Post remakes that you think are better than the originals, I'll post a few, feel free to debate. (I know you will anyway)
>>72069989
Scarface
Ghostbusters
>>72069989
This too.
>>72070022
I have yet to see the original. I have it on my long list of "To Watch"
>>72069989
true but both are excellent for different reasons
>>72070001
False, but still solid
>>72070022
true
>>72070063
meme
>>72070119
true
one that i'm gonna shut down right away, the original The Fly is a 50's scifi masterpiece that the 80's bodyhorror could not surpass
>>72069989
>>72070211
I couldn't get into the original Hills Have Eyes, it wasn't bad, the idea there was great and I think the remake really fulfilled what the original wanted to do with the newer technology etc. The family in the first one seems too, idk, "Hillbilly" esque rather than irradiated effects of atomic testing.
>>72069989
The Thing (2011) had shit pacing, and lacked the slow burning intensity of the original.
>>72071372
point at this pleb and laugh
inb4 HURR I TROLL YOU
>>72069989
Was there a remake from the 80's that wasn't good?
>>72069989
WRONG. WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG QFONG. YOURE SO WRONG ABOUT THE THING REMAKE BEING BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL I SPENT WRONG "QFONG".
>>72070211
>the original The Fly is a 50's scifi masterpiece that the 80's bodyhorror could not surpass
nope, the original just looked too shitty. Maybe if I'd seen the original first I'd have a different opinion but I doubt it.
>>72071372
I mean the 80's one was better than the 50's one. The 2011 version is just a decent compliment to the 80's one.
>>72071475
This. Great fucking movie.
Maltese Falcon is kind of a remake, the 31 version is alright but nowhere near the 41.
>>72069989
Good call. Carpenter's version was fantastic.
>>72069989
The remake of The Thing has Space Jam tier cgi
In no particular order:
>Halloween 1
>The Hills Have Eyes
>Evil Dead
>the 90's night of the living dead
>>72071372
>>72071372
It was a prequel you fuck.
Can we just have a The Thing thread?
>>72069989
your father should beat you more often, child
>>72072097
or, if you're a mulatto, your mother's cuck should beat you more often.
>>72072097
the 80's version IS better than the 50's version. John Carpenter's is the best.
>>72069989
Not as good as the book desu, and it doesn't have a dumb anticlimactic ending
>>72072409
Gotta read it still.

you really like the original 50's version with the plant monster huh?

>>72072570
I was gonna be mad at your insistence that the fly remake is better than the original Fly, but you outed yourself as a pleb anyway
>>72072533
You're just a nostalgia fag. Re-watch the first Halloween's again and I'm almost positive you'll change your tune. Evil Dead: remake is even better than the original because the dark humor is subtle. I think you're the one with shit taste anon.
>>72072570
The first half of the first half of king Kong was fire
>>72072625
nostalgia is the worst argument
the Halloween remake isn't terrible but it cannot generate suspense nearly as well as the original, the fact that you prefer the zombie version means you probably have ADD and can't handle any films older than 1980
the Evil Dead remake misses the entire point of the franchise and plays the whole thing too straight. not terrible but not fun or well directed at all.
Thought Funny Games US was better than the original
>>72069989
>>72071848
fucking plebs

I agree, Howard Hawks truly made the definitive "The Thing" experience!
>>72071746
>>72071848
I really, really hope you two are baiting.
Aliens ( a crypto remake of Them!)
Predator ( a crypto remake of Most Dangerous Game)
>>72072712
Ironically, I actually have adhd, maybe that explains it. Suspense is overrated in my opinion, but I enjoy many movies older than 80's, shout out to The Town That Dreaded Sundown. But with the evil dead remake it's twofold:
>modern audiences can't handle evil dead 2 schlock
>evil dead 1 did not age well
The remake plays it straight in tone only. That immortal Jesus guy makes .e laugh every time he never dies, and by killing the hero they save themselves from having Ash as a superhero. I enjoyed it because the special effects were on point, and it's much better paced. I like the original, but I respect what the remake accomplished.
>>72072625
Not that anon but I re-watched Halloween less than two weeks ago and besides Laurie's stupidity it perfectly holds up. The remake is a load of fucking shit that only drooling retards could prefer. It completely ruins Michael Myers and it replaces the suspense of the original with gore and "FUCK".
>>72072314
*was
>>72072924
>I actually have adhd
That pretty much explains everything.
Taking a Risk here...what do you think/tv/
>>72072569
I really hope you're baiting. Cameron fucking Diaz? GTFO
>>72072924
>actually have ADHD
yeah that makes sense, you probably like Alien over Aliens and T2 over The Terminator too
Evil Dead one holds up incredibly well because of the fun experimental camera angles and fun low budget practicals, the new film just comes across as one step above generic.
>>72073079
I'm a huge John Wayne nostalgia guy, but I can step outside that and agree with you.
>>72073079
you'll get shit for it from /tv/ autists who see the original through rose tinted glasses, but you are objectively correct.
>>72073079
This is the right answer
>>72073141
Aliens over Alien*
>>72073079
I don't think you're right or wrong, they're equally good films.
>>72073141
>the new film just comes across as one step above generic.
That not anon but I wouldn't be that dismissive of the remake. It's nowhere near as great as the original Evil Dead films but it's pretty good. It's far better than 99% of 21st century horror remakes although that isn't saying much.
>>72073141
You nailed it, fair enough, I guess the problem is on my end. In all honesty, I mostly enjoy practical special effects. Most horror movies are shallow in terms of plot, and suspense often comes off as forced as a result of technical limitations. The Conjuring, on the other hand, was really fucking good, but it might just be that subsonic bass making me think it's better than it is.
>>72073085
Not baiting.
I think it's the soundtrack combined with higher production values that just works so many times better for me.
>>72073141
>you probably like Alien over Aliens
tell me you got this backwards
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
It's certainly more frightening on many levels
>>72073419
I did, I'm used to saying I prefer Alien over Aliens that I automatically typed it like that
>>72073378
check out Point Break and Starship Troopers if you haven't already, I think they are movies you'd like (unless you are a horror movies only kind of guy)
>>72073406
I agree with you about the production values, spanish ones are shit tier
>>72071746
I get that film is subjective but it's practically fact that the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is better than the remake in every single way. I have no idea how anyone could prefer the generic remake over the original film.
>>72071848
I would shit all over you but since you have ADHD you can't help preferring fast paced garbage over slow-paced atmospheric films. Although the original Evil Dead has a really fast pace so you preferring the remake is inexcusable.
Although both were
amazing, i prefere the western version
>>72073480
I've seen and love both. You have pretty good taste anon. Any super deep cuts? Like deeper than From Beyond? I've seen just about everything 80's and early 90's.
This.
>>72073563
not him but you should probably check out Strange Days if you haven't already
What's the difference between a remake and a reboot?

