13 Assassins (2010)
Vanilla Sky (remake of Abre Los Ojos)
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
King Kong (2005)
Ocean's 11 (2001)

And I consider Sorcerer about on par with Wages of Fear.

I never knew Vanilla Sky was a remake...doesn't change the fact that I don't understand the movie at all...maybe watching the original would help.

"Heaven Can Wait" was better than "Here Comes Mr. Jordan," but I like them both.
Hopefully Redwell was just kidding about "The Force Awakens." I get the comparisons to "A New Hope," and I liked TFA well enough, but I don't think it was the better of the two.
I guess most people know, but "Airplane!" was a parody of "Zero Hour" and the Airport movies. If you watch the extras on the "Airplane!" DVD, they do show a scene that was copied entirely from "Zero Hour."

Okay
