Red Dawn remake

[Irving]

I think I've seen more great movies than ones I've missed. Do we need to start a top ten thread so I can make my "To Watch" list a little longer? Also, it sounds like Red Dawn might be near as old, if not older than I am.

Here is what I have in que right now:

Red Dawn
Year One
Big Trouble Little China
Collateral
ConAir
Spirited Away
Public Enemies
Zombieland
Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder

Big Trouble In Little China? Wasn't bad when it came out (prolly bc I was 5yo) but other then Kim Cattrall I see no reason to watch it again.

I've seen it labeled as a "classic" a few times, so I picked it up.

My new thing is that I've decided to make a list of every book that I can ever remember reading. I put it in a Google Doc and so far I'm up to 124 or something, just from memory (and help from Wikipedia and Google). It helps to just look up an author, then look through their works to see which ones I've read. I've always known I've read a lot of Stephen King (17) and Dean Koontz(26) but was never sure exactly how many I've actually read. It is a fun and interesting thing to do. Brings back both memories of the books, and what you were doing when you read them (if you can remember).

THe only remake I can think of that is better than the original is Gone in 60 Seconds. The original, i own on DVD, and although there are lots of cool crashes, there isn't much of a plot.

You guys see some crappy movies. In relation to guy movies for this site:

Way of the Gun
Terminator
The Wild Bunch
Scarface
Saving Private Ryan
Robocop
Braveheart
Pork Chop Hill
God Father

I'd take "Taken" or a Bourne movie over anything on your list above.

The gayest I'll go is Starship Troopers.

"Patriot" was OK, but it seemed for a while like Mel was just looking for movies to kill English people.

Tsk, tsk. Much to learn these young ones

Ok... Heres my list of good movies. No particular order.

1. Terminator
2. Independance day
3. Alien
4. Heartbreak Ridge
5. Shawshank Redemption
6. Green Mile
7. Full Metal Jacket
8. Police Academy
9. The Naked Gun
10. Better Off Dead

Right now I'm waiting for Netflix to send Terminator Salvation. I hope its good.

[Irving]

Oh yeah, I still haven't seen Way of the Gun either.
Otherwise, I've seen most of both of those lists.

I wouldn't bother with year one. one of the worst movies jack black has made IMO. I thought it was horrible.

[Irving]

I haven't heard a lot of good things about it, but it's not like it cost me a lot* of money to check it out. I'm not expecting much. Those are just the movies I have immediately in que though.

I was really disappointed in Land of the Lost with Will Ferrell. I think i laughed about twice the entire movie.
