My favourite is 'Dead men don't wear plaid' tough I do enjoy 'Dirty rotten scoundrels' I just love the genital cuffs piece even then he's carried in that by Sir Maurice.

John Candy was the master - made truely bad films excellent (apart from wagons east but he did die in the middle of it - literally)

'The man with two brains' , 'Dirty Rotten scoundrels' and 'Roxanne', great movies, he's good, but not that good. As for The Pink Panther, I can't see it working, the Pink Panther was a series of movies of their time and Peter Sellers was the only person that could carry it off. Better to leave them alone IMO.

and remember Keto hiding in the fridge? but there's got to be plenty of kids who've never seen the originals and never will cos they're pretty dated and will be more than happy to pay to see this version at the movies

Some mentioned hoping they don't do a remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still, I am sure if they did, it would have way too many special effects in it.
I hated the remake of the Italian Job. No one could ever top Mr. Bridger (Noel Coward). The remake of the Lady Killers had it's odd funny part especiall when the white guy said he had IBS and the black guy responded "UB what?".
I just hope and pray they never get their hands on the other old Ealing comedies, The Lavender Hill Mob, Passport to Pimlico, The Man in the White Suit etc etc. Now I am showing my age. Oh God, I just thought, what ever would they do if they got hold of the St. Trinian movies.
