David Zucker has written and directed some of the biggest comedies of all time, including Airplane! and The Naked Gun.
John Frankenheimer's legendary 1962 political thriller, The Manchurian Candidate, is probably considered one of the greatest political thrillers ever made.
M. Night Shyamalan's The Sixth Sense is still revered as one of the greatest thriller classics of the modern era. It changed the way we view thriller films today.
In his follow-ups to his other-worldly The Sixth Sense, Shyamalan proposed a new way of looking at superheroes in Unbreakable and deduced alien invasions to paranoia in Signs.
M. Night Shyamalan, not unlike his films, is a bit of a Hollywood wonder. Breaking onto the scene with The Sixth Sense, he's quickly risen to the top of the list of directors whose films are highly anticipated by the North American and international movie-going public.
Back in the 1960s, puppeteer and sci-fi pioneer Gerry Anderson created a beloved children's series that developed a cult following and can still be seen on TV today.
His little series that could was the high-action rescue series, Thunderbirds, which followed the adventures of a family of marionettes in the distant future.

There are all sorts of buddy-road comedies. There have been many versions of Revenge of the Nerds.
Everything old is new again. That's the motto in Hollywood as the powers that be in the suits would rather take an old idea either in the form of a movie or a comic book or a TV series and remake it for modern audiences. Sometimes these ideas work out well and other times they don't.
In many ways, Andrew Largeman (Zach Braff) is your just your typical struggling actor in Los Angeles. Graced with minor success in a TV movie where he played a mentally challenged football player, he's currently doing what every out of work actor does and that's waiting tables. He is generally unhappy with his life and is not sure what exactly he wants to do.

In the world of heavy rock music, there is one band that defines the genre more than any other. From their humble beginnings in the early 80s to the peak of their fame in the mid-90s, there is no denying the musical force that is Metallica.
Akira Kurosawa's visions of feudal Japan were some of the first to show western audiences Japan's history through their eyes. Kurosawa was an amazing director and each frame housed so much passion. His brilliant films like Yojimbo and The Seven Samurai not only had strength of cinematography but of swordsmanship, humor, and detailed characters.
Based on John Irving's best-selling novel "A Widow for One Year", The Door in the Floor is set in East Hampton, New York, a posh and secluded beach community which has become a refuge for children's book author Ted Cole (Jeff Bridges) and his stunning wife Marion (Kim Basinger).
