Re-makes are seldom as good as the original. People seem to think nothing is worth watching unless there is sex, gore and nudity.
Give me a good story, good script and actors who fit their parts. My imagination can add the rest!!

I recently watched Brief Encounter as part of a recent Coward/Lean film course with Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard being deliciously buttoned up and English.
Apparently there was a remake with Sophia Loren and Richard Burton ?
Spoiler alert - they didn’t remain buttoned up ???

It was my misfortune to catch the 1973 remake of Lost Horizon with added singing and dancing. I thought it was awful! The original, however, was full of mystery and tension. This got me thinking about other bad remakes, for example Psycho. Do you know of other turkey remakes?
