In the original the cop, played by a young Edward Woodward (?) was a virgin, it was sort of essential to the plot.  Nicholas Cage playing a virgin   :lol:

I'm just waiting for the Battle of Britain (1969) to be remade by the Americans to make it look like the Americans were what saved us all on their own in the Battle of Britain.  :roll:

Well they say they won the war single handedly anyway (take U235 for example) so why should we start doubting them now

At least the 'hero' get's burned alive at the end of the wicker man, so that's something to look foreward to (not a fan of nick cage you see).

Oh, add Get Carter to the list, classic original, crap remake.

The (Italian?) job, what a travisty but then the yanks never got into the original.

Thomas Crown affair, good remake, I like the slick slight-of-hand execution of the robbery, but the original was still a 'better' film.

Often I think it's whichever film you see first is the one you prefer, but hollywud is really scraping the barrel a bit at the moment, not that I think the Wicker man was a bad film, far from it, but take away al the subtlety and acting that the ynaks don't seem to get and you have a pretty weak tale to tell.

And how on earth will they get the action-packed car chase into it :roll:

Gone in sixty seconds, was american the first time as well, and was made with no special camera trickery, half the time the roads where public.

Saw the making of the first film, they were nuts. 8)

There is a remake of War-Of-the-Worlds in progress. Jeff Wayne gave permission for some of the Musical to be in there with the original storyline and then after seeing the first cut, pulled the permission, hence why the Prologue is almost but not quite the Musicals prologue.

Jeff Wayne has another company tied up into a film of the Musical version :)

oooppps back on topic

Worst remake EVER has got to be the French film Nikita remade as The Assassin with one of the Fonda women.

The original was very dark, forbiding and scary. The remake was very bland. It would have been OK if you hadnt seen the french version
