You're funny. You think the only movies I'd watch would be Woody Allen or Spike Lee?

Can someone please name me a remade movie that was is better than the original we thought was great ? Because I seem to be disappointed with the one's I've seen. The movies that are most enjoyable to me have a great story matched with great performances by gifted actors. The remakes Iv'e seen all have lost a lot of the real story with a relience on special effects and the personality of the original is never recaptured.
One of my favorites is Lifeboat. 95% of the movie was filmed in an 18' lifeboat in a pool on a studio set and was all acting. A great movie of personalities and survival with few props and I don't know if todays actors or producers could do as fine a job.

But John Wayne wasn't in the remake!

True, which made it better. The remake was also more historically accurate.
I never considered John Wayne a great actor. He just made a lot of movies.
Surprisingly the remake of True Grit was pretty good.

I think they should do a remake of "Frosty the Snowman". In the updated version, don't let him melt. It's supposed to be the Holiday Season when they air this movie, and it's geared towards kids. I was scarred when I watched him "die" when I was a younger lad. Granted, he comes back to life, but the damage is done.

Which Southern Comfort? The one with Keith Carradine and Powers Boothe from 1981 or the other one about the Tranny with cancer?
In either case, a remake is not necessary
Southern Comfort (1981) is too good to be remade and no one wants to see a Tranny get cancer twice...I think.
