Although, sometimes a remake can be good, if done well, as it means the story will be brought to a whole new audience.


Speaking of the Manchurian Candidate...

I bought the DVD of the original yesterday, for about 5 quid in HMV.

Watched it this afternoon. Still a classic. Sinatra is great, & Angela "Murder She Wrote" Lansbury is just...scary.


I'm still interested in seeing the new version, if only to see how it compares.
