Cool

I really don't understand why 're-makes' of classic movies are made. Are they ever truly successful ?

Let's think of a few...'Flight Of The Phoenix' sank without leaving a ripple, 'Get Carter' was so embarrassing it didn't even get a UK release, etc etc. And as for 'Memphis Belle'... [img]graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Why don't they try to re-make 'Casablanca'? Because you can't ....it is of its time, with the right actors, the right music, the right script, and you just can't recreate the time and the chemistry.

And I really don't think it can be done with 'The Dam Busters'.

Anyhow, just look at my avatar - you can't expect me to be unbiased !
