I liked the first one. Me and my daughter used to watch it.

This should be a fun whodunnit.

tranquility · 06-30-2022, 04:49 PM

I stopped it part-way because didn't wanna spoil it for myself. Looks pretty good.

I never got around to it even though it's full of good actors. I guess I feel like I already know what's gonna on after watching Madonna's video so many times during the 80s.

Watched “Elvis” the movie. Was pretty enjoyable. On par with Bohemian Rhapsody and better than the Elton John one.

sharkymcpeterson · 06-30-2022, 06:46 PM

Watching Fast Times at Ridgemont High (for the 20th time probably) right now on AMC. Classic.

Captain Blood · 06-30-2022, 08:48 PM

Tomorrow:
Fearless, with Jeff bridges. A brilliant movie

I can't think of any except maybe, "I am Legend" and maaaaayyybbeee "Bladerunner 2049"……but I don't even know if either would be qualified as a remake though. Maybe as a hive mind we can find a remake that was as good as, or better than, the original film.

Scarface? Although I never saw the original since it was ancient.

Hmmm! Now I'll have to watch the 1932 version.

Esteban · 07-01-2022, 01:54 AM

The 1960 Magnificent Seven - a remake of Seven Samurai. Also remade again in 2016 with Denzel Washington.

The Departed - a remake of Infernal Affairs.

True Grit

The Fly

3:10 to Yuma

Edit: I did not see Seven Samurai or Infernal Affairs so I can't say the remakes were as good or better, but I did like the remakes. Saw the others and their remakes - the remakes were as good or better imo.

I doubt it's gonna top Pacino's since most of us saw Al's first and I can't help but think there's gonna be a bunch of gangsters running around speaking like James Cagney, so I can't take it srsly

I can vouch that Hollywood's version is better, even though I saw the HK film first. They changed some things around to make some characters more believable.

"The Departed" was great.

300 was a remake, believe it or not. The original was decent. I think it was called The 300 Spartans.

I didn't even know that existed, same with some others mentioned

Cape Fear was made in to an excellent remake. With Robert De Nero. He was creepy in that. Robert Mitchum played the creepy guy in the original, and he had a small part in the remake.
