remakes

The Fly was a good example of a good re-make. Excellent 50's B-movie turned into an excellent box office smash.

Payback

Bourne Identity

Oceans Eleven


On the subject of Get Carter, was their another version made of it called The Limey starring Terence Stamp and I think Peter Fonda.

Payback was (I think) a remake of the Lee Marvin flick Point Blank, if it's not then the team involved should be sued for plagarism.

another was body heat,the orig was double indemnity im sure,barbara stanwyck.

[Holden MacGroyn]

It was definately a remake of Point Blank.

Here's one; The Italian Job. HTF did the Americans think they could remake this and get away with it!
Set in L.A from what I hear!....The Italian Job via LAX....slags.
