Quote HistoryQuoted: Man on Fire This. The Denzel Washington version is so much better than the original Scott Glenn version that it's not even worth discussing. Also, anyone that says True Grit talks like a fag and their shit's all fucked up. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: No fucking way. The 1933 version had more of an "adventure" feel to it. The 1976 version was just a guy in a costume running around. It was about one notch above a Godzilla movie. Fay Wray and Willis O'Brien for the win. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 1977 King Kong No fucking way.

Fay Wray and Willis O'Brien for the win. Not to mention the Harryhausen original was a goddam technological marvel that stood up decently well into the Jim Henson era of puppetry effects. That big Hollywood lot fire from a few years back destroyed the giant monkey head that chewed up tribals in one of the scenes

Quoted: Can you name at least one? I liked Sabrina better. Yes the original has Hepburn & Bogart... but I just didn’t like how she was going to casually kill her self (cars running in the garage) over a crush... as the setup to why she was sent to Paris to learn how to cook & get her away from the crush. In the remake she was leaving for Paris anyway (photographer assistant work). No need to try to kill herself etc. Granted Harrison Ford is a little flat in the remake but the rest was good. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Robocop. Remake was a much more serious movie. The first is a classic and great in its own way, but the remake is better. The Thing was better than the 1951 original. Bro, the only good part of 2014 Robocop was the opening scene, after that the movie just falls apart. And PG13? Really? 87 movie is superior in almost every way. |

The Razors Edge
Bill Murray OWNED the role of Larry Darrell. ETA- Young Guns I/II - Best film portrayal of Billy The Kid and the other Regulators. Not wholly historically accurate but I believe the personas were spot on (based on what I have read). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Gone in 60 seconds. The original was rough. Heretic! Cage sucks. The first will always be regarded (at least in my mind) as a forerunner to the glorious 80's live action films. The film is known for having wrecked and destroyed 93 cars in a 40-minute car chase scene. A total of 127 cars were either destroyed or damaged throughout the entirety of the film. The intro to The Fall Guy is better than that remake was. Note, at 1:11 is the end of the original GI60S.  The Fall Guy Intro

"Payback" with Mel Gibson and Maria Bella is one of my top 10 flicks, fuggin' hilarious and awesome... IMO superior to the 60's version "Point Blank" starring Lee Marvin and Angie Dickinson.. the original is true Noir which I can appreciate, but sometimes leaves too much to interpretation and can be unsatisfying to my taste... I believe Payback was an attempt, and has the look for sure, but is a much more straight forward story..
Point Blank is definitely worth a look though, directed by John Boorman and star studded cast.. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I Am Legend. If you mean Omega Man with Charlton Heston was better than The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price, you may be right, though the latter was much closer to the book. If you are saying the Will Smith abomination was better than either one, then I'll have to disagree. |

Red Dawn
 Watched the remake first not knowing it's a remake. Other than a couple weak plot points, I thought it was great. Went back and watched the original when I learned of it, time has not been kind to it. I could barely make it through. |
