Pelham 123
Re: Pelham 123
What is it with all these (mostly pointless and inferior) remakes of classic films? Are they running out of decent story ideas?
Is it any wonder that the monkey's confused?
Re: Pelham 123
I still rate Pelham 123 as one of the best films I've ever seen - I have no desire ever to watch the remake, same line as I've taken with that other classic 'The Wicker Man'.

Re: Pelham 123
Why trade on the name ? Is the scenario and the characters similar broadly speaking ? If so it's not an 'inspired by' in my book.
Re: Pelham 123
Would be fairly pointless re-making since a large part of its effect would have been due to feelings of impending apocalypse which seemed quite plausible at the time ie there was a synergy with the mood of the time, the zeitgeist.
