Quote HistoryQuoted: 1000% WRONG. 1925 is best. The 1925 version was later recut, partially colourized, had sound added then re-released in 1929 Don't forget the 1943 remake staring Claude Rains Another remake in 1962 staring Herbert Lom by Hammer Film Productions The 1988 animated version The 1989 remake with Robert Englund The 1998 Italian version Then you get to the 2004 version. Don't forget the spin offs like the Phantom of the Mall or the Phantom of Paradise. I know I'm forgetting several other versions but you get the picture I'm sure. All of it stemming from a book by a French writer named Gaston Leroux back in 1910. It's my favourite book btw. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The Phantom of the Opera (2004) is much more watchable than the 1925 version. Lon Chaney is a better phantom though. 1000% WRONG. 1925 is best.

I’ll have to find these middle films though, as I haven’t seen them. I need to find a VHS player to rewatch the 1925 too. |

Phantom of the Opera has been public domain a long time. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Finally somebody who gets it! The lean, mean horror of the originals is way more interesting than the bloated action film sequels, even if they are two of the best action films ever. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Serious talk here. Alien was a far better movie. Aliens, while a good movie, wasn't even in the same genre. Also, Terminator was leagues better than T2. Finally somebody who gets it! The lean, mean horror of the originals is way more interesting than the bloated action film sequels, even if they are two of the best action films ever. LoLz Thanks. Aliens and T2 are good but so different from the original they could almost stand on their own. |

My argument isn't that they are reboots but that they so radically changed the format of the movies that they may as well be different films altogether and just share a name and universe. Not that they are remakes. |

Quoted:Has-ANY-Rebooted-Show-Or-Movie-Ever-Been-Better-The-The-Original Either it becomes stupidly woke, they use special effects to cover for poor acting, or they lose the ''flavor'' and originality [duh] of what was trying to be expressed to the viewers. And when the original was done in black and white, it can lose the starkness portrayed and what B&W pushed even more to the screen. Batman (the only real Batman) 1966 was much better than the orginal B&W series.  Batman 1966 TV Show Theme Song - A tribute The Italy remake of Nero Wolfe is better than any earlier version.  First Look: Nero Wolfe - The Red Box (ep. 107) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The judge dredd remake was pure shit. Now the robocop remake wasn't half bad. But I don't know if it beats the original. The first two Robocop movies were great... If you like B- grade special effects (I'm looking at you, ED-209). The story is pretty good though, and Robocop 2 does have the original folding SMG in it, which is cool. Robocop 3 is an abomination, and should be stricken from the record. I really can't remember much about the new Robocop movie, so I think it's time to watch it again. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Sherlock on BBC was on point. The 1980's & 1990's series was awesome, most episodes were very true to the books as well & Jeremy Brett crushed it as Holmes. They also didn't feel the need to make Watson look like a bungling idiot. To bad Brett got sick towards the end & died, would have loved to see them cover the rest of Doyle's original stories. |
