Films like 'Clash of the Titans' are remade using CGI effects and to me it just doesn't look right, I prefer the 1981 movie it looks more solid to me with Ray Harryhausen's stop motion models.I was reading yesterday of plans to remake the Magnificent 7 with Tom Cruise.
Are there any films/movies you think should be remade because of better technology or should be left alone because they couldn't be bettered?
Spot on.I don't like to see great films remade.
What's the point anyway?
They are classics, and should be left alone.
The new versions of Poseidon, Italian Job, etc - awful.
It's not very original to remake a film. That said, it may be a good idea to remake films that were and are absolute flops if they can be improved on.
On tv I tried to watch the remake of Reggie Perrin, but most of it was just unwatchable.
When it comes to film and tv, everything has been done, so they now remake things.
If they want to remake something, why not remake missing episodes of old comedies and dramas? (If you don't mind someone else playing Captain Mainwaring and Hancock.)
This isn't ranting, its the whole truth.Sorry for the rant but it just makes me seethe.
Sir Michael Caine was right when he said that if they insist on remaking movies then they should be made to wait until at least 50 years after the original, by which time many of the people connected to that said movie will have passed on and cannot be insulted by such garbage.
