Great movies people forgot are remakes:
Ben Hur
the 10 Commandments
The Lord of the Rings
Titanic (not great by my book, but people love it)
Ocean’s 11
Casino Royale
Wow, I didn’t know that Ben-Hur was a remake. That’s cool.
Ben Hur
the 10 Commandments
The Lord of the Rings
Titanic (not great by my book, but people love it)
Oceans 11
Casino Royale
The Wizard of Oz also belongs on this list.
I don't consider Casino Royale a great movie--when I saw it in the theater in 1967, I thought it was the worst movie ever. But I did like the 1954 original, which I saw at a screening at the University of Southern California.
I've seen all of the originals except Ocean's 11 and The Lord of the Rings.
