One possibility - the Marlon Brando/Trevor Howard version of “Mutiny on the Bounty” was a pretty good remake of the original (Charles Laughton and Clark Gable).
Ok...suggestions from my movie buff wife:
The Thing
3:10 to Yuma
The Fly
Ocean’s 11
Except that it was an hour too long.
I would like Warner Bros. to purchase MGM. They are good about films. After all they own Turner Classic Movies, which is one of my favorite channels.
In addition, TimeWarner already has the rights to pre-1986 MGM films.
