The only good movies I’ve seen that were made in the last few years are foreign movies.
Hollywood needs to make movie people want to see. They do not want to be preached at or told what to think—they want good entertainment and mindless action films. Comedies that are not right out of the toilet. Suggestions from my fertile mind:
1. Re do Charlie Chan but with Asian actors and with a focus on the Real Hawaiian Chan and his deeds as a skilled detective.
2. Do a Civil War movie on the Confederate raider CSS Alabama and her voyage and destruction off France.
3. Do a story on US Black pilots who fought Mussolini’s troops and air force in Ethiopia in the 1930s.
4. Re-do the Chandu the Magician of the 1930s—it would make a great 3 d film.
5. Do a movie of Brick Bradford and his time top—from the 1940s comic Book.
6. Do a good version of Flash Gordon and not that bad one made by the Italians. Space Opera at its finest.
7. Do the story of two aces shot down over Nazi Germany—one American—one Russian. they become friends but meet and duel over Korea in Jets.
8. Do a story on the air war over Vietnam about North Vietnamese ace Col. Tomb and his destruction.
A few ideas for anyone trying to come up with new movies.
