Double up with
Remakes!

Not all remakes are good—usually not good at all.
But here are a few from different genres that carry their weight make for pretty interesting nights for classics.

The Thing 1982/The Thing from Another World 1951 (science fiction)

A Star is Born 1937/1954 and 1976 (the 1954 version with Judy Garland is my pick) (a true melodrama)

Lady for a Day 1933/Pocket Full of Miracles 1961 (both directed by William Wyler) (Comedy-drama)

Roxy Hart 1942/Chicago 2002 (musical)

These Three 1936/The Children's Hour 1961 (both directed by William Wyler) (heavy drama)

3:10 to Yuma 1957/3:10 to Yuma 2007 (the original is excellent black and white)(western)

Not sure I understand what you mean...I hate remakes...even of bad 'B' pics. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! Tho I must admit, I like The Children's Hour way better then Those 3 any day of the week! And, yep, A Star Is Born - I like Judy in ANYTHING!!!
