The best movies never made... Anime-inspired (part 4):

Kiddy Grade (1950)
A father telling his kids about his time in school. Very nostalgic, even for than.

Mind Game (2000)
In the tradition of "American Psycho" and "Dangerous Liaisons". A really evil film about evil people.

Now and Then, Here and There (1999)
Sequel to "Now and Then" with Demi Moore and Melanie Griffith. I don't get why this movie was necessary, even the first part was superfluous.

Brother, Dear Brother (2001)
Ugh. That's a hentai dealing with incest. I wish I had never even heard of it.

Otaku no Video (2000)
A movie sponsored by concerned groups, documenting how an Otaku gets rid of his video addiction. Otaku (says) no (to) Video - get it?

Princess Mononoke (Romance) - Made in 1976, this high class romance details the life of the daughter of the final Japanese Emperor, Hirohito. The young Princess Taka, cast away from her early life of luxury, struggles to cope with life in a Republic Japan and gains aid from a British soldier stationed in Osaka. She learns to trust and eventually love the soldier despite the protests of her family, the hatred for foreigners among her people after their defeat and the execution of her father. Nominated for six Oscars (of which, it won four) Princess Mononoke was so named because of the Princess's claim to be able to speak with her dead father.

The Italian Job (War) - This classic (yet highly underated) war epic details the Nazi - Italian war of 1934. The movie moves away from the power mongering of the two leaders (which caused friction between them and eventually, conflict) and instead concentrates on a group of young German soldiers who are the first to invade Italy through the Alps.

The Incredibles (1987)
C'mon, the title already tells everything. Who (at least in the US, I know) doesn't know the, well, incredible story of those four guys who managed to bring down Al Capone, all alone? It's got Sean Connery!

Armageddon (?)
So the Revelation wasn't just something written down after someone had too many magic mushrooms... this movie's got everything: The Antichrist, angels pouring out the wrath of God, devils roaming free on Earth, the return of Messiah... but the most astonishing fact about it: This was really filmed while the Apocalypse took place, and a DVD with a copy of the takes was ISOT into the present thanks to the ASBs! Wanna watch it? It's on youtube.com already... or it would, if the site hadn't had to shut down after it was uploaded...

Signs (1934)
French movie about Champollion, the man who deciphered the Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Doctor Dolittle (1999)
Who would've thought that you can heal patients simply by making them laughing? This doctor did. Watch Robin Williams in this funny... or serious... no, let's face it, it really is a funny movie.

Home Alone (1955)
A really shocking "earth after nuclear holocaust" movie from the post-WW2 era. 100 minutes of a man sitting in his sealed-off apartment, trying to make contact to ANYONE, and finally commits suicide...
Oops. Now I spoiled - but seriously, if you can't take that, I guess you can even less take that movie.

That story was also told in Frank Capra's classic "Million Dollar Baby".

"The Road to Guantanamo": Loosely inspired by "Road Trip", this teen comedy follows three clueless Cuban college students as they drive from Havana to Guantanamo after graduation.

That film was more from the POV of the Lindberg's and most historians agree the it was factually inaccurate.

Brave New World (1963)- James Dean played the star in this timeless adaptation of Aldous Huxley's novel. It is noted for pushing Libbies into the film industry and the theaters, and for being James Dean's final film before his death in a street racing accident in 1965. It was also blamed for the burning of a church in Atlanta, among other acts of vandalism against the "world state"

Confessional (1964)- An intriguing, episodic and detached look at a non-descript small town and all of the vice and failings of traditional society. In the movie, a Bishop, worn down by constant sin among his parish, looks for the real meaning of life all the while using the confessionals to help shape it. Written by Jack Kerouac.
