Independance day: blowing up the mother ship disables the shields, no retarded hacking plot.
“From Here to Eternity” get rid of the Army-dictated “Captain Holmes must be forced out because he makes his soldiers enter the boxing competition”. Have him promoted to major as in the novel or even transferred out.
“Meet John Doe” Cooper should jump.
Sam Fuller’s “Forty guns” He wanted Barbara Stanwyck to be killed but the studio insisted that she only get winged. Go with the director’s vision.
Mel Gibson’s “The patriot” an 18th century South Carolina plantation owner has freed his slaves and hired them as wage earners. Really? How often did that happen?
“U571” we’ll ignore the ridiculous plot since it is a popcorn movie. But people in the Navy are supposed to be aghast because one of the crew speaks German?? How many millions of immigrants, children of, school students spoke German. Hitler’s own nephew, William Patrick Hitler, was a pharmacist’s mate in the Navy and Ernest “Putzi” Hangstengel’s son was in the Army Air Corps.
Snakes on a Plane: Turn it into an intentional comedy instead of an accidental one
Immortals: Fuck this movie, but get rid of the human element except for Hyperion. Theseus was completely unnecessary
Indiana Jones 4: I don’t really mind the nuking of the fridge, but I mind the aliens. No aliens. They can have the crystal skull, it can lead them to another civilization, but it should be based on religious myth and folklore instead of science fiction.
Dances With Wolves. Just when Dunbar gets comfortable with the Lakota and after he has taught them all the words to Kumbaya, his new buddies bring a Pawnee prisoner into camp and begin gleefully torturing him (as the Sioux were wont to do).
Yeah, OK, that would actually wreck the movie. But at least the moral complexity would be more honest.
