Old Movies vs. New Movies

Here's an obvious one: Hitchcock's 'Psycho' or the crappy 1998 version?

Hitchcock (1960)--I have taste.

Gus van Sant (1998)--the more graphic masturbation scene was totally necessary! THAT'S what the original was missing!

All right, less people know about this: "Shop Around the Corner" (1940) or the sappy, modernized "You've Got Mail" (1998)?

"Shop Around the Corner"

"You've Got Mail"

Can't decide.

The original smarmy Miracle on 34th St. (1947), starring Maureen O' Hara as Doris Walker, or the newest version (1994), starring Elizabeth Perkins as "Dorey" Walker.

1947--Doris all the way.

1994--I like that annoying little girl from the new version.

Can't decide.

Doris.

Dorey.

The Stepford Wives: Creepy 1975 version or weird, awkwardly humorous 2004 version?

1975--It was made more in regards to the Women's Rights Movement, and that makes it interesting.

2004--I like Nicole Kidman. Better effects picked up where the 1975 version left off.

Can't decide.

The Manchurian Candidate--the 1962 or 2004 version?

1962--The fact that it was filmed during an era when all this seemed very possible makes it extra thrilling.

2004--Me likee color.

Can't decide.

Hayley Mills and Hayley Mills or Lindsay Lohan and Lindsay Lohan?

1961--Because it's cheesy without being moronic.

1998--The new 'Parent Trap'. Also made by Disney.

Can't decide.

Freaky Friday 1976 starring Jodie Foster, who managed to play a child prostitute and a cutesy Family Movie heroine in the same year...or Freaky Friday 2003, starring Lindsay Lohan and the ghoulish Jamie Lee Curtis?

Freaky Friday 1976

Freaky Friday 2003

Can't decide.

Cape Fear 1962, with Robert Mitchum or Cape Fear 1991, with Robert de Niro?

1962

1991

Can't decide!

The Haunting, 1963, or The Haunting, 1999? What about The House on Haunted Hill, 1959, and The House on Haunted Hill, 1999? Are you aware that though these are two entirely separate movies, the Haunting also goes by the title The Haunting of Hill House?

No, I didn't know that. How confusing.

Duh. What, you can't keep the Haunting of House on the Haunted Hill House straight from House of Haunted Hills and Houses?

Night of the Living Dead 1968 or Night of the Living Dead 1990?

Braaaaaiiiiins...

Little Women 1933, starring Katharine Hepburn, Frances Dee, and others, Little Women 1949, starring Janet Leigh, Elizabeth Taylor, and others, or Little Women 1994, starring Kirsten Dunst, Winona Ryder...and others.

1933

1949

1994