Hey guys, can I join this thread? This was so much better than the 1960 film. Yes, even with the rat pack.
>>72073589
I actually haven't. I'll go check it out tonight. Thanks anon!
>>72073604
Remake is Magnificent Seven (60s) to Magnificent Seven (10s)
Reboot is aborting you and your parents making a new son that would satisfy them.
>>72073604
Comic book movies don't count.

Also, this was better in every way than the 60's version. I do give credit to Corman for the original idea though, he just didn't have the money or the technology to make the kind of film he wanted. But the practical effects in this version are incredible. Just read some of the behind the scenes for how they made the plant work.
>>72073563
honestly just scratched the surface of horror, and what I do like I know you probably wouldn't.
Try Sleepaway Camp, The Burning, Dagon, Nosferatu Remake, The last house on dead end street, and Special Effects

A remake follows (mostly) the same story as the original, with directorial changes and probably nods to the original
A reboot is to tell a new (but somehow related to the original) story of a character or situation
A difficult case, for example, would be The Taking of Pelham 123
>>72073839
and yet the top video holds more emotional weight because the characters were written better
>>72073853
the 80's Scarface was a remake and doesn't fall into either of those.
>>72073839
>implying action sequences make a good Film
Wew lad
4/10
Made me reply
>>72073889
>the characters were written better
The characters in the first Star Wars were goofy cartoon cutouts and the dialogue was awful for the most part, George Lucas is a shit writer. It wasn't until The Empire Strikes back that writing got good thanks to Kasdan and Leigh Brackett.

>what do I go first or you go first?
>>72073936
Yeah, I think you're right, that an Pelham could be called a "Re-imagining" of the original film?
>>72073853
>A difficult case, for example, would be The Taking of Pelham 123
But that isn't diffuclt at all. The remake was shit. It's not rocket surgery, anon.
>>72074073

>>72074177
I was saying that is difficult to classify it as a remake or as a reboot, seeing that it doesn't follow the story (except fo the obvious taking of the fucking train) or the tone of the original
>>72073642
>>72073737
Really OP? You've been zealously replying to everyone in the thread but I don't get a single you for my contributions? I was ready for you to tear me a new asshole so I could defend my opinions.
>>72074315
I haven't replied to anyone in like 2 hours.
>>72074434
Oh, I thought the guy defending the 50s version of the fly and calling everyone's taste shit was you
>>72074471
that would be me, and you are right on both posts
>>72071372
> he fell for it guise point at him and laugh. Our film knowledge is clearly superior than that of this pleb
>>72074471
Nah famalam
>>72069989
Nothing will beat John Carpenter or Kurt Russel. No one asked for a thing remake. No one asked for a robocop remake.
>>72074785
another reply to the pleb pile
>>72074538
Cool, thanks. I thought for some reason you were going to start defending the original Oceans 11. EO ELEVEN
>>72071848
>Evil Dead
Remake had more humor, but not on 2's level, but most of it is just lifted from the orig; at least Dawn of the Dead remake only kept Zombies and The Mall as concepts and changed everything else. TEDR hits most of the points of the original with marginal changes, and had worse camera tech.
It gets a "not shit, but not recommended if there's anything else to watch"
Crispin Glover should be everywhere.
Carpenter's The Thing is a remake of The Thing From Another World in name only. There are almost no similarities.
>>72072712
>the Evil Dead remake misses the entire point of the franchise and plays the whole thing too straight.
but the original was meant to be a straight horror movie to begin with.
The remake was meant to take the series back to its straight horror roots, though I absolutely love the increasingly silly sequels and Ash Vs. Evil Dead a lot.
>>72075294
Besides it still had its silly moments. I don't buy that stuff like the guy who gets abused the entire movie wasn't intentional.
