Mr Deeds, Last Holiday, those are two movies that I can think of in this category, can anyone think of any others?
There's great old black and white movies which havent been remade and which I doubt would be as good either, like twelve angry men or that other one about Darwinism being on trial in the US but I'm wondering about others which you may have seen in the colour, modern version and only watched the other by chance maybe and thought, man, that's some difference there.
What do you think makes the difference? Is it that the movies are played more as straight features or human interest than cliched humour flicks? Or is it all to do with the actor rather than the story?
