That is a good start to finding classic films.

But it sounds like you should watch TCM for a few years straight if you're serious.

Here's some ideas though, but many modern-foreign classics in here too.

Lastly, why remake a perfect film? Why not remake a film that on paper was awesome, the premise was excellent, but something went awry? That seems like the missed opportunity of remakes and really if you took strong source material that was a mediocre movie, one could end up looking a lot better.

You guys should do a post on some classic films. Much like the "actors likely to win oscars" lists. Even a list with minimal explanations would be really useful and worthwhile.

I mean Harvey has already had plenty of face time on the site, and I'm sure a noticeable percentage of your readers (like me) heard about it for the first time then with RDJ, Tom Hanks and Spielberg being mentioned.

I'm honestly not too familiar with classic films, so this rumour has made me aware of this film and I'm looking forward to checking it out in the future.

If it gets remade, what can we do?. At least it won't be tax dollars making it. Those who already know about the original will always have the original. And a remake will likely draw in some new audiences to the original.
And again, what would you rather see, this remake or 'The A-Team'?

If the remake is decent, then I'm sure it will be a suitable compliment to the original.
Much like how 'Infernal Affairs' and 'The Departed' are very similar and only a few years apart, but 'The Departed' is the start and end of the discussion here in the US for the most part.
