The updated version with Catherine Zeta-Jones was an offense to cinema and all who love it.

Yeah, seriously. "I'm wearing Prada. Milan, of course, not New York."

*gag*

An infinite monkeys could produce the works of William Shakespeare. The remake of "The Haunting" needed a lot more monkeys.

I could care less about it coming out because I've never heard of the movie and don't like that genre anyways.

However, I do care that you care.

Anything, I watch anything that looks interesting.

I do love a good suspenseful thriller, I remember watching rear window with my father for the first time and clinging onto the sides of my chair, I think I was around 24 at the time.

I also adore old black and white movies, horrors, drama, war.

A small list of gems on any genre would be brilliant.

Ta!!!

Thanks for telling me! I had no idea there was an original version. I'm trying to get my parents to order me one now!

Ok, here's a forgotten gem of a movie with a really bad title:

Curse of the Demon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...s=dvd&n=507846)

Awesome film.

Have you seen "Strictly Ballroom" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...v=glance&s=dvd) or "Truly Madly Deeply" (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/AS...153913-9185514)? I can't recommend either highly enough to do them justice.

Oh, you could care less, which means that you do care. Because if you didn't care, you couldn't possibly care less, but because you can you do.

Aw cheers Jeff, I so fancy that horror film, I see the reviews mentioned "The devil rides out" that was such a classic, I loved that film. I'll check out the UK site and see if I can buy it there.

I haven't seen "Truly Madly Deeply" yet it looks good though but I have seen "Strictly Ballroom" and I agree it's a fantastic movie, well I loved it anyways.

Another Aussie movie I loved was "Muriels Wedding" absolutely brill.

Anytime you can think of more, gimme a shout!!

Ok, if you haven't already seen "Amelie" and "City of Lost Children", do so as soon as possible. Two modern-day(-ish) faerie tales by a true visionary director.

(Of course the same director made the truly awful "Alien Ressurection", but nobody's perfect.

If infinate monkeys given an infinite amount of time = Hamlet

Then

10 monkeys, 10 minutes = "The Haunting" remake.
