An action remake from Mark Wahlberg and an import from Chow Yun-Fat; Camelot in HD, vintage horror from Edward G. Robinson, the obscure depravity of Justine, and more
Camelot (1967), written by Alan Jay Lerner (book and screenplay) and Frederick Loewe (music), legendary creators of such Broadway musical classics as Gigi and My Fair Lady, focuses on a brief mythical period when chivalry, nobility, and fairness were the guiding principals behind ruling a nation. Such a golden time will, no doubt, flower following our own Presidential election, but until then watching this film and hearing its songs — “How To Handle a Woman,” “If Ever I Would Leave You,” “Camelot” — you may share the yearning for what is best and most noble in man- and womankind while acknowledging the difficulties arising out of the relationships between the two.

I was a huge John Wayne fan so "True Grit" was not a favorite remake. I can think of alot of fifty movies I would like to see reade though.
I hate remakes. Sequels seldom measure up to the first film, although some do at least. I don't remember ever seeing a remake that I liked.
