Not all remakes are bad, IMVHO. I thought that Cape Fear was great, and that the 1976 King Kong was fabulous.

I shudder to think of an American version of Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels.

Exactly - [REC] (Portugal) was remade less than a year later into Quarantine (USA). I'm not saying [REC] was the greatest thing since sliced bread, but what is the point of releasing an identical movie? A quick buck and pandering to lazy Americans unwilling to see a foreign film....
GRRGRGHAHAHAAHAHA
/RANT OVER
P.S. I do think [REC] is better than sliced bread

I would of said Mad Max, but they are doing it and I expect it will be garbage. But you never know!

A letter from The Times:
Sir,
Some years back I dated an American who was a graduate student at the Sorbonne. When in France, he would try to improve his conversation skills by attending American movies with French subtitles.
One, a Western, featured a cavalry officer and his men charging up a hill where the Indians and their chief waited silently. The officer greeted the chief who raised his hand and said: "How!" This was translated in the subtitles as "Enchanté".

I often wonder how accurate the subtitles are... I downloaded the second series of The Killing (swedish cop drama) but the subtitles were so bad i gave up after two episodes.
