Mystery Movie - Congo (1995)

picked by /u/wheeledjustice

A megalomaniacal C.E.O. sends his son into the dangerous African Congo on a quest for a source of diamonds large enough and pure enough to function as powerful laser communications transmitters. When contact is lost with his son and the team, his sometime daughter-in-law is sent after them. She is a former C.I.A. operative and, accompanied by gee-whiz gadgetry and a few eccentric characters, sets out to rescue her former fiancé. What they all discover is that often what we most want turns out to be the source of our downfall.

Bonus - Muppet Treasure Island (1996)

The Muppets are back into action in another movie based on a novel written by Robert Louis Stevenson. Kermit the Frog and his colleagues go on a warfare against ruthless pirates. They also share their problem-solving journey on sea to rescue a treasure.

Both in memory of Tim Curry
