Question for those under 18

How many films that have been re-made have you seen the original of?

Examples: The Fog, The Italian Job, Ladykillers, The Fly, Get Carter, Psycho, Shaft, Ocean's Eleven, The Ring, Planet of the Apes and the latest ones like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, King Kong, War of the Worlds The Omen and Poseidon. (There are plenty more I am sure that I am unaware of or can't remember.)

Have you seen both? Which did you prefer?

Ok..so I've seen The Lady Killers....with Tom hanks..I'm assuming that wasn't the origianl, but it was funny and much enjoyed!! I've seen Oceans Eleven! I didn't know that was a remake...so I haven't seen the origial, but without even seeing it I have to say I already like the new version better..with a movie like that the technology in this day and age is better!

Charlie and the Chocalate factory...Willy Wonka and the Chocalate family, LOVED it when I was younger, the new one, Charlie and the chocalate factory looked stupid

Poseidon...Seen the latest version...thought it was really good....funny you asked this..I'm gunna borrow the original from someone this weekend..I'll get back to it

THe one I did see Both the original and re-make was The Longest Yard....The original was way more funnier!

-Oceans Eleven [saw old and new. they were okay]
-The Ring (Ringu) [saw both. loved both]
-Planet of the Apes [liked older one better for some reason]
-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory [liked new one. the old one was scary]
-King Kong [new one. old one was sooo cheesy. and that made it hilarious]
-War of the Worlds [liked new one better]
-The Omen [haven't seen the new one yet]

Hi Bret Im over 18 but thought I would respond anyhoo

Seen original Psycho not the new one - terrified me as a youngster.

Have seen both Planet of the Apes...crap crap crap didnt really rate either of the two.

Seen the Omen original actually really enjoyed it and am looking forward to seeing the new one.

Psycho - I've only seen the original... cracked me up... actually, i didn't know whether to scream or laugh at the 'scary' bits

The Ring - I tried watching Ring O but, I think that might have been a prequel. Anyway, I liked the remake better but only because, reading the subtitles kind of distracted me from becoming scared.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - I hate both versions. Oompa Loompas scare me.

King Kong - Haven't seen the original but I do want to... might get a little boring though

House of Wax - DYING to see the original, after that... THING with the Hilton.

The Omen - I'm gonna watch it, hopefully this weekend but, I couldn't even get through the original after the scene with the babysitter and the birthday. "It's all for you!" UGH!!! Scary!!!

I have seem a lot of original films as I feel they are the classics, and can never be beaten, and some recent films sre spoilt with over the top special effetcs.

Wow I am really young I have no idea what Omen is...OH YES I DO! spoke to soon......I AM NOT SEEING THAT...is that the one that just came out with Julia styles!? HELL NO! that looked so scary I'll have to go back to when I was little and sleep with daddy cause I'm scared!!

LMAO Jackie..oompa loompas scare you!? THEY DID ME TOO!...well when I was little

Ummmmmmmmm.....
Well I've seen the original of charlie and the chocolate factory, I like it, the new one was a mick take lol. That's all I can think of :(

I've actually seen alot of originals
-the omen...seen the original, but I'm afraid to see the new one because they probably slaughtered one of my all time favorites.
-amityville horror- seen both, like the old one a little better though.
-The hills have eyes- only seen the original
-Texas chain saw massacre- original is better
-king kong-newer one
-dawn of the dead- newer one
-charlie and the choclate factory- newer one
-the fly (there was a remake? where have I been?)
- and the fog- I've only seen the original

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-Newer
King Kong-Newer
Romeo and Juliet-definately the old one

i have seen every one ever created.

i saw the new & original of Psycho and like the older one better.
& also, I liked Charlie & the chocolate factory more than Willy Wonka

Well...to be honest I never bother to look up whether a film is a remake.

But, I happened to see the old, black and white Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, and I LOOOVVEEEDDD it.

Of course, I immediately rented the remake, or "young" version. I ABSOLUTELY HATED IT!!
However the director was, he ruined a masterpiece!

Sorry to be nasty, but that film was gross.
Adam Sandler just couldn't do what Cary Grant did.
(Cary Grant, wasn't it?)
Anyway, I had to get that out. It's not that I'm a Deeds fan, it's just that the first film was fantastic, and the modern version...was horrible.

-Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Pretty much everyone above the age of 10 has probably seen the original...)
-Poseidon (It was a masterpiece, also one of the best literature pieces ever to be know. First Epic.)

I have seen both CC's, but I have not seen the new Poseidon. Our English class agreed to only see the Original. Also like Romeo and Juliet, we saw the Original. And you missed one...

I really do forget the name, but its with Jack Nichelson (Sorry for my bad spelling) and they go to a huge house, and the boy has this voice inside of him? Uh, I really don't 'member the name. But, I have seen the Original.

I haven't seen any of those you mentioned, except the ones I have stated up there, New or Original. But if I had the choice, I would see the Original. Its sad how each clever and great movies are being reproduced, and loosing its Original Essence.

I think most originals are better than new ones. I don't know but it's like the new ones come with better technology and everything...better quality, but they lost the natural touch oldies have.

For films I saw both of:
* The Italian Job
*Psycho
*Ocean's Eleven
*The Ring
*Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
*King Kong
*War Of The Worlds (Liked the new one)
*The Omen
*Poseidon (Liked new one better)

-The oldies were better for the rest.

I've seen both of these:
Psycho - I liked the older version
Shaft - Older version
Ocean's Eleven - New version
The Ring - Neither
Planet of the Apes - New version
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - I liked both
King Kong - I didn't like either
War of the Worlds - Older version
Amityville Horror - The older version was way better, I watched it when I was 8 or so, it scared the hell out of me.
