Best and Worst Movie Remakes Blogfest



Most of the time, remakes just leave something to be desired. I cringe whenever I hear someone say they want to remake The Princess Bride or Gone With the Wind.

Example of a bad remake:


They should have left well enough alone.

On the other hand, sometimes they get it right.

 The original was a great movie.

But I found this to be a hilarious updated version.
It's hard to believe that even this one is nearly 20 years old now.


How about you? What're your favorite and least favorite movie remakes?

  4. There could in my opinion be only one Pink Panther film and that's with Peter Sellers, he made that fime the success it was no other person comes close.

  9. I liked 'The Pink Panther' remake but nobody does it like Sellers. I also enjoyed the remake of 'Sabrina', but I don't think I have ever seen the original.

  10. You actually picked my Ultimate Favorite Movie of All Time, and that would be the new Sabrina with Harrison Ford. I've probably seen that movie about 800 times. :)

    I also love, love, love the new Tron, but I'm not sure that's a remake as much as a continuation.

  11. I loved those old Pink Panther movies. Peter Sellers was genius. :)

  12. Peter Sellers was a master making the Pink Panther. Steve Martin is just...what a waste.
    Thank you for participating in the blogfest! :)

  14. I'm not sure the remake of Sabrina was better, but it was definitely just as good. Very well done!

  19. I agree the new Sabrina was nice but the old one wasn't bad. Sorry I love Steve Martin in anything but that's probably just me. LOL

  20. I thought the SABRINA remake was good, too. But as for PANTHER...ewww.

  21. I loved Sabrina (both old and new) and I was pleasantly surprised by the new Gatsby.

  22. Very interesting, I picked your best as my worst. I thought the original Sabrina was a delightful picture but the remake left me cold. Which surprised me because I'm a big Harrison Ford fan and I really wanted to like it.

    I do agree with you on the Pink Panther.

  23. No one can top Sellers Donna. Sweet choices.

  24. I agree on Pink Panther and never saw either Sabrina.

  26. Thanks for sharing your worst movie mistakes. I saw a remake of Dirty Dancing and was apalled.

  27. I haven't seen the remake of Sabrina, but I did recently watch the original for the first time. Loved it. :)

    Haven't seen either Pink Panther. But I'm fairly sure I'd hate a remake of the Princess Bride as it's one of my fave movies of all time.
