Scarface and The Fly. I didn't mind the Manchurian Candidate remake, but wouldn't say it's better.
I liked the Jeff Goldblum Fly but the 1950s one still creeps me out more.Scarface and The Fly. I didn't mind the Manchurian Candidate remake, but wouldn't say it's better.

Soderberghs take on Solaris with Clooney is pretty good. Not exactly a remake of the Tarkovsky film (which was a remake of the Soviet TV version), but based on the same novel.
The writer of the novel hated them all!
Dawn Of The Dead (2004). It's not as good as good as Romero's 1978 original, which I personally think is the best zombie film ever made, despite some of the wooden acting, but the 2004 film still a good film in it's own right, nothing really like the original, apart from being based in a shopping mall, which is a good thing, not rubbish like most remakes are.
I liked Mad Max Fury Road, I still prefer the original first film though, and probably Mad Max 2. It's a very good film though, even if it's really got no story, very little dialogue, but such an awesome visual spectical. I love the original film though. Mad Max (1) and Dawn Of The Dead, are the 2 films from all the crap we used to watch on VHS rentals as kids (well below the age of the films rating certificates), that are by far my favourites. Modern films just can't quite get that post apocalyptic feel that those original movies did for me.
Wouldn't anything be better than the original Solaris?

"Slow" doesn't do it justice. It was about as engaging as watching a glacier.You have to be in the right frame of mind, as it is undeniably slow; hey, some people complain that the Clooney on is slow and it's an hour (or two) shorter - but the Tartovski film is still an amazing bit of filmmaking. In another post I mentioned I'd probably not watch it again, but thinking about it I guess I'd see it at the pictures if the local arts cinema showed it
