These two remarks pretty much make you my new favourite person :lol:
Also, Tampopo was a remake (of sorts) of The Magnificent Seven/Seven Samurai and that was awesome.
I tried watching the Papillon remake but it just felt so hollow I couldn’t get past the hour mark. The original 1972 version of Sleuth is one of my favourite films of all time but Michael Caine stomped on its memory with the remake. Consequently, I don’t go near remakes if I’ve any affection...
