Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein [1989] Es ist nicht leicht ein Gott zu sein Peter Fleischmann 3/7 Boooring! Could we be looking at another victory for team remake?
The 39 Steps [2008] The 39 Steps James Hawes 2/6 Surprise make/remake/reremake/rereremake Usually this concept doesn’t seem like a very good idea. And today is no exception.
The Thirty Nine Steps [1978] The Thirty Nine Steps Don Sharp 2/5 Surprise make/remake/re-remake! Literally a very dark film.
The 39 Steps [1959] The 39 Steps Ralph Thomas 3/6 Surprise make/remake! Very true to the original, this. And as usual, one is left wondering: But why?
The 39 Steps [1935] The 39 Steps Alfred Hitchcock 6/6 Milestone reached: the first of Hitch’s films I’d seen before.
Blow Out [1981] Blow Out Brian De Palma 4/6 Solid. Brian knows what he’s doing. Maybe I should binge-complete. Easter’s coming up.
The Producers [2005] The Producers Susan Stroman 0/6 Not so much a remake as a straight up cover version. And as if reality has all of a sudden morphed into an episode of Seinfeld, it’s also a musical! And on top of that, even 50% longer. Thus blowing an easy win vs. make.
The Producers [1967] The Producers Mel Brooks 2/6 Maybe I should just fess up and admit to hating Mel Brooks?
