      The original robbers, as well as the nazi surfers (with Andy Kaidis) were perfect for the film along with Bodhi's spirituality.

    For me. The 90's American Godzilla version is something I've always secretly appreciated.

    Buy because it was the FIRST TIME I ever saw Godzilla.
    I was far too young to know who "Gojira" was and never found out Godzilla was a "rip off" until I got older.
    With no access to internet (90's) or any eastern culture influence, this was it for me. My first look into monster movies.

      The original Godzilla was a very dark movie. It wasn’t the whacky, campy, fun adventure film that many of the other Godzilla movies in the franchise ended up being (which is what I think Godzilla 1998 was trying to emulate).
      The original Pink Panther movie was, in my opinion, overrated. I found The sequels to be a lot funnier. I didn’t see the remake, so I’m not sure how well Steve Martin did in recreating the humour of the original (or better yet, the sequels). I’d have to see it for myself before I can truly compare them.

    I didn't even know they remade Jacob's Ladder; why would they even try that. The first movie is perfect. Did producers say, "Hey, let's take this perfect film and make a really shoddy imitation of it!" "Manchurian Candidate" and "Wicker Man" and "The Day The Earth Stood Still" and "Rollerball" and "Psycho" are also untouchable films really.

    The movies that stuck out was Total Recall, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Pink Panther. I was a young adult in the 90s, but do remember there were some hot movies out in that decade (I mainly watched on VHS either alone, with a group of friends, family, etc... and did not see any of the great movies in theatre but they were so good you didn't mind watching it on the old CRT-TV). Total Recall (1990) was amazing and total white nuckle sci-fi action feeling , almost from beginning to end, and I re-watched it lots of times, whereas the 2012 version, despite watching it in cinema in 2012 when it was out, felt too anemic in comparison to that. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is a movie that I re-watch now and again because there are so many modern parallels to it, despite the difference of decades, that it still comes across as a great movie (rather than a weak 70s movie that's has more period specific and therefore has more interesting time-capsule effects than story), whereas I forgot about the Invasion (2007), again too anemic compared to the 1978 version. As for Pink Panther, I'd say Peter Sellers is perfectly cast on that role. Steve Martin doesn't seem compatible enough for the role or feels like that goofy inspector. It's just not the same. The rest of the selection, I couldn't care about, but those stood out with me.

It was fun, has incredible production design, and amazing action. The remake of CLASH OF THE TITANS has bad 3-D, but that was only one of the few flaws of the film. Aside from that... this remake had Hades, amazing actors, badass action, incredible visual effects, and a dark tone.

    I am a huge fan of the original Freddy Krueger, one of my favorite horror series. However, I disagree that the remake was bad. I rather like the darker take on the story, leaving out the campy humor.

    I genuinely thought the original Red Dawn was an R rated movie. You learn something new every day

      If I recall correctly, the PG13 rating was created for this movie, as the director didn't want to make too many cuts, but made just enough to avoid an "18" rating.

    Clash of the Titans (Remake) felt like an unfinished movie that was rushed together after having its budget slashed.

      Bless his heart. Casting him was the last saving grace for these movies, I can't imagine how atrocious they'd have been without him.

    If you ignore the fact that the new Total Recall is supposed to be a remake of the original Total Recall, it's actually not a bad little action film on it's own. The "remake" part is obviously horrible though and is nothing like the original.

      Agreed. If it was it´s own sci-fi thriller slash mystery, it´d be quite good. Actually, the only change it needed was to move it from the Earth to some random planet or moon in the galaxy. Then it´d be quite believable as well. Taking place on Earth - that was a crap move, lol. Even Mars would´ve been better. :)
