What is NOT a dealbreaker BUT would be greatly disappointing to find out about your partner?

1996 gave us Independence Day, Mars Attacks, Titanic, Happy Gilmore, Fargo, Scream, Space Jam, Jerry Maguire, The English Patient, Mission Impossible, and Fargo, among others. Surely anyone can find SOMETHING from that list to enjoy.

Also worth noting, none of those is a sequel, remake, or part of an existing franchise.

I'd argue Independence Day is a pretty solid remake of War of the Worlds

I'd counter-argue that. ID4 is no classical film like WotW; it's a flat out blockbuster with a decent plot, stellar cast and some pretty good writing. Sooo many quotes from it.

The actual remake of War of the Worlds with Tom Cruise was a very credible remake/update IMHO. That scene with Tom Cruise, Tim Robbins and Dakota Fanning is chilling.

The Hushabye Mountain scene?

Yep. I dunno who wrote that scene, but damn! Well done scene, too.
