Sphinx (1981)
Tourist finds romance, lost tombs and danger in land of the ancients

This under-appreciated movie deserves to be better known. The filming is beautiful and Frank Langella's performance is mesmerizing - reminding me of his soulful and darkly troubled Dracula. It starts off slowly, but the story quickly begins rolling as the mysteries pile up, and Erica is drawn into investigating them. I am a big fan of Ancient Egypt, Egyptology and Archeology. This is in no way a documentary, but it perfectly captures and evokes the mystery and beauty of Ancient Egypt and the excitement of hidden treasures - it's certainly more than entertaining enough and has some interesting twists. Definitely worth watching if you get the chance!
