The heartbreak Kid, I have mentioned several times in the past on threads, excellent film, doubt its been on the tv in the last 10 years sadly, turned off the remake after 15 min, awful awful awful.

saw The Omen was on the other night, flicked over and it was a remake??!!
|
|
By:
definitely the peak of Charles Grodin's acting career, an absolute classic.
|
|
By:
Grodin a totally underated actor
Completely outshone De Niro in Midnight Run |

(the heartbreak kid ^)

By:
Psycho. Other than it being in colour, the director did a scene by scene exact remake. If you are only doing that, what is the fecking point?
|

By:
Mr Eboue bang on.
The Italian Job original is one of the classics. To use the name again should have been against the law imo. |
|
By:
Heartbreak Kid one of my fav films, your the first person on here thats even as much as heard of it when its bought up on threads.
|
|
By:
believe they are doing a remake of The Dam Busters, with any calssic film like that,
why do a remake (?) several times the original is still the best one. 2 remakes of King Kong, first one was awful, second one was ok, but still think original was best one. |

The Ladykillers, an ego trip by Tom Hanks....Sir Alec Guinness he ain't! agree partially. more a coen brothers ego trip than hanks. i still quite enjoyed it tho. |

By:
Eddie Albert was superb as Cybil S's dad too. Think he died only recently.

the scene in the study where he's trying to buy lenny off, "you're looking at a rich brick wall!" pure class.
|
|
By:
Actually I am quite pleased I have not seen it in such a long time I will enjoy it as much as the first time when I do get round to seeing it again.

i bought a copy on video years ago, must have watched it 40+ times (sad, I know..) last time was about a year ago. Genuine pleasure even after all those times. Fav scene is in the restaurant where breaks it off with Lila and loses it with the waiter ("No pecan pie!!??) but it's all excellent. Glad you are a fellow devotee.

|
By:
no one said psycho yet?
|
|
By:
Yep, nice to talk to someone with similar taste.
|
|
By:
I bet you get the video out & watch it again within the week :D
|
|
By:
yes, may have to watch it again soon, you're right. :)
Another film they should never have re-made is the Out of Towners, original with Jack Lemmon and Dandy Dennis was streets ahead of the remake with Stev Martin & Goldie Hawn. |
