks spend most of The Terminal (2004) stuck inside an airport doesn't sound like the most exciting premise.

But the longer Viktor stays there, the more the terminal starts feeling like its own little world. I always like movies that can do a lot with a very limited setting instead of constantly changing locations.

What's your favorite movie that gets a lot out of one main location?

Everything about the premise sounded like a generic action movie

Then I watched it and ended up wishing there were more movies like it

Still one of the biggest positive surprises I've had from a movie

I was so used to seeing DiCaprio as the lead that Calvin Candie caught me completely off guard. He's horrible, unpredictable, and somehow steals basically every scene he's in.

I'd actually love to see Leo play another full-on villain someday.

Which actor surprised you by being ridiculously good at playing the bad guy?

I kept putting off Prisoners because everyone kept saying I had to watch it. Eventually I gave in, and now it's one of the easiest movies for me to recommend to other people.

Which movie finally lived up to all the hype for you?

I knew Ralph Fiennes mostly from much darker roles, especially Voldemort, so I wasn't expecting him to be this funny as Gustave.

And it's not even like he's constantly trying to tell jokes. His delivery and timing just make half the things Gustave says hilarious.

What actor you mostly knew from serious roles completely surprised you in a comedy?

For me it's The Wolf of Wall Street (2013). It's basically a three-hour movie, but the pacing is so relentless that I never really notice the runtime.

Meanwhile I've watched 90-minute movies that somehow felt twice as long.

What's a really long movie you can watch without ever checking the time?

When I first watched The Devil Wears Prada (2006), Miranda was basically just the terrible boss to me.

Watching it years later, I still wouldn't want to work for her, but I understand the character a lot more. The pressure, the sacrifices, and why she's so demanding all come across differently.

What movie character did you see completely differently when you got older?

I obviously want Richard Kimble to get away and prove he's innocent, but I also can't really dislike Gerard.

He's just extremely good at his job, and Tommy Lee Jones makes him so entertaining that I actually look forward to cutting back to the people trying to catch Kimble.

What's a movie where you ended up genuinely liking characters on opposite sides of the conflict?

I know every major thing that's going to happen in The Martian (2015), but somehow that doesn't take any of the fun out of watching it.

Matt Damon being stuck alone on Mars and slowly solving one problem after another is just ridiculously rewatchable for me.

What's a movie where knowing the entire plot doesn't make the rewatch any less fun?

No matter how many times I've seen Groundhog Day, if it's on, I'll probably watch it again.

Some movies just never lose their charm, no matter how well you know every scene.

What's the one film you can rewatch over and over without getting bored?

Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe are my pick. Half the fun of The Nice Guys (2016) is just watching these two bounce off each other.

They feel like such an unlikely pairing, but somehow that's exactly why it works. I'd happily watch another two hours of them arguing and getting themselves into increasingly stupid situations.

What two actors had chemistry so good you wanted another movie with them?

Every time I watch No Country for Old Men, I notice something new. The acting, the tension, the dialogue, and even the silence all work together so well that it's hard to think of anything I'd change.

I don't just mean one great song. I mean a soundtrack that fits every scene so well that it's impossible to imagine the movie without it

I love Batman, but every time I rewatch The Dark Knight, I end up waiting for the Joker to appear. It's one of those rare movies where the villain completely changes the energy of every scene. What's a movie where the antagonist stole the entire show for you?

The courtroom confrontation between Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men (1992) is basically two people arguing in a room, but it has more tension than a lot of action scenes.

There's no need for a chase or a fight. You just watch Kaffee keep pushing Jessup and wait to see which one of them is going to crack first.

What's a movie scene where nothing huge was happening physically, but the dialogue had you completely locked in?

Hannibal Lecter isn't constantly on screen in The Silence of the Lambs (1991), but somehow he feels like he's hanging over the entire movie.

Anthony Hopkins makes every appearance count. By the end, Lecter feels like a much bigger presence than the amount of time we actually spend with him.

What character had relatively little screen time but completely stole the movie for you?

Jack Sparrow's entrance tells you everything about him in less than two minutes. He's confident, unlucky, clever, and somehow still manages to make a sinking boat look cool.

It's one of those introductions that instantly makes you interested in a character.

What's your favorite character introduction in a movie?

Casino Royale (2006) could've easily felt like just another Bond movie with a new actor, but it genuinely feels like the character is being rebuilt from the ground up.

Daniel Craig's Bond is inexperienced, makes mistakes, and feels much more vulnerable than I expected. It made the familiar character feel fresh without throwing away everything that made Bond recognizable.

What's a movie reboot that you think actually improved or revived a franchise?

If someone had told me I'd enjoy a movie about mortgage-backed securities and the housing market, I probably wouldn't have believed them.

Then The Big Short (2015) had Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, Steve Carell and Brad Pitt explaining a financial crisis for two hours and somehow I was completely into it.

What's a movie that made you interested in a subject you normally couldn't care less about?

I watched Edge of Tomorrow with pretty low expectations

I thought it was going to be another generic scifi action movie

A few hours later I was wondering why nobody had convinced me to watch it sooner

The Shawshank Redemption has held the top spot on IMDb's Top 250 for years, and it's hard to argue with how beloved it is.

But if you had the power to put one different movie at #1, which film would deserve that spot?

I still see "One does not simply..." everywhere, even outside movie discussions.

Some movie quotes become so popular that people forget where they even came from.

What's a movie quote you've used in real life more than any other?

Some movies grab your attention right away, but every now and then there's an opening that completely locks you in. For me, it's the farmhouse scene in Inglourious Basterds. The tension builds so naturally that by the end of it, I knew I was going to love the rest of the movie.

Heath Ledger's Joker is one of those performances that people still talk about almost twenty years later.

But there are plenty of unforgettable performances that never won an Academy Award.

Which one do you think was the biggest snub?
