Remakes
I'm quite excited for the new vision of Evil Dead. The poster boasts that it will be "The most terrifying film you will ever see". Same producers and looks like they've made it less slapstick.
Also, new Carrie is said to be closer to the novel and has been superbly casted.
From the not too bad Texas Chainsaw to the genre raping Nightmare on Elm Street what are your favourite and worst remakes of movies.
Alt. Same for cover songs. I love Placebo's version of Where Is My Mind
Go!

Alt: my pal Richard bullied Brian Molko until he cried at a party once.
Best cover songs: Led Zeppelin's entire output*, 'Black Betty' by Ram Jam, 'Give Her a Great Big Kiss' by the New York Dolls, Hendrix's covers (Dylan, Troggs, Beatles, Chuck Berry etc), 'Tomorrow Never Knows' by the Pink Fairies, there are fucking millions.
Special mention goes to Psychic TV: their covers of 'Are You Experienced' (with the vocals by Genesis P Orridge's 12 year old daughter) and the Button Moon theme are easily two of the most truly unsettling songs I have heard.
*this is a very 'knowing, blues expert wanker' comment. I'm one of those, you know.

I'm with Chompy, I've never seen a remake that has particularly added anything to the original.
Cover versions of songs... there are a few I think improve on the original, but then I'll merely get called a fucking idiot heathen by Monty, and it's a nice afternoon so I can't be bothered.

The remake was terrible. Too much emphasis on him being a paedo. Terrible CGI. Jackie Early Hayley was a decent freddie.

I know of neither the original, or the re-make,
take your crazy cult b-movies somewhere else, and stop making me feel inadequate. :(

As a martial arts film collector I have two distinct viewpoints.
The modern, big-budget epics need to be in Chinese and subtitled for gravitas. However proper old-skool kung fu films have to be overdubbed for that vintage experience.

I have to watch almost all films dubbed these days,
due to the ladypig being partially sighted. I have also mastered reading incidental subtitles in films in inappropriate voices to wind her up.

A mates band did a more guitar-y cover of Eleanor Rigby
for a Christmas gig which was far better than the original, and they kept getting asked to play it but they weren't really sure of their legal position. Every so often they'd just go "fuck it" and play it.

I hate all of the War of the World films.
Since that's the case, I actually didn't mind the Tom Cruise version any more than I minded the 50s version.
I re-read the book recently and it'd make an excellent film without changing location or time period. There are some wonderful set pieces in there that'd be brilliant on screen.

You don't think that'd be cool?
See also the crossing of the river, or the tripods smoking out the gun emplacements.
The original book had the aliens adapting their tactics precisely because we were hurting them. All of the films have made them invincible until they catch colds.

Indeed, because the book encourages you to use your imagination, whereas the film mostly doesn't .
