The Talented Mr. Ripley is sort of a remake of a French film called Purple Noon (both movies were adapted from the same book), which isn’t bad. Alain Delon is quite dashing in it. And though I loved the recent Hairspray, isn’t it kind of a remake of the non-musical Hairspray?

And I knew you would mention Mockingbird! Regarding Beautiful Mind, I don’t think anyone else would be able to play Nash so well. Crowe was robbed!

I’m also going to add another Redford great THE GREAT GATSBY. A&E tried to do a remake. *groan* Big Mistake!

Leave TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD alone. One of the few movie adaptations of books I truly appreciate. Gregory Peck was brilliant.

A BEAUTIFUL MIND. This is my favorite movie of all time. I’ve not ever seen such a profound approach to film from all parties involved: directors, producers, actors, EVERY. LAST. PERSON. They pulled off an amazing subject matter with utter beauty. And they didn’t try to do it with bells and whistles. It was just plain masterful.

If my pants are too tight, I’d want to change out of them pronto. But if I make a wonderful friend, I’d hang on for dear life and hope that person never changes his/her mind about our friendship.

Along with all the great classics already listed here, some things should never be messed with. Like Jenn, maybe I just don’t like change! And funny how the theme music from many of these is so memorable as well. Ack, now I can’t get The Great Escape out of my head. I’ll just whistle along for the rest of the day…

And I hear you about Hawaii 5-0! Gah! Jack Lord is iconic in that role; Alex O’Loughlin just doesn’t do it for me. Have you seen the full trailer? What did you think?
