It's kind of amazing that I Am Legend has been adapted into a movie three times (four, if you count Asylum's take on it, I suppose), and yet none of them have had the balls to stick to the original ending.

do they shoot a dog in it or something?

hell comes to frogtown
the new barbarians (might be the worst movie on the list but worth it for the soundtrack alone, its worth rewatches for just the soundtrack)
blood for dracula
tremors
blue thunder
utu
extreme prejudice
rapid fire
near dark

maybe you will like some of these but you might also hate some of them!

hey does anyone have particularly good recommendations for ww2 underground resistance films?

i like army of shadows, its about the french resistance. very gritty and grim but a great film

nine lives from 1957 about the norwegian resistance was nominated for an oscar and voted greatest norwegian movie of all time. i dont think many people outside of norway have seen this but its fantastic and escapes a lot of the negative trappings of older norwegian cinema. its also based on a true story

Manchurian candidate is a classic. i think its great! it also has multiple connections to JFK which i think is a very good film.

it would make a great double feature with JFK if that movie wasnt 3 hours long and you hadnt already watched it.

Kickboxer: Retaliation has Christopher Lambert in it? the whole cast of that movie seems absurd

The Marriage of Maria Braun is pretty good, deals with post war stuff and its partly shot in Berlin. its from 1978 so it even fits the era you wanted!

Dredd is fantastic and fits the "efficient story" bit very well.

the best bond movies for me are the trashiest ones: You only live twice and Live and let die. I enjoyed them as a kid and i enjoy them now. high budget exploitation cinema at its finest.

octopussy has a lovely plot and its a very boring bond, no interesting characters, meh setpieces. i dont think anyone likes this one.
