It is also interesting comparing the John Campbell short story "Who Goes There?" with the two "The Thing" movies that were based on it.
 
I've got over 150 movies on DVD. For the sake of brevity, and for reasons that'll clearer later I won't list them all.

If I like a movie well enough that if I see it on TV and want to see it again, or rent it and want to rent it again later, or download it and keep it on my harddrive to watch more than once, I'll just buy it.
 
Tears of the Sun,American History X,Saving Private Ryan,Enter the Dragon and Die Hard.Oh,yeah.How could I have forgotten Braveheart.

Something came down the pipes that you are a movie producer and I haven't heard of these movies...are they women who can command the strength and insight of themselves to get through and get along in life? A war movie where the women are left to take care of the ranch at home?
 
Cindy, ever see King of Hearts (Le Roi de Cour)? Has to be the ultimate chickflick, but with Genevieve Bujold in it, even I can't complain......
