Gotta be shitting me!

Sydney Greenstreet and Peter Lorre never get enough love for this movie.

It's always all Humphrey this and Bogart that!

What about 'Heat'? ;)

Bette Davis in a remake of The Maltese Falcon wasn't what I hoped it would be, I'll tell you that.

Some things I worth trying again until you get them right

They need to fucking remake movies with great concepts that were executed poorly.
Would you rather have a sequel to The Hustler, or a remake?

Remarkably all three were made within 12 years of the story’s original serialization in 1929 via Black Mask

The Thing, The Fly, Scarface, and Cape Fear

Three adaptations of “The Maltese Falcon,” none of “Red Harvest.” 🤦🏼‍♂️

I enjoy the 1931 version with Ricardo Cortez. It's smutty.

While many critics panned Brian De Palma's "Scarface" when it came out, it has become such a pop culture fixture that many people can't believe it was a remake.

Cue They Might be Giants.

The earlier attempts were soft-boiled.

Are you saying Satan Met a Lady is not very good?!?!?

Thank God they’ll never remake THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD!

Watching it right now … Miles Archer just got shot in the pump by a Webley & rolled on down the hill.

I’ve never understood the argument against remakes. There is overwhelming evidence that not only are they often worthwhile but in plenty of cases surpass the original. Also, the original doesn’t magically disappear because a new version is made.

I thought it was the second.

One of my favorite movies. "It's the stuff that dreams made out of."
