Just watched The Taking of Pelham 123. I enjoyed it a lot.
Also watched, for the 2nd time years later, the Total Recall remake. I really enjoyed it the 2nd time round (after hating it for not being enough like the original).

The Thomas Crown Affair with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo is a really good remake.

I liked the Netflix version of Texas Chainsaw tbh. Not sure is a remake though.

Was ridiculous them replacing her with a random person. That's like Jaime Lee Curtis & Neve Campbell who we've all grown up watching and gotten to know through Halloween & Scream , to then be replaced with random actresses who the audience have no connection with..... to then play Laurie & Sydney . |

Texas Chainsaw Massacre's 00's Film.
The Hills Have Eyes Black Christmas 00's Film Japanese Anime wise Berserk's Golden Age Trilogy is a remake of the 1997 Berserk Anime TV Series if that can count?

The 1980's surreal musical remake of Little Shop of Horrors is an all time classic.

I really enjoyed the IT remake, remakes are mostly awful though especially when they take a movie that people loved originally(Point Break & Willy Wonka spring to mind) Why do that? Why not pick one that had good potential but weren't that good originally?

Then again, Total Recall springs to mind here - yes, the effects are dated and the writing is cheesy but the whole thing was dull when remade. It turns out,w hat makes the original a classic IS the terrible special effects, cheesy Arnie dialogue, and late-80's Sci Fi aesthetic. I guess that's what you're saying though - you can just take a well liked film, remake it and expect it to be good... because the "magic" that just happened to come together at the time isn't as simple as the plot or script. |

I'd say the "obvious ones" were the movies were broken down and rebuilt from the ground up - The Fly, The Thing (not the 2011 one obviously).

The original was a bit ...silly. The scientist and human swapped heads and hands, so there was a man running round with a giant fly head here's the iconic (creepy!) ending: Last edited by Oliver_W; 10-03-2023 at 10:47 AM. |

I have the original on dvd. From 1930. 93 years old. It's actually not the oldest film I have on dvd. I have Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid" which is 102 years old. From 1921.
