How about 'The Wicker Man'?

Why oh why do Americans remake classic British films and bollox up each and every one of them. They hire people without a scrap of talent or cultural subtlety and mangle films that were acknowledged as superb and made by people who were among the best in the business. The British have Mike Hodges, the yanks have Mike Bay. I know which one I'd pick everytime, 'Morons From Outer Space' not withstanding. Let's just hope the *beep* don't try to remake 'The Long Good Friday', 'Scum', 'Quadrophenia' or 'Babylon'.

thankyou!!! that is what i say to everyone!!!

carter - was totally killed, the plot was old day "ronnie and reggie" type gritty gangland.
it was the 70's, caine was the perfect actor for it.

then you see like you said the new itialian job, again murdered,

WHY do they think you can AMERICANIZE landmark British films?
i could not watch the whole of the "new" get carter

Just keep your fingers crossed they don't decide to remake Richard Burton's vastly underrated 'Villain' either. Can you imagine an Americanized Vic Dakin (SHUDDER!!!!!)


'Culture, sophistication, a little bit more than an 'ot dog' You said it Bob!

The new Ocean's Eleven was terrible too. And so were the sequels to that crappy remake.
