    I saw the remake version and it was ok, but I have the problem of seeing the Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury version with Laurence Harvey years ago and loved it. I still feel for *those* characters because they all did a wonderful job. Go see that one. Angela Lansbury was the perfect and her speech to her son was chilling and believable. I think she may have been nominated for an oscar for it. And Laurence Harvey was great with the robotic/pathos combo.

      I would rate the new version as a 4 and the original as an 8.

    And one more thing: Have you guys ever thought of having Angelina do a guest shot? It would be nice to get the feminine angle, especially on some romance movies.

    • @MovieRelated

      Angelina is a bit camera shy. Though not sure why she is needed. Everybody knows men are more in tuned with feelings and the art of romance. Besides, we include Marc for the feminine point of view.

    So sounds like you guys should watch the 1962 version also. I liked the stars in the remake but I liked the original movie better. (Usually the case for me and remakes) I did both and found myself waiting for the 2nd to end. It was a good watch though. I'd say a 6 for me, but I'll give the original a solid 7.

      @@MovieRelated So I got to watch the 2004 Manchurian Candidate and I have to say even though Denzel is my fave, the old movie is better; for example, Raymond didn't recognize his houseman as the man who brainwashed him but Marco did immediately and they had a kung fu fight; this shows that the brainwashing didn't stick because Marco was mentally stronger; in the new one they're both controlled by chips. Raymond shoots his mother with his medal of honor on, symbolic, new one well he lines himself up. Lastly the Manchurian connection due to the cold war meant something but in the new movie it was just a corporation. Oh one more thing, the queen of diamonds was a visual cue linking to mother; in the new one it was a phrase, lost the visual cue. Still liked it of course, but like Tammy I have to say the original is better.

    At first I thought you were talking about the 62 Sinatra version; you should compare it with the "new" one :) Denzel is my favorite actor so I'm way biased but the old one is a classic.
