The Wicker Man remake with Nic Cage. Any excuse to post this video...

 

Oh my word, that is awful. To be honest, I don't expect anything less. IMO Cage is by far the worst actor (well, big name at least) in Hollywood. How the fuck did he become so successful? He's been shit in everything, except Raising Arizona.

 

This remix is good:

Come on, that's simply not true at all, is it?

Well, I haven't seen Leaving Las Vegas. Apparently he's meant to be good in that. But in everything I've seen him in, I think he has been boring and pretty shit.

 

Edit: I found this link showing the 'best' bits of the Wicker Man remake.

He's been shit in loads of things, but he's also been great in loads of things. Peggy Sue Got Married, Wild At Heart, Honeymoon In Vegas, Red Rock West, The Rock, Con Air, Face/Off, Snake Eyes, Adaptation - all great films, and he's great in them all.

Didn't like him much in Face/Off, thought Travolta was class. Didn't like him in Con Air, and surprisingly haven't seen the others (I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen The Rock).

 

But I will concede one great thing- 1:20 into

. I have literally spent the last 5 mins in tears watching this

This thread has made me realise something. I don't think that there are any remakes that surpass the original. I really can't think of one off the top of my head. The only good remakes I can think of are Dawn Of The Dead (which is nowhere near as good as the original) and Cape Fear (even though I haven't seen the original). I'm sure someone on this board can enlighten me on the matter.

ocean 11, the fly, the thing, the thomas crown affair, casino royale all off the top of my head in my opinion better than the originals. Oh Scarface as well.

 

While on top the recent remake of The Prisoner was such a pointless exercise.

Better than the original?

 

Invasion of the Body Snatchers ( 1970's) version is pretty good, better than Abel Ferrara's 1990s version which is still good and the Original which is good, but not as good as the remake
