The Big Sleep: Have you seen the original and remake? Which one is better?

There can be little question that the original is far, far superior.  This is perhaps one of the best film noirs of all time, filmed at the height of that period's artistic crest.  Bogart, too, is vastly to superior in the noir style and is his overall acting chops.  The cinematography, though certainly more primitive in the original, is just as effective, and even charming given the fact that this is a "true" noir.  In my opinion, even the supporting cast and scoring are better in the original.  Yes, I have a pretty strong opinion on this, but to me it's a no-brainer.  Some remakes offer at least a new take or, with the advancement of technology, a new look for an already fine film, but not this one.  This was simply a vanity project for a popular star of the time, with the studio trying to make a quick buck on rehashing a classic with their latest meal ticket.

Pseudo Echo's remake of Funkytown is much better than the original.\n\nFYI

Its known as 'House on the Haunted Hill'. Ofcourse its a remake as the orginal one was in 1959.

The departed was a great movie, but a remake of a asian movie called the Internal affairs (2002). When I watched Internal affairs I thought what a great movie it was .. and how popular it would be if it was an american film with american actors .. I still think the original was better .. the suspense .. but I wasnt surprised when The Departed was also good. \n\nBest wishes..

Yes.  It was really good.  Usually, sequels are horrible, but this one has new material that is as good as the first, but not redundant.  It has a really good twist at the end.  A lot of it is pretty freaky.  Without spoiling it for you, there's something in it that has scared me from ever checking to see who is at the door!\n\nI really suggest picking it up and giving it a chance.

Definately the book, it is better. If you see the movie first, you will have preconceived notions of how things should be portrayed and it doesn't do the book justice.

Gotta go with The Hills Have Eyes.  The orginal was creepy, so the remake might be darn good.\nHappy viewing!!!

Can't beat the British version, but the American version was a fairly good remake.

The 2005 movie was good, but the Broadway show is much better!  The original movie definitely was good, but ahead of its time (although it has a cult following).  I enjoy most Mel Brooks movies, but not all.

Out of all the remakes I have seen..... this one by far is the best... next to 'Amittyville Horror'! It is JUST like the original, the only difference is the fact that the colors POP! In the original, with the time it was made, the colors were not as bright and vibrant. Oh and I think the way the symbol 666 looks is different too...... but it looks better! I loved it!! I grew up with the original and I loved that movie..... so naturally you would think that the remake would suck.... WRONG!! It was great... you should go and see it!!!! :)

signs - i have forgotten most about the movie but i didn't really find it that frightening. it's just kind of eerie and spooky but not downright frightening.\n\nblair witch - aahh... what a controversy. the way the camera was handled makes your head spin a bit. it is interesting, but again, not that scary, for me at least. but it has its moments, if you could feel for the characters.\n\nthe ring - which one? the japanese original was a low-budget film but it really delivered for me. the most hair-raising part was the one at the end. the american version was not that good for me. the scare factor just wasn't there...\n\nthe omen - again, which one? the original or the remaker? i haven't seen the remake just yet but the original was okay for me. i still like the exorcist more not only because of the special effects but because of the whole plot overall.\n\nsixth sense - like the movie signs, i have forgotten almost everything about the movie except for the line, "i see dead people" and that a main character was actually dead. it's a good movie.\n\nthere you go... i'm more of a zombie fan than anything but i do like horror movies/suspense movies in general. :)

See the original.  I love a good horror and suspense but this wasn't scary or suspenseful.  There were a few scenes where the filmmakers throw out some stuff that makes you jump in your seat a little, but it's really just the shock of going from the slow boring stuff, to a dog jumping out of no where.\n\nI love the original movie.  This remake was for the most part poorly acted by the cast, with the exception of mia farrow and Liev Schreiber.  There were also a few scenes where most of the audience was laughing and it was obvious that the director did not intend for the scene to be humorous in any way.  The director was actually in attendance and i felt really bad for him.\n\nI would never tell anyone not to go see a movie, you should see it and form your own opinion.  But, don't expect too much!

OK, Superman movies will never be known for the quality of the acting.  So that basically leaves us with story and effects.  The original "Superman" had a better story as it got to set up the whole background.  Without the background there wasn't much left of the story.  Besides, like you said, we all knew the story already anyway.  With that said, the newer version "Superman Returns" is a much better and more exciting movie.

I dont watch scary movies either or else i cant sleep and totally freak myself out, but i just got back from this one and its not as scary as the original.  It had a handful of individual moments that made me scream out loud, lol, but nothing with long lasting damage.  I agree with a previous comment, they softened it, mostly by taking out the creepy gregorian chants.  Its the perfect amount of scary, just go with a friend.  Definately talk with someone about something else afterwords.
