Released in 2006, this family adventure-comedy introduces us to Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), a dreamer who can’t seem to hold down a job or keep his son’s respect. Desperate, he takes the night watchman position at New York’s Museum of Natural History, expecting quiet hours of boredom. Instead, he gets an ancient curse: at sunset, every diorama, wax figure, and fossil springs to life.

★★★★☆ (4/5 – A timeless family rewatch)
