There was a time when remakes of old movies were better than the original. The Three Godfathers comes to mind. Three productions over 25 years or so and each was better than the prior one.
Today, remakes suck and “original” movies are even worse.
Thank God of TCM and to a lesser degree The Encore Channels.
Yep...Good old TCM and AMC.
My Teenage Girl students are passionate about about two movies made in the late 30’s...Gone With The Wind, and the Wizard of Oz!
