jerseydave77 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 What's a remake that was either better than, or complimented, the original? I'm struggling to think of one. If I'm honest I suppose the Red Dawn remake was solid but not nearly as good as the first. Has there been one yet that people hold up as great?

jhulud Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 This whole trend of remaking and "reimagining" movies is completely asinine. Especially movies that do not need to be remade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerseydave77 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Dredd was good ryan. Hope things are well. The original True Grit was so much better but I am admittedly a total sucker for old Westerns. That's a thread we could use on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFP Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 13 ghosts.The original 13 Ghosts is a classic and classically scary, the remake is terrible.I enjoyed Dredd, but didn't think of it as a "remake" just the reboot that it needed, for instance we don't "need" a new RoboCop. This Point Break rehash is just another example that Hollywood refuses to create/use new ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Also, the remake "The Haunting" is good. And the movie "House On Haunted Hill" which is a sort of retelling of the original "House on Haunted Hill" I liked that because Geoffrey Rush did a great Vincent Price. These are personal preference though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
