HEADPHONES Posted April 20, 2019 Posted April 20, 2019 This 1978 remake of "Invasion of the body snatchers" gave me nightmares for weeks as a kid. Just this ending scene alone sends shivers down my spine despite the absence of gore or anyone jumping out to shock you What are your top tips for remakes that improved on the original? Quote

HEADPHONES Posted April 20, 2019 Author Posted April 20, 2019 Not seen True Grit or Magnificent Seven yet so will add them to my watch list on your recommendations Quote

I’ve just realised that due to my age I don’t consider the latest remake of TMS to be a thing, which is potentially dangerous for younger viewers, I was referring to the Brynner/McQueen version as the superior remake.

Jay84 Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 I know it's a different genre (ok ok it's for kids), but I thought the most recent turtles film was better than the 90's film. I think as cgi has got better it allows for better films in instances like these. In a similar trend, I'd fly the flag for the It remake. Quote

Ekona Posted April 23, 2019 Posted April 23, 2019 I think you may be stretching this thread here... Quote

davey_83 Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 (edited) ^ yeah not a remake but incredibly similar. Pandora also, round can be flat Edited April 24, 2019 by davey_83 Quote

Stutopia Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 F&F is just (original) Point Break... ...for kids. 1 Quote
