Americanized Remakes - Blu-ray Forum

There is NEVER, I repeat NEVER a good reason to remake a movie that is already great! My fellow Americans need to broaden their horizons and watch the originals, if they cant watch those movies on their own then they shouldnt be awarded the favor of having them remade in America

I completely agree with you. There are so many great films that have had incredibly poor remakes made, and there are others (Citizen Kane) who are rumored to have remakes on the way. Just leave the originals alone.

That being said, although I think 12 Angry Men is one of the top 5 best films of all time, I am very interested to see the German remake that was made two years ago called '12.' I heard it was very good.
