	Great quiz.

	Rayavi:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 04:37 GMT	6 points
	Argh! I should have gotten the first Klaatu, but I could have sworn he was ill the day the Earth stood still. But he did tell us where we stand.

	Mistakenblood:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 04:54 GMT	4 points
	It should be "Who Played Whom" (grammar nazi here)

	tvfan3:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 05:17 GMT	-3 points
	Michael Rennie should be easy since he's mentioned in the opening line of Science Fiction Double Feature.

	statephone:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 07:07 GMT	8 points
	I have always respected Steve Martin, but that's the one character that no other actor should have ever played after Peter Sellers. Makes me cringe just thinking about it.

	MrMN:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 07:48 GMT	2 points
	Thanks for a very fun quiz.

	dummo:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 08:04 GMT	3 points
	Out of all of these I'd say only Bridges, Deniro, Crowe, and Clooney came close to matching the quality of the original performance. Some such as Norman Bates, Arthur and Inspector Clouseau should never ever have been recast.

	hodgetiger:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 10:34 GMT	1 point
	I think that they should have left Pelham 123 the hell alone (even though Matthau was the best thing in the original, Shaw was great too, Travolta was not so good)

	When Hollywood remakes movies its amazing how many times they make unnecessary changes, like the director/writer/producers want to make this one "their own", if you wanna make it your own make a different movie. Anyway, a great deal of thanks to Sporcle for the publish, and thank you to all that have played.

	Not one film there that improved on the original. Good quiz, though.

Charlie Croker (The Italian Job)
1969
2003

	DavePlankton:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 15:01 GMT	3 points
	I disagree- in my opinion the remakes of Cape Fear and True Grit improved on the originals. That said there are some terrible remakes on that list- The Italian Job, The Pink Panther, Psycho and Shaft stand out as classics that would have been better off left alone.

	Cecispanda:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 19:29 GMT	1 point
	I haven't seen the first Cape Fear, but the second one certainly wasn't terrible. The new True Grit, I don't really define as a remake, it's a completely different setting of the same novel.. .it's good, but I can't say it's better than the Duke.

	Propellerhead:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 20:35 GMT	2 points
	I would submit that Ocean's Eleven was a significant improvement over the original as well.

	jonsap:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 21:39 GMT	1 point
	Why no women on the list?

	zalkon2004:	Dec 11th, 2011 at 22:41 GMT	1 point
	@jonsap I have another quiz that features actresses - http://www.sporcle.com/games/zalkon2004/the-original--the-remake---who-played-who-actress

	bigjoeco:	Dec 12th, 2011 at 14:13 GMT	-4 points
	Seriously, I was all excited when I saw the title of this quiz. I was assuming it was a Doctor Who quiz. Instead, the first question had to do with Mr. "I'm just such a cool older guy, they should name this movie 'Clooney's Evelen'" George Clooney. Talk about taking all of the excitement out of your day in one fell swoop.

	smythereens:	Dec 17th, 2011 at 00:16 GMT	-2 points
	Shaft 2000 is NOT a remake of the original. Learn what words mean.

	AddiSnow:	Apr 30th, 2012 at 02:32 GMT	1 point
	That's a lot of poor and pointless remakes. I didn't even know they made Straw Dogs again.
