    For me. The 90's American Godzilla version is something I've always secretly appreciated.
    Not because of the content though!
    Buy because it was the FIRST TIME I ever saw Godzilla.
    I was far too young to know who "Gojira" was and never found out Godzilla was a "rip off" until I got older.
    With no access to internet (90's) or any eastern culture influence, this was it for me. My first look into monster movies.
    Nowadays I see why people didn't like it, but for me, it's nostalgia.

      The original Godzilla was a very dark movie. It wasn’t the whacky, campy, fun adventure film that many of the other Godzilla movies in the franchise ended up being (which is what I think Godzilla 1998 was trying to emulate).
      The original Pink Panther movie was, in my opinion, overrated. I found The sequels to be a lot funnier. I didn’t see the remake, so I’m not sure how well Steve Martin did in recreating the humour of the original (or better yet, the sequels).

    Fun fact: the original actors (Veteran Godzilla actors Haruo Nakajima and Kenpachiro Satsuma, as well as Shusuke Kaneko) of the original 1954 Godzilla movie actually didn't like the movie. Nakajima even stated "its face looks like an iguana and its body and limbs look like a frog". Satsuma walked out of a screening of the film at fan convention G-Con '98 in Chicago, stating, "it's not Godzilla, it doesn't have his spirit".

    The movies that stuck out was Total Recall, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Pink Panther. I was a young adult in the 90s, but do remember there were some hot movies out in that decade (I mainly watched on VHS either alone, with a group of friends, family, etc... and did not see any of the great movies in theatre but they were so good you didn't mind watching it on the old CRT-TV). Total Recall (1990) was amazing and total white nuckle sci-fi action feeling , almost from beginning to end, and I re-watched it lots of times, whereas the 2012 version, despite watching it in cinema in 2012 when it was out, felt too anemic in comparison to that. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is a movie that I re-watch now and again because there are so many modern parallels to it, despite the difference of decades, that it still comes across as a great movie (rather than a weak 70s movie that's has more period specific and therefore has more interesting time-capsule effects than story), whereas I forgot about the Invasion (2007), again too anemic compared to the 1978 version. As for Pink Panther, I'd say Peter Sellers is perfectly cast on that role. Steve Martin doesn't seem compatible enough for the role or feels like that goofy inspector. It's just not the same. The rest of the selection, I couldn't care about, but those stood out with me.

    I consider "The Wolfman", "Clash of the Titans", and "The Day the Earth Stood Still" to all be guilty pleasure watching, regardless of what they made at the box office or how bad a remake they may have been.

      If I recall correctly, the PG13 rating was created for this movie, as the director didn't want to make too many cuts, but made just enough to avoid an "18" rating.

    I actually liked the 1998 version of GODZILLA even though the acting and most of the visuals don't age well. Also, I loved the hell out of the remakes of TOTAL RECALL and CLASH OF THE TITANS. So much more than their respective originals. The remake of TOTAL RECALL was never "boring" or "by-the-numbers" as WatchMojo described it. It was fun, has incredible production design, and amazing action. The remake of CLASH OF THE TITANS has bad 3-D, but that was only one of the few flaws of the film. Aside from that... this remake had Hades, amazing actors, badass action, incredible visual effects, and a dark tone.

      I certainly liked it better than those ludicrously campy Tojo kiddie flicks with actors in a ridiculous-looking rubber suit. The original 1954 film was a serious attempt at SF with a message, but it still suffered from a completely unbelievable "monster." At least Emmerich tried to make his Godzilla look like a real animal.

    If you ignore the fact that the new Total Recall is supposed to be a remake of the original Total Recall, it's actually not a bad little action film on it's own. The "remake" part is obviously horrible though and is nothing like the original.

      Agreed. If it was it´s own sci-fi thriller slash mystery, it´d be quite good. Actually, the only change it needed was to move it from the Earth to some random planet or moon in the galaxy. Then it´d be quite believable as well. Taking place on Earth - that was a crap move, lol. Even Mars would´ve been better. :)
