He is up there but as long as Ed Hillary is about, Peter is at least number two. Other candidates (living) - Tana Umaga, Peter Snell, and a bunch of others...

It was funny and scary at the same time. This old sailor saw the King Kong movie in 1933 and told these two Princeton law students that it was all wrong because he had been to the real island. So these guys and their entire rugby team go on this journey to find the island and they collect some characters along the way. There's all this action and adventure and the island has these good alcaholic natives and bad canibals. The giant gorila turns out to be a kick ass clown and you wouldn't believe the ending. I got my copy from a friend but she said they got it off the internet from Cafe Press. I really recomend it. It was a great fun read.

Why hasn't anyone considered remaking "The Day The Earth Stood Still", or "The Incredible Shrinking Man"and a all time favorite "Forbidden Planet". As you can see I'm a die in the wool sci-fi fan, but all of these movies are great movies to give the minds of people something to consider today. What about having all the technology unworkable(TDTEST) ISM though far fetched can give one a look at the microcosm, and the macrocosm if infinity. What about space journeys of the future that brings us to beings, and a culture greater than our owns(FP)? It would be great to see many good directors today redo a version of sci-fi classics. Too many movies of todays sci-fi genre rely to much on the horror ideas of today of blood and gore, but not good story telling.
