What's your fav remake?

Question

Remakes have been going on since the begining of time, but it seems like remakes are at a all time high. I love classic movies and if I like it a lot I might not be to keen on seeing a remake. I don't care to much for a remake but every now and then they might get me with one. So what's your best and worst remake. My fav has to be Peter Jackson Kong he did a good job and paid homage to the original, I also enjoyed Speilbergs War of the Worlds. I thought Stepford Wives was a horrible rendition of the original, I love Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner so thumbs down to Guess Who and the only thing I have to say about Poisiden is why? I thought it was funny when James Carpenter remade his own movie The Fog (well who better to do it). And what about the remakes that have been made 1000 times (Pride & Prejudice). And don't forget the remakes with the unnecessary sequel (Father of The Bride II). Oh wait the original had a sequel, well you get my drift.

Answer 1

I generally destest remakes of great movies, but I actually liked Red Dragon (with Edward Norton) almost as much as the original titled Manhunter (William Petersen). I guess some in Hollywood are getting too scared to try an original script and idea - they seem to be going for the guaranteed bucks lately.

Answer 2

King Kong. Peter Jackson did a great job with all of the special effects. Some of it to me looked like he was trying to icorprate what they did in the 1st movie w/ the special fx.
