That Was A Remake!
I find that many modern movies are remakes of older films.
this list is to give credit to the originals and to stir curiosity
so people will go back and see what they have missed.
this a family friendly list. when there is a remake not suited for family viewing I will make a note of it. by that I mean if there is nudity, extreme violence and foul language.
For movies referenced there will be a * mark beside it.
For movies that are in list I will Give a family warning.
I am human, so I might miss something. Please use your own
judgment. 15

- DirectorErnst LubitschStarsMargaret SullavanJames StewartFrank MorganTwo employees at a gift shop can barely stand each other, without realizing that they are falling in love through the post as each other's anonymous pen pal.Plot. guy and girl fighting like cats and dog at work and
unknowingly righting letters to each other at night
James Stewart is known for the movie "It's A Wonderful Life" as George Baily
Henry Morgan, who is also in this film, best known for the movie "The Wizard of Oz" as The Wizard of OZ
Margaret Sullavan, This is probably her best movie - DirectorRobert Z. LeonardStarsJudy GarlandVan JohnsonS.Z. SakallIn turn-of-the century America, Andrew and Veronica are co-workers in a music shop who dislike one another during business hours but unwittingly carry on an anonymous romance through the mail.This movie, In the Good Old Summertime was very similar to " The Shop Around the Corner" they simply made it into a musical.
Judy Garland best know for the Wizard of Oz as Dorothy
Van Johnson I liked his movie "Week-end at the Waldorf" - DirectorNora EphronStarsTom HanksMeg RyanGreg KinnearBook superstore magnate Joe Fox and independent book shop owner Kathleen Kelly fall in love in the anonymity of the Internet, both blissfully unaware that he's trying to put her out of business.Instead of Snail mail It is email in this movie.

Shop Around The Corner
In The Good Old Summertime
You've Got Mail
once I have finished putting up a movie and it's remakes I will put a list of them in the last one. I have seen other list and i always get lost wondering where the comparisons starts and stops
I will be making a list of famous couples on screen.they will be on it. - DirectorAlfred HitchcockStarsCary GrantIngrid BergmanClaude RainsThe daughter of a convicted German spy is asked by American agents to gather information on a ring of German scientists in South America. How far will she have to go to ingratiate herself with them?Plot: an FBI agent is trying to recruit a lady for a job but is not sure what job is. She is recruited. They fall in love. then they find out her job is to seduce and "old friend".
Cary Grant: He had a ton of great movies but "Bringing up Baby", "My Favorite Wife" and "To catch a Thief" are good starters
Ingrid Bergman: best known for "Casablanca". I would recommend her other Hitchcock movie "Spellbound".
this Is a Alfred Hitchcock Film - DirectorJohn WooStarsTom CruiseDougray ScottThandiwe NewtonIMF agent Ethan Hunt is sent to Sydney to find and destroy a genetically modified disease called "Chimera".Yes "Mission: Impossible II" Is a remake of "Notorious" even down to the horse race.
Tom Cruise: "The Last Samurai*" extreme violence but good movie
Thandie Newton: Played in a another movie that remade a Cary Grant movie. Her movie was called: "The Truth About Charlie*"
Grant's movie was called......
I will but them both up after a while.
Family warning for Mission:Impossible II. sex scene - DirectorElliott NugentStarsBob HopePaulette GoddardEdward ArnoldA stockbroker's new partner bets $10,000 that he can only tell the truth for twenty-four hours.very funny worth a look
Bob Hope one of the best comedians ever.
Paulette Goddard very good as well. - DirectorTom ShadyacStarsJim CarreyMaura TierneyAmanda DonohoeA pathological liar-lawyer finds his career turned upside down when he inexplicably cannot physically lie for 24 whole hours.saw it one once. can not remember how it was.
"Nothing But The Truth"
"Liar Liar" - DirectorMelville ShavelsonStarsLucille BallHenry FondaVan JohnsonA widower with ten children falls for a widow with eight, and they must decide about forming a huge, unconventional family.I think both of these were good movies.
they are comedy/chick-flick but still worth a look
Lucille Ball: known for her show "I Love Lucy". few know but Lucille Ball had a successful movie career before she started working in television. Take a look at the movie "Easy to Wed" which is also a remake or "To Many Girls" it is said that is where she met her husband.
Henry Fonda: best movie "Twelve Angry Men" - DirectorRaja GosnellStarsDennis QuaidRene RussoJerry O'ConnellA widowed Coast Guard Admiral and a widowed handbag designer fall in love and marry, much to the dismay of his 8 and her 10 children.Rene Russo: Lethal Weapon III
Dennis Quaid: probably best known for "The Rookie" - DirectorAlex SegalStarsGlenn FordDonna ReedLeslie NielsenAfter the child of wealthy parents gets abducted, the police and a member of the press intervene to assist the parents in their search but end up complicating their impending decisions.Glenn Ford: Probably best know for the movie "Gilda"
I recommend his movie "The Violent Men", "Don't Go Near the Water" and "Love Is a Ball". Really catch any movie he made in the forties and fifties.
Donna Reed: First I have to say "Wow". She is best known for "It's a Wonderful Life". She played Mary Hatch, wife of George Baily.
I recommend watching the this "Ransom" first then the remake.
I would say the same of all the ones shown so far. - DirectorRon HowardStarsMel GibsonGary SiniseRene RussoMulti-millionaire Tom Mullen's son is kidnapped, but after initially agreeing to pay the ransom Mullen then decides to use the ransom money as a bounty.I really liked this movie. it gave you a view of the criminals point of view. What I did not like is is made the hero less sympathetic.
Mel Gibson: they also made a pretty good team in
Rene Russo: Lethal Weapon 3* and she was in number 4* as well
Family Warning: Strong Language - DirectorDavid SwiftStarsHayley MillsMaureen O'HaraBrian KeithTeenage twin sisters swap places and scheme to reunite their divorced parents.Brian Keith: take a look at his movie "The Violent Men"
