    5th Element.

    One of, if not the best action flick of all time.

        Oh, if we’re doing more than just the movie…

        …the one TV season, sure, and the Dark Horse & BOOM! Comics, 8 novels, and a bit over half a dozen Board Games; including The Original, Adventures, 'Misbehavin, Fluxx and a few others as well.

        I have no difficulty admitting to be a little bit of a fan here.

    “Alien” (1979) still gets me every time I watch it. The slow build, the pops of horror, the delectable suspense of the Big Chap hunting. I know every scare, every moment of terror, every death by heart… but it still gets my circulatory system going. All other home invasion/haunted house movies can go home, Alien nailed it.

      I love all alien movies but I always fall asleep at the first one. Maybe I was too young and need faster movies.

      I think I should watch it again. Wasn’t there a remastered 4K version, lately?

      I just watched Hot Tub Time Machine for the first time the other day. The ending is incredibly messed up. They come back and stuff is different but they don’t have memory of the last 20 years? They just overwrote the new timeline versions of themselves. And Rob Corddry isn’t even sad about it, he’s basically like screw those guys that I’ve built my life around I got my messed up friends back.

      The rest of the movie is pretty good though.

      Sneakers is one where a remake might actually be welcomed. I adore the original but spycraft has changed so much. It’s a fascinating genre too. Probably my favorite.

      How have I not watched this for years? I used to have it on VHS and watched it so many times. Mainly because I was in love with River Phoenix and heartbroken when he died.
