are we talking re-makes, or sequels ?
Dont think i know any films where the re-make is better than the original.
but sequels, on the other hand.. the following were better than the first installment
Waynes World 2
Star Trek II
The Dark Knight Rises
Empire Strikes Back |

for those nostalgic films buffs will argue certain films havent lived up to the expectations...not sequels..remakes
some are truly shit, others are great...some just suit peoples preference
for example, foreign films remade into english, fair enough they might not be better..but if u dont like subtitled films(doesnt mean ur an idiot),then its fair enough to like the film.
I hate the 'better as a book' club..As I hate novels, I'm very visually orientated and the idea of reading lord of the rings books etc will NEVER happen for me
anyway, I cant think of any remake thats been better than the original..but there are lots of retellings(an idea I believe that was stolen from comic books, where artists and writers could effectively give a famous story/character their own slant) |

"The Ring.
Didn't like the original version even nearly as much."
By original do you mean the Japanese version (Ringu) or the first attempt at ripping the soul out of a film by hollywood (The Ring)? |

"gone in 60 seconds with Nicholas cage
I was going to say that.
The car chase was much better in the original. Best car chase of all time"
I think you'll find Ronin has the best car chase of all time  |

You're all wrong, even that excellent Meaty fellow with his fine suggestion- but Bullit is best with its soundtrack of throaty engine noises |

"If we are talking remakes rather than sequels or prequels I would go with Casino Royale. "
The first one was a spoof though and nothing to do with the Bond series (other than it spoofing 60's spy movies of course).
So not a remake, sorry!  |

"the best car chase was in bullit with steve mcqueen....."
The best car chase was the original vanishing point. A lot was filmed on public roads and were genuine police chases as they didn't have permission. It was all filmed in sequence and the damage was real, the car wasn't repaired between stunts.
No 2 vanishing point
Barry Newman driving a dodge challenger.
3 driver
4 ronin
5 the blues brothers. The most expensive car chase of all time with over 100 cars written off. Special mention for bullitt. The original and some say best car chase. Too many continuity errors ( the green beetle constantly in shot and hubcaps mysteriously disappearing and reappearing)
Nevertheless a great chase. |
