Remakes better than the original.

Overruled.

I was referring to the 1960 version, not the 2016 remake of the remake.

I thought the 1960 version was the original. Unless you're referring to the underlying Samurai tale it ripped off?

What do you mean? I was transported to Mongolia by this performance.

Filming that movie caused the early death of a bunch of people working on it because they filmed it down wind of a nuclear testing site

Nope. Remake of a Japanese film called the Seven Samurai.

True story.

To be fair, John Wayne couldn't act.

So we got someone here saying Matt Damon>>>>>Glen Campbell and Bridges>>>>John Wayne and
They like the feel good ending where the girl loses her arm.

Barry Pepper over Robert Duvall is even more blasphemous.

But just as accurate.

Aliens & The Road Warrior.

As much as I like the original True Grit, I think the remake was a better movie.

What else you got?

Same here. Jeff Bridges is one of thee best actors of his generation IMO.

We are talking remakes, not sequels.

Pre-emptive strike:

Hell no, the new Dune is not better.

Roadhouse seems like it has a good chance.

Fun fact; Seven Samurai wasn't the only popular Akira Kurosawa film to get remade into a successful Western (The Magnificent Seven)

Kurosawa's Yojimbo was remade into A Fistful Of Dollars.

Occasionaly, Turner Classic Movies will do a Japanese film marathon or something Kurosawa related but that's about it. You mostly have to find them yourself nowadays
