I need to know about movie improvements

[andrewducker]

A critical question came up at lunch today, for which I do not have a satisfactory answer. So, throwing it open to the floor:

Are there *any* movies which would not be improved by the addition of Godzilla?

While I'm sure Pride and Prejudice and Godzilla would be an amazing experience, I think merely adding Godzilla to the existing P&P movie would not be an improvement.

Yeah, that was my feeling - adding Godzilla to many things would be fun, but would not improve the original exactly.

There is a file Pride and Prejudice and zombies. Rotten Tomatoes says [it] manages to wring a few fun moments out of its premise, but never delivers the thoroughly kooky mashup its title suggests.

I'm not a fan of either but maybe Godzilla is a class above zombies ?

"West Side Story" would not be improved by the addition of Godzilla. It really needs the Sharks and Jets to be "alike in dignity," and Godzilla by his nature is NOT. And if they turn from one another to both focus on Godzilla, you lose the personal conflict that drives the tragic love story. You could make an exciting movie out of "Godzilla's West Side Story," but it would either be a joke or a completely different thing.

The Zillas and the Mothras have a very exciting dance off. But will their million-year rivalry get in the way of true love?

Les Parapluies de Cherbourg? Casablanka?

Just imagine how much better it would be if, rather than Guy fighting the Algerian resistance, he was fighting Godzilla.

[juan_gandhi]

I don't remember any Algerian resistance there, but the idea of Godzilla being on the side of Nazis, kidnapping Ilsa, etc, would make it look very different. Still, in the end, the plane flies away.

That was for Umbrellas of Cherbourg. I didn't see your update with Casablanca until after I replied.

Define "improved".

If you add Godzilla to any porn flick, it will quite quickly stop being a porn flick. Is it an improvement?

[andrewducker]

There is very definitely Godzilla porn out there.
