Funny Games remake was vile. I hated it.

Don't wait for me!
Yup, overlong sentimental dreariness. I'd probably watch the War House play though.
Fair enough, each to their own.
War Horse live is being shown at the Brighton Marina on 27/2.

Absolutely no need to make a Hollywood remake of the Norwegian film Troll Hunter. An excellent horror mockumentary with comedy moments. If you have not seen yet you are missing a treat.
I concur. A real treat. For heavens sake they will be remaking Dog Soldiers soon.
I know it was a bit of a marmite film but I read recently that they're gonna remake starship troopers but as a serious action movie, similar to the total recall remake. It was the comedy aspects of these films that made them classics IMO. Love the propaganda news reels in starship troopers.

I think following on from this, any remake that has Johnny Depp as the lead.

what is Burton's Alice in Wonderland remaking? it not like any other Alice film i've seen, its rather the demonstration of how you can or should revisit a book or other films, by re-imagining it.

None whatsoever as it was remade frame for frame. Only difference was it was in colour and different time.
Yes most definitely this and of course Alien Anal Intruders. The remake lacked the characterisation of the original and of course there was a real dearth of actual anal.

Got the Bruce Willis remake but can't trace the original.....any ideas? Who was in it?
I may be wrong but think it may have been Anne Widdecombe.

I find it hard to class films where the source material is a book or short story as a "remake". To take "The Thing" as an example, John Carpenter's "remake" was based on the short story "Who goes there?" by John W. Campbell. A story about a shape-shifting alien set in The Arctic. Carpenter's film was much closer to the book than the first "The Thing from Another World", which was just another 50s B-movie "man in a rubber suit" monster flick, which happened to be set in The Arctic.
Some "remakes" are actually more faithful adaptations of the original novels and novellas and thus not "remakes" at all IMO.

Also Sleuth- Laurence Olivier & Michael Caine in the original is a masterclass. MC as the older guy in remake just didnt work.
I have also seen the stage play, with original plot (using other actors), which was very good.
