Breaking Point? Point Break? One is a cult classic, the other is a pointless remake.

The Wickerman remake- it contains an unhealthy dose of Nicholas Cage. Bangkok Dangerous- for the same reason as above, plus a truly dreadful plot

Few things are improved by adding Nicholas Cage.

Adam who? Had to look him up first. Haven't seen any of the movies listed in his filmography, neither listened to the few records listed. Guess I agree with you on Adam Something or another. As for Blues Brothers 2000 indeed crappy storyline, but goooood music. I've seen the first lots, but still if it's on the telly will watch it again. Same as most James Bonds. Another will watch again and again for me is the mini series called Band of Brothers. Love it. here's the guys that the story was based on - great doco

Try reading the book
"BAND OF BROTHERS E Company, 506th Regiment, 101st Airborne From Normandy to Hitler's Eagle's Nest Stephen E. Ambrose"
"1 - 'WE WANTED THOSE WINGS'
CAMP TOCCOA July-December 1942
The men of Easy Company, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, U.S. Army, came from different backgrounds, different parts of the country. They were farmers and coal miners, mountain men and sons of the Deep South. Some were desperately poor, others from the middle class. One came from Harvard, one from Yale, a couple from UCLA. Only one was from the Old Army, only a few came from the National Guard or Reserves. They were citizen soldiers. They came together in the summer of 1942, by which time the Europeans had been at war for three years. By the late spring of 1944, they had become an elite company of airborne light infantry. Early on the morning of D-Day, in its first combat action, Easy captured and put out of action a German battery of four 105 mm cannon that were looking down on Utah Beach. The company led the way into Carentan, fought in Holland, held the perimeter at Bastogne, led the counteroffensive in the Battle of the Bulge, fought in the Rhineland campaign, and took Hitler's Eagle's Nest at Berchtesgaden. It had taken almost 150 percent casualties. At the peak of its effectiveness, in Holland in October 1944 and in the Ardennes in January 1945, it was as good a rifle company as there was in the world. The job completed, the company disbanded, the men went home."

Oh and another one, any of the 31 feature movies starring Elvis Presley. Elvis That's The Way It Is and Elvis On Tour get a pass, as these were documentaries and did not involve any acting. King creole might just squeeze past the blanket fail, but the rest...........
Don't get me wrong, I love rock & Roll, it was the gateway bringing black music to white audiences and therefore the birth of all branches of modern music. What Elvis did on stage and disc was an important evolution that bought us out of the beige era. However, an actor he was not.
