  1. Diamond Ring:

This is one of the oldest movies that remain unforgettable in the minds of everyone. Released in 1998, the plot was of a diamond ring stolen from a dead woman. This became the bone of contention as the ghost of the woman haunted and terrorized the thieves. Diamond ring is remembered fondly as the movie that gave most 90’s kids nightmares for months to come.

IMDB Rating: 9.6

 

  1. Gold Statue:

Though there was no rating for this movie, it seems almost unfair for it not to appear on this list. Starring RMD, Sola Sobowale, Gabriel Afolayan, and Kunle Remi as the main casts, this movie was a joy to watch as it shows us how quickly African parents can jump into conclusions, albeit a reasonable one with the evidence provided. RMD portrays the father of a child who got the best of everything and seemingly gets locked up in jail after committing some offences. Gold Statue shows the effects of a misbehaving child on a happy couple.
