Add Carpenter's "The Thing" to my list :D

I had some guy tell me "in-game" once that I was an idiot when I told him that Marshall Dillon was the alien "Carrot Man" in the original. :D

"What is it with you and all these negative waves?"  Classic line!

My favorite is of course, Star Wars (A New Hope.)

All three Fellowship of the Rings Movies.  "Return Of The King" was the best!

"Starship Troopers"  Was way better than the book!

Do you think a remake of Kellys Hero's could ever pull off the greatness of the original?

Nope.  I was in Junior High when it came out, and a WW2 history junkie even then.  I was amazed that they even tried to make those "Tigers" look like an actual Tiger.  Sure they were T34/85s underneath but they looked the part.   The US guys looked worn and tired as opposed to Patton where everyone looked like they hadn't seen a second of combat.  I don't know what you could do to improve on the original.  How would you replace any of the characters with better actors?  Oddball, Kelly, Crap Game, Big Joe, Moriarity....Jeez what a great movie.

All those burning bridges......

There are WAY too many but one oldie that never lets me down is The Jerk.  Classic lines:

"Mom, Dad, I've got rythm"
"I've got a special purpose!"
"Someones shooting at those cans"
"Ahhh... it's a profit deal"

And of course, who can forget the touching love balad "I'm picking out a thermous for you".
