Movie remakes are one thing but what about CRIME movie remakes? It’s our favorite genre and one that lends itself well to remaking and remastering films here are a few of our all time favorite crime movie remakes to keep an eye out for on your http://www.cable.tv/ channels:
Oceans Eleven: It wasn’t until Brad Pitt and George Clooney made it a household name that Oceans became big doings. It was originally a 60s caper classic with all the same charm if not less star power.
The Manchurian Candidate: bet you didn’t know this one was a remake! It was originally released in 1964 and redone for 2004 but it was a bit flashier and more violent this time around, that’s for sure. It didn’t stay well at box offices in the 2000s.
The Pink Panther: More of a crime-comedy than a straight up crime, this one came out again a few years back starring Steve Martin, of all people. It’s great for kids and adults alike but we have to admit the newer version is definitely a bit cheesier than we’d prefer.
