I don't mean to sound pissy, but I prefer original movies, not crappy remakes. If anyone can name a single remake that was better than the original, I'm all ears, but I can't think of any at this time. The only acceptable way to steal an idea for a movie is make a movie from a book. Even the American versions of other countries movies are lame. Like all those horror movies that came out like The Grudge and The Ring. Both of those were remakes of original Japanese remakes. It's kind of sad how much money can be made off of Americans by dumbing down a film just so people don't have to read subtitles. Oh well. Anyway, there are a TON of movies that I haven't seen, and I I've caught up on a LOT of classics from recomendations online.

Some examples:
Full Metal Jacket
Apocalypse Now
Heat
Sexy Beast
Revolver
Rock n Rolla

I bolded my two favorites on there.

I recently started a thread on some other boards asking people to list their top ten animes and have watched about 8 new movies I had never previously seen before. At least 5 of them turned out to be really great. I'm going to put Red Dawn on my "Netflix que" and watch it this week.
