I just don't see eye-to-eye with remaking any art... there are too many good original writers out there.
It is slack and pathetic.

I really liked "Man On Fire," with Denzel Washington, but I haven't seen the original.

I thought that "El Mariachi" was much better than "Desperado." Desperado seems more of a remake than a sequel, to me.

I just bought "The Big Clock." I'll let you know.

I thought "The Fly (1986)" was much better than the original.

Oh, dear heavens no. You are clearly mental.

And don't you dare say anything about the Freaky Friday remakes ...

Sweet closing sequence to Mark of Zorro.

There's been too many to count on "Dracula" Pictures, but I thought "Bram Stokers" w/Gary Oldman was the best. For some reason I thought he was "hot" in that movie.

I thought the Coppola Dracula was not as good as most of the others, despite the special effects. But you're right, Dracula does hold up a lot better in remakes than a lot of movies ... I love the Christopher Lee versions, and the Frank Langella version ... even the Jack Palance Made-for-TV Dracula had it's moments.

I agree with you on the Christopher Lee & Frank Langella - something about their eyes - scary

I have doubts about Keanu Reeves playing Klaatu.
