First listen, though of course I'd heard the singles before.
That's the album that made them (the best known version of that band).  Best album too. 


GUNS N' ROSES Appetite For Destruction

FAIREST OF THEM ALL (2025)  -
  I found this rather bizarre film on Peacock tonight.  The Mad Hatter has imprisoned some homicidal versions of classic fairy tale/Disney princesses and forces them into a death match for the "privilege" of becoming his bride and ruling the realm of madness by his side. Bloody showdowns follow.  Not terrible, but not great. 2.5/5 - 3/5

"Red Sonja" (1985)
Producer Dino De Laurentiis tried to duplicate the success of the two "Conan" flicks with this spin off featuring the statuesque but wooden Brigitte Nielsen as the red-headed swordswoman. She battles a variety of bad guys and monsters on her quest to stop an evil queen who's stolen an artifact with immense destructive power.
Ahh-nuld appears in a supporting role as a character who is clearly supposed to be Conan, but isn't named "Conan," likely due to copyright issues. Legend has it that he considers this his worst film, and he only made it to fulfill his contract with De Laurentiis.
I was prompted to revisit this legendary flop after watching the godawful 2025 Sonja "reboot" last week, so I could compare the two. Make no mistake, they're both pretty terrible, but at least the '85 version was the "fun" kind of bad; the 2025 film was the cinematic equivalent of a root canal. If you absolutely must watch a Red Sonja movie (and I am not at all suggesting you do), make it this one.

yeah as a concept I don't really agree with remakes at all but there are a few I do like- although they tend to be pre-2000 remakes, i.e. THE FLY

I was about to assume I hadn't seen any of those, because I don't like the whole concept, but I did see the new SUSPIRIA and liked it. Not as much as the original, of course, but it did do the most important thing a remake can do: it had almost nothing to do with the first one besides the basic setup.

Notes:

THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 (2007) is not a remake of THE HILLS HAVE EYES 2 (1985)

According to the producers, WILLARD (2003) is apparently not a remake of WILLARD (1971). But it looks like it is.

SILENT NIGHT (2012) is a remake of SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT (1984), but it doesn't have exactly the same title so didn't include it.

"Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" (2016)
The daughter of the Empire's premier weapons designer joins the Rebellion and leads a mission to steal the plans for the in-progress Death Star in this prequel to the original 1977 film. Essentially it's an old fashioned war movie ala "The Dirty Dozen" in Star Wars wrapping, and it's still my favorite of the "new" round of S.W. movies.
