- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsTom CruiseDakota FanningTim RobbinsAn alien invasion threatens the future of humanity. The catastrophic nightmare is depicted through the eyes of one American family fighting for survival.The foghorn noises, the river of corpses...and more. So much better than the original, and that was pretty good.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.The original black and white, with the vegetable alien was good in its day, but the Carpenter version was a triumph
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJeff GoldblumGeena DavisJohn GetzA brilliant but eccentric scientist begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong.Probably the only film where Goldblum was OK
- DirectorSergio LeoneStarsClint EastwoodGian Maria VolontèMarianne KochA wandering gunfighter plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge.Clint Eastwood, 'nuff said
- DirectorFrancis LawrenceStarsWill SmithAlice BragaCharlie TahanYears after a plague kills most of humanity and transforms the rest into monsters, the sole survivor in New York City struggles valiantly to find a cure.Now, I have all 4 versions on DVD. Don't argue...
- DirectorPeter JacksonStarsNaomi WattsJack BlackAdrien BrodyA greedy film producer assembles a team of moviemakers and sets out for the infamous Skull Island, where they find more than just cannibalistic natives.What ever happened to Fay Wray, that beautiful satin draped frame...
As it clung to her thigh...
Even Jack Black was good. - DirectorLes MayfieldStarsRichard AttenboroughElizabeth PerkinsDylan McDermottA lawyer and a little girl must prove that a man claiming to be Santa Claus is the real thing.Mara Wilson, so adorable. Why are my own kids such gits?
- DirectorRichard BenjaminStarsTom HanksShelley LongAlexander GodunovA young couple struggles to repair a hopelessly dilapidated house.Bittersweet and I just loved Alexander Godunov's character. A refreshingly honest swine..
- DirectorJosef RusnakStarsCraig BierkoGretchen MolArmin Mueller-StahlA computer scientist running a virtual reality simulation of 1937 becomes the primary suspect when his colleague and mentor is murdered.What a brilliant movie, better than the original German movie, in German by virtue of it being in English.
