God Awful Remakes

[RAVENBLACK]

Probably even worse than ****ty sequels to be honest. Why spoil something that is perfect. Now let's try and think of a few disastrous remakes.

1. Alfie (Jude Law ffs. In fact he would be number 5 in the most boring and terrible actors).

2. The Italian Job (****in hell, we're talking Michael Caine).

3. Night Of The Hunter (ffs De Niro the Mitchum one is a classic).

Some films should be left well alone as they are classics and cannot in any way be improved.

There's loads more but I can't think off-hand. Anymore for anymore?

 

[The Raging Oxter]

Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone

 

[Resurgam]

King Kong - both of the remakes

Goodbye Mr Chips - The Peter O'Toole and Petula Clarke one
I quite liked the Martin Clunes version.

* Night Of The Hunter was the Mitchum one.

Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone

Seriously, I didn't even know that. That's taking the piss

Great shout. The original is a classic.

As soon as I heard the worst actor in the world was going to be in a remake there was no way I was going to go and see it. And from what I have been told it truly was utter pants.

 

[The Raging Oxter]

I almost forgot The Day The Earth Stood Still

Keanu Reeves was outacted by the robot.

The original film was fantastic.

How dare they redo it with a plank of wood in the lead role.

The Desperate Hours , why touch the Bogart/Robinson original, really.

The War Of The Worlds - remade with a gay midget scientologist in the lead role

Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone

That really is deserving of the death penalty for the director responsible.

 

[Heed]

The Omen

Assault on Precinct 13



Why bother, surprised they've never tried to redo The Warriors.

 

[Albert's Chip Shop]

Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone

This was the worst pile of camel **** ever.

 

[Albert's Chip Shop]

Italian job.

 

[Deleted 1]

This was the worst pile of camel **** ever.

Wait for the remake of Lawrence of Arabia

 

[Radio Klopp]

The Thing - not a classic but I loved the original with Kurt Russell.

Total Recall - As an Arnie fan I was never going to warm to a remake.

That already is a remake, the original was a 50s black and white job so many remakes its impossible to keep up....in fact, what is the term for a film that has been made three times, a re-remake ?

Black & Whites don't count!

I'll give it a look up on the Google machine.

A three-make, of course.....

The Out of towners, Steve Martin. I haven't seen it but it cannot possibly be an improvement of Jack Lemmon and Sandy Dennis.
