I don't think you can generally say they are or aren't. If a person watches a film enough times and falls in love with that version and it gets remade they will quite probably be very much opposed to it and as such would watch it expecting not to like it, and they would then probably not like it. Personally I like seeing how different directors interperet a story, sometimes I end up liking the original and the remake of different reasons. Sometimes I might like one more than the other of course, but I couldn't really say 'on the whole' I prefer one or the other.


Are there any films where you love both the original and the remake?
