refused to even watch Italian job remake saciralige such a classic Caine film could never be bettered.I quite liked Depp in chocalate factory although i agree you've got to get away from the pretty version of the seventies which i also liked.

To enjoy holloywood re-makes you have to forget you ever saw the original film otherwise you'll never enjoy it. Once you do that you'd be surprised at how enjoyable some re-makes are. I enjoyed Ocean's Eleven and The Italian Job. I was disappointed by Shaft, hated Planet of the Apes and the verdict is still out on Willy Wonka (haven't seen that yet).

I think War of the Worlds is one of the best SCI-FI movies ever done. And I'm a true SCI-FI fan. Hell, I even watch Dr. Who! I think it was so realistic and the tripods were just amazing.
