Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 The original one has just been on tv again, absolute classic. What do you reckon Charlie's "great idea" is at the end as they are hanging over the edge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 175 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 the "remake" was a disgrace to the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyluke 2 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 It looked a great film, unfortunately I was knackered so I kept dropping off! Noel Coward is great in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11063 Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 his great idea will be to move one gold bar at a time, sliding it along the floor I'd guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Result? gold slides further away / bus falls to doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Thought the remake was a good film in itself, but not a patch on the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 How many remakes are as good as the original??? And almost no remake is BETTER than the original IMHO 71899[/snapback] Which ones are then? I reckon A Fistful of Dollars is better than Yojimbo and Scarface (De Palma) is better than Scarface (Hawks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Well Magnificent Seven is a different take on Seven Samurai its the straight copies I can't stand "get Carter" for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 The Phsyco remake is sublime. Shot for shot identical to the original, no point in it whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you reckon Charlie's "great idea" is at the end as they are hanging over the edge? 71793[/snapback] As a boy, I can recall being sooooooo frustrated at the end of that movie. I wanted so much for them to get away with it and was devastated when the bus ended up in its predicament. The 'plan' would surely have been to get the skinniest member of the gang to slide and get one bar of gold at a time, whilst the rest got as far forward to counter-balance him???? Surely one of the best movies of all time. 'you're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 175 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings is far better than the 70's animated version, and also personally speaking the new King Kong is better than the original too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally 0 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Charlie and the chocolate factory. 72355[/snapback] The old one is one of my all time kids favourites, I thought the new one was no where near as good.

Craig 6700 Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Thomas Crown Affair - the original stinks of donkey shit! And I agree with Oceans 11 as well - the original is nowhere near as good as the remake but I put that one down to the special effects. Thomas Crown Affair was simply a better film 2nd time around... plus it had Rene Russo - now there's a MILF if ever I saw one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
