Coen Bros. True Grit The remake of Cape Fear with DeNiro is pretty good, too. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Dangerous Female (1931)) ... Satan Met a Lady (1936) ... The Maltese Falcon (1941). Third time's a charm. Better than the two preceding films. I have my own style of humor. I call it Snarkasm. | |||

I disagree on True Grit. I tried to watch it, but turned it off in less than 10 minutes. Unwatchable. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Get Off My Lawn |
I actually like this version a little bit more than the Wayne original. Same with 3:10 to Yuma with Russell Crowe and Christian Bale, even though Glenn Ford was great in the original. IMO, John Carpenter's The Thing is a superior remake of the Howard Hawk's original, The Thing From Another World.

Rule #1: Use enough gun |
RED DRAGON is a quality remake of MANHUNTER. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | |||

The Magnificent Seven (1960) is a solid remake of Kurosawa's (1954) Seven Samurai. | |||

King Kong with Jeff Bridges. The island of Dr Moreau with Burt Lancaster. Let all Men know thee, but no man know thee thoroughly: Men freely ford that see the shallows. Benjamin Franklin | |||

Not just as good, but better, was Man on Fire with Denzel Washington. Much better than the earlier European version. | |||

Hopefully, no one mentions RED DAWN or POINT BREAK. When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed. Luke 11:21 "Every nation in every region now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." -- George W. Bush | |||

The Sword of Gideon and Munich (remake). I thought Munich was better. Loyalty Above All Else, Except Honor ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

The 1995 version Gamera is fantastic. I liked it more than the original. | |||

The darker Batman Begins(2005) with Christian Bale just a tad better then Michael Keaton in Batman(1989) "All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope." --Sir Winston Churchill "The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose." --James Earl Jones | |||
