Best Film Remake? - Page 5 - Blu-ray Forum

The Aviator isn't an option?

If it was, I'd vote for it.

A LOT of people HATED the Scorsese remake w/ Leo, but I felt Leo got the part down pat better than anything he's done since Gilbert Grape. People give Leo a lot of shit, but forget that with the right direction he really is one of the better actors of our time.

I LOVED Scorsese's The Aviator. Totally needs to be on the list.

Oh, and YES I know this is an opinion thread and everyone is entitled to their own opinion....

But who would vote for the blatant ripoff of the classic Alfred Hitchcock film "Rear Window"? We're talking about a film that was inspirational in the manner in which director's shot their scenes for years to come....it's one of the greatest films of all time, bar none period....and someone...even just ONE vote for Disturbia over Rear Window, is like...THE most blasphemous thing I have ever seen against Film as Art in general.

BAD FORM.

to each their own, but....man that just don't sit right with me.

About April Fool's Day remake dont watch it. It really felt like another Wild Things sequel. I only gave it a chance b/c of Scout Taylor Compton from RZ Halloween.

i love JCVD movies.. i still watch them to this day, even the one with dennis rodman and mickey rouke.

i own universal soldiers, and street fighter on blu now.. i kno i kno street fighter but i actually enjoyed it and thought he played a good guile... i can't wait for kickboxer,double impact, lionheart, sudden death to turn blu

Andyman1970, i just saw the teaser for H2, its basically the same as Halloween too, sometimes classic need to be left alone... i actually read a while back that tom cruise had a lot of interest in doing a remake to Jaws and he would be playing rob Schneider character.. i was like oh boyyy
