Thor: Ragnarok is the most viewed trailer in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I made an argument last week that the main reason for this is because the movie used Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” to accompany it. Don’t get me wrong. The trailer happened to be fantastic. Cate Blanchett’s appearance was perfect. Jeff Goldblum looked like some wacked out moron but it fit perfectly. There was also an excellent blend of humor and action. Honestly it was the perfect trailer. But again, imagine they hadn’t used “Immigrant Song.” How good would the trailer have been? I bring this

Deep Impact Vs Armageddon is not the only time similar movies have landed around the same time...
Usually, a competing project is poison for a studio. Especially in the era now where a blockbuster costs the national budget of a small country to get out into the world, you don't want to be up against a film with similar subject matter.
Yet this keeps happening, time and time again. Even now, there are two live action Jungle Book movies in various stages of production, for example. And let us not forget when K-9 and Turner And Hooch once did battle...
But how have the movie showdowns of old turned out? And are there any instances where everyone's a winner?
Er, not many as it happens...
The Haunting Vs The House On Haunted Hill
Let's start with two reasonably budgeted horror films, that both got wide releases. Jan De Bont...

Die Hard, Robin Hood and Harry Potter are just a few highlights of Alan Rickman's movie career. We pick our favourite Rickman roles...
Because we are human beings who like things that are good, it goes without saying that we love Alan Rickman. One of the finest British screen actors of his generation - and a few others too - he's had a varied career, taking in memorable Hollywood villains to smaller independent fare. But what amongst his film roles (and we've focused on films that got a cinema release) are our favourites? Glad you asked...

Kevin Smith's fourth film in some ways remains his most ambitious. In casting terms certainly, and the involvement of Alan Rickman led to the writer-director warning long time collaborator Jason Mewes that he "didn't want to piss off that Rickman dude".
