I understand that to save money Hollywood are to remake more films, but to save money they are going to make two films in one. The first two (or four) are to be:

Gone With The Wind In The Willows and the second The Great Escape From Alcatraz.

Can you think of any more?

David,

Great idea! I'd like to see Georgy Girl with the Dragon Tatoo.

When I worked at General Cinema in the early 1990's, my manager told me about the theater he worked at during Christmas in 1980. This title was on the marquee, "Altered States 9 to 5".
