The Omen. I love this movie, although I have found I cant stop doing Gregory Peck impressions through the whole thing.
I also had an epiphany while watching it:
Why do studios go through the time and money to remake movies like this when they could save a bundle, and make a bundle, re-releasing them in theaters?
I would gladly shell out 8 bucks to get to see classics like Aliens and the Exorcist on a big screen.
Granted, it was over a decade ago, but I did it when the Star Wars movies were re-released, and I bet enough people would go to make it a profitable venture. Its got to be a better business model then spending 30 million to remake a classic and barely recoup the money spent because after the first 2 weeks, word of mouth destroys any attraction the marketing has created.
