Are there any remakes/reboots that would make your list of favourite movies?

TBonTB was Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. Her last film before she died in the plane crash. gotta give props to them doing a nazi satire in 1942.

i saw the Brooks version in the 80s and it became one of my favorite movies. when i found out it was a remake. i had to seek out the original.

i was expecting that brooks updated it a lot. to my surprise it was probably 80% scene for scene. just a little streamlining in editing, adding some characters, and where i thought the original went a little too serious on a few occasions. brooks replicated the seriousness of nazi capture... but threw an extra zinger to bring the comedy back.

both are 10/10 in my book.

It's a remake of a short film, so I think that still counts.

Have you seen Deja vu? It makes part 2 look like an oscar winner.

I remember the remake actually credits the earlier film. Been a long time since I read the book but I think there were tweaks to the story that the later film reused so I guess they had too.
