I know Im gonna get slated now but I prefered the remake!!

Titanic

 

[eastlondonseagull]

I know Im gonna get slated now but I prefered the remake!!

They can't be compared, cos it's not a re-make, as such. I'd say it's a new film that has the same name, with similar ideas in it.

Think they're both good movies, though I prefer the first one.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

posiden was wank

 

[Simster]

The Wicker Man.

Good call. I saw the remake 4 weeks ago and it really was pony.

 

[Brovion]

'Bedazzled'. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore replaced by Elizabeth Hurley and Brendan Fraser!

Good calls though on 'The Ladykillers' and 'Assault on Precinct 13'. There should be a protected body of work that you are not allowed to touch.

 

[keaton]

They're just about to remake of School For Scoundrels which looks utter turd

 

[Tiptop24]

the Brazilian Job..............out this year!

 

[Blackadder]

The remake of Assault On Precinct 13 was not in the same class as John Carpenter's 1976 original.

Agreed. Didn't they have different storylines as well?

 

[Biscuit]

Assault On Precinct 13.

 

[Les Biehn]

An odd one is LA Takedown and its remake Heat. Both directed by Micheal Mann, both have the same plot, the first is a pile of shit starring Daniel Baldwin, the second is awesome and stars two virtual unknowns.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Do Tv films count?

Miami Vice was a pile of shit as was shaft.

Mr Deeds wasnt great.
