Hide and Seek 



David Callaway's (Robert De Niro) life is falling apart. After the suicide of his wife, Alison (Amy Irving), the therapist moves himself and his daughter Emily (Dakota Fanning) into Upstate New York, where he hopes to find solace in the isolation offered by their new house.
Things begin to go awry as Emily's new imaginary friend, 'Charlie', starts to disrupt the life of the Callaway family, driving a wedge between father and daughter, and leaving a trail of unexplained, yet highly disturbing incidents and even murder.
This movie is definitely in the top 5 of the flicks coming out in the thriller-suspence genre. De Niro and Fanning play excellently against each other, which lends a credibility to the over-all events of the story. Kept me guessing right up until the end.
Check this out if you're into something creepy, but not overly-gory.

Flight of the Phoenix (2004) 



After an oil-rig is shut down in the Mongolian desert, the crew (Giovanni Ribisi, Miranda Otto, Tony Curran, and several others) along with the pilots (Dennis Quaid, Tyrese) responsible for shipping them out crash land in the middle of nowhere after a sandstorm blocks their way. Tensions run high in the after-math of the crash, with no consensus on what should be done next. With the promptings of an odd drifter who is part of neither group, the stranded lot decide to use the old plane to build a new one.
It becomes a race against nature, humanity and rapidly dwindling supplies as the group must pull together to achieve the impossible: rescuing themselves from a fate totally worse than death.
Having not seen the original, I cannot compare, but I enjoyed the movie very much. Each actor brought what they could to the roles and the dynamic made the movie plausible and touching. This was released to DVD back in March, but with the slim pickings of August coming up, it'll be a good time to revisit missed movies or old favourites.
