I honestly can't think of any.
shareForever Amber. The book is one of my favorites, but unfortunately the 1947 movie was severely cleaned up and it would a great period piece with all of the juicy stuff left in.
shareOnly 2:
The Thing (1982) top 20
True Grit (2010) top 200
True Grit is one of the few Westerns I really like. Never saw the original though.
shareWHAT IN THE EVERLASTING FUCK?...ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?...JESUS CHRIST...YOU ARE NOT ONLY THE WORST...YOU ARE POORLY EDUCATED IN THE ARENA OF FILM AS WELL...UGH.
shareWesterns are very one note.
shareYOU HAVE MISSED ONE OF THE MULTI NOTE CLASSICS.
I just haven't got around to watching it.
shareI GREW UP IN A DUKE HOUSE...IN FACT THERE IS STILL A FRAMED JOHN WAYNE WALL IN THE HOUSE THAT MY GRANDMOTHER DECORATED...I OWN EVERY WAYNE FILM AVAILABLE TO OWN AND HAVE SEEN THEM ALL...TRUE GRIT,THE SEARCHERS AND THE SHOOTIST ARE HIS MASTERPIECES.
shareYou grew up in David Duke's house? That explains a lot.
shareTrue Grit remake was one note for me as I couln't believe how much of the original Grit dialog they re-used. Although replacing homely Kim Darby was a good move..
shareI was going to say no, but then I remembered Sword Master (2016) is a remake of Death Duel (1977).
shareI'd probably have to go way back. Although the Footloose remake was very close to the original and almost as good which was surprising. But generally I am not a fan of remakes and reboots especially if the film get rebooted every couple of years.
shareOceans 11 (2001)
Magnificent Seven (1960)
Oceans 11 was really good one of my favorite heist films ever.
Another great remake of a heist film is The Thomas Crown affair with Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo. I really loved that movie with this time a happy ending and giving a little more action to it.
I always preferred the stylishness and harder edge of the original. I was quite grumpy about the remake the first time I saw it though it's not a bad film in its own right.
shareBoth takes work well with that story the more dramatic take with the more cynical Thomas Crown and the more light hearted take on it which is a romantic comedy with some action in it.
But the story works surprisingly well in both ways and I did like Pierce a lot as Thomas Crown he was the perfect man to portray him in the remake.
