What Original?

So after watching the 1969 True Grit today, it came to me that so many remakes have been made and most people have never seen how awesome the original films are.

 Here are just a few original films that I love and that also have remakes that are pretty well known, how many of these have you seen? and how many of the remakes have you seen?

The Italian Job (1969)

This film is definitely British humour at its best and proves once again how Michael Caine is an incredible actor.

Ringu (1998)

The Japanese horror film is definitely very creepy, a must see if you have only seen the remake

Ju-on (2002)

Another reason why Asian horrors will always outdo Hollywood remakes, they know how to create a good eerie atmosphere that will scare the crap out of you.

The Omen (1976)

This is exactly why 70's horror films are more terrifying and tense than today's films

Dawn of the dead (1978)

The master of zombie films, creating tense atmospheres, subtle humour and great acting all in one zombie film.

There are so much more great originals, to many to list but next time you see a Hollywood remake, remember to check out what it was inspired from.

Also the lack of blog updates was me due to planning and making my first video blog, which you can watch here, please go easy I'm not used to talking in front of a camera yet :)
