Posted November 30, 201113 yr Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I cannot understand why the Hollywood machine needs to keep remaking films - expecially when the originals aren't that old...I suppose it's just lack of creativity/originality. Anyway, today I found out that they are remaking Scarface......NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! WHY??????????? Can anyone name a film remake that was as good/better than the original....?

Which Scarface are you talking about? The most popular version was the 1980's classic with Al Pacino which itself was a remake of the original 1932 version. Quite an irony really if you refer to the remake.
November 30, 201113 yr Author Lord of the rings? or was that a TV series many years ago? I think that was a cartoon? I'm thinking more along the lines of Karate Kid, I spit on your Grave, Last House on the Left, Bad Lieutenant, Italian Job, Footloose (?!), Alfie, Arthur, Assault on Precinct 13 and so on...just a few that have been done in the last few years. Just leave 'em alone for FFS!! I suppose they did go through that phase of remaking 50's B-Movies in the 80s - I most were pretty good - The Thing, The Fly etc
November 30, 201113 yr Some of my favourites include Casino Royale, The Fly, The Thing, The Departed, Cape Fear and of course, as I have already mentioned, Scarface.

November 30, 201113 yr I suppose it can be good in some ways, bringing a dated version into the 21st century and appealing to a larger audience, but it has been a bit overdone nowadays.
