the question for me is, was the US remake necessary or worth watching if you've already seen the original? vanilla sky had a couple advantages over the original, like the scene with an empty times square. otherwise, i didn't think it was really necessary to remake. roger ebert once suggested, why doesn't hollywood remake bad films into good ones instead of trying to remake stuff that's already good?albee -- it's people like you responsible for hollywood remaking films that don't need to be remade. :-(
harmonia -- you are speaking my language. i love con films too!! david mamet, the jim thompson novel adaptations, etc. give us a list so i can catch the con films i've missed!!!
here's a good con film you may have missed by one of this board's favorite directors, claude chabrol -- rien ne va plus (US title: the swindle). it's got chabrol's flair for interesting characters, which is why i like it. i don't think it's out on dvd yet. i'll try to think of other suggestions ...
