    The original 1953 version of War of the Worlds was OK. In my humble opinion the later 2005 version with Tom Cruise was muuuuccchhh better story and special effects. I also actually enjoyed the TV series that recently came out.

    I really wanted to like the remake, but Tom Cruise.... ugh. Overacting again. I actually found the movie was boring and dragged in parts.

    Klaatu barada nikto! One of my fav movie lines ever.

    I liked both movies, but Keanu Reeves is no Michael Rennie. I just kept waiting for him to say "dude". :frog:
    Since the Bill and Ted movies I often thought Keanu Reeves lack of emotion in movies was kind of alien.

    The TV Reboot thread got me thinking. I voted Rockford Files, but immediately thought "Naw, they'd screw it up".
    But could they make it even better?

    Which made me think of movies where the remake was actually better. It is rare, but I will go first.

    True Grit
    True Grit was my first thought too.

    True Grit is one of the few remakes I think is substantially better than the original. Sorry for the Duke fans, but the Bridges version is better - better acting, better sets/costuming, better sound track, and its more accurate to the book they were made from. I wanted to see Bridges continue the Rooster Cogburn series to see how they'd do, but I guess the Cohen Bros only got the green light or had the gumption to remake one JW movie.
