Wow, you've brought to mind some classics - and I don't mean classic filmmaking, I mean classic campy stories. Your thoughts on the remakes? My thought - why??

RosieCotton05/19/2005

I reckon you mean "English-language remakes of English-language films."

dgeiser1305/19/2005

Not neceesarily.

You have just rocked my world. They're really remaking Police Academy and Revenge of the Nerds? *Sigh* I suppose it has retro cred with the younger ones now. I suddenly feel just that much older.

RosieCotton06/17/2005

I just discovered that Ali: Fear Eats the Soul is a remake of All That Heaven Allows.

DarkmanPoe09/25/2006

Ah, you stole my idea. I was gonna compose a list of every remake ever...but...you did a nice job. You should do this by year...it'd be scary to see the glut of remakes in recent years. Scary and sad.

DarkmanPoe09/25/2006

*Psst, you forgot "Down to Earth" starring Chris Rock...a remake of "Heaven Can Wait" starring Warren Beatty. Don't ask me why I just thought of that.
