River ,'Objects In Space'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I prefer the Winona Ryder/Susan Sarandon Little Women over the other feature film versions, but it's more a remake of the book than of any of the previous films.
I was thinking about Pride & Prejudice, but it's the same issue.
(See also, Peter Jackson LotR)
I fell asleep during both iterations of Solaris, but the only thing I could say was definitively better about the Soderbergh version was that it was significantly shorter.

Huh, Safari's spellcheck doesn't mind 'basterd" but flags "inglourious"

I preferred The Birdcage to La Cage Aux Folles.
This site has a pretty good list:

Will it still be boring?
Your question is based on a false premise.

I was gonna say. Pelham 1-2-3? Really?
To answer my own question, original Casino Royale was a mess.
Wikipedia has a (possibly) comprehensive list of all film remakes split into 2 sections:
JZ will make the case that the Julia Ormond/Harrison Ford Sabrina is better written and cast than the original with Audrey.
She can make the case, but my Audrey love is too great to admit she is right.
Hitchcock's remake of The Man Who Knew Too Much is supposed to be better than his original, right? I've only seen the remake.
