Coming to America (1988): Good plot idea – the first half of the film is stronger than the latter stages as it runs out of steam – but there are some good cameos to help things along.
Dawn of the Dead (2004): Although the Walking Dead as a sub–genre has been thrashed to death this one stands out from among the crowd.; DVD ~~$15~~ $11.25
Go Tell the Spartans (1978): A no glamour war film – the action sequences are well done – Burt Lancaster excellent.
Cop Out (2010): Every one tries really hard to make this funny.
Scooby-Doo (2002): The effects people do a really good job with Scooby Doo – who as a character is a winner.
36th Chamber of Shaolin, The (Master Killer) (1978)
Mountain Patrol (Kekexili) (2004): Unforgettable. One of the few examples that I can recall where a dramatisation has at least the same impact as a documentary. This one doesn't get sidetracked with friviolities but gets its message across in spades.
Stormbreaker (2006): Aka "Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker". Pettyfer struggles with the acting side of his role but the film has some interesting cameos spread throughout which help to compensate.
Dark Angel (1990): aka "I Come in Peace". Modest and now dated actioner. Michael J Pollard as a cameo.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011): The title says it all. I sympathise with the film makers in that it must be hard to find any nine year boy (autistic or not) who is not annoying.Sentimental plot. The film had a chance to finish twenty minutes earlier than it did.Goodman hardly appears.
