Let The Right One In!
The original movie was so fantastic. I assume the American remake ... wasn't.
Similar story with The Vanishing.
(I'm an American, fwiw)
Life Stinks
The Producers (new one, I haven't watched original)
Pan's Labyrinth - talks about serious issues but adds a fairy tale to shield audience
You Don't Mess with the Zohan - Adam Sandler movie, more silly than usual, but also takes on Middle East conflict with a positive (perhaps American) spin.
Fight Club ... deals with boredom of your average no-direction man, and how he finds a way to occupy himself.
(M) The Vanishing - from 80's not the American version (didn't see American version) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096163/combined
Overall I like silly movies, I'd list 5 Adam Sandler movies, and add 'The Animal' to them, and watch them any day of the week.
"Pro quality" TV series? You mean like "CSI: Miami"? Or "Gilligan's Island"? Or do you mean movies like "The Smurfs" or the US version of "The Vanishing" or "Leave it To Beaver"?
Yes, I'd gladly do without all that TV and all the movies, and most or all of the books. Oh, and the popular music. Especially the music by Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato and Ashlee Simpson.
