3. a deceased Robert Shaw is still a million times better then John Travolta.
and i'm sorry, i like Denzel but he had no business in Frank Sinatra's role in The Manchurian Candidate.

The original was fantastic and they should have left well enough alone.

4. When I'm in charge, I'm creating a ranking of every known actor/actress
and any movie starring an actor/actress in the top 100 will NOT allowed to be remade.

6. One of the best final lines in a movie.
"Blood Simple" is another one.
