I think Ocean's 11 was an improvement on the original.
And The Empire Strikes Back walks all over any other Star Wars movie.
And National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation was the best one and it was the 3rd!
My meaning.
Alien was more Horror
Aliens was more Action.
I love both but ultimately prefer to watch Aliens.

Yeah, Alien 1-3 are great. Alien Resurrection was also ok, I was a bit dissapointed about the ending ( with that mother alien, that was toomuch. My favorite is still the first one. Best thrill and wonderful art design (H.R. Giger) and I think it has the best storyline.

We have a winner.

<strong>Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn was better than Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

Yeah, but you got the whole even-numbered/odd-numbered-Star-Trek-sequel-thing working for you there.
Clearly, Star Trek 2, 6, 7, and 8 are better than the first.
Also, I haven't seen the Truth About Charlie, but I am a fan of Charade, and I have friends who saw tTAC, and said that not only was it a bad remake of Charade, it just wasn't very well done in and of itself. But like I said, I haven't seen it (though based on that review, I don't imagine I will)
Anyway, just my 2¢
<strong>Truth about Charlie--remake of Hitchcock's Charade.[ 11-09-2002: Message edited by: jesperas ]</strong><hr></blockquote>
Charade is not a Hitchcock movie. It was made by Stanley Donen.
I think Batman Returns was better than Batman
You really prefer that to the simple, yet delightfully over-acted
"KAAAAAAAAAHHHHNNNNN!!!!"
For me, that was Bill Shatner at the very Zenith of his acting abilities!

Whoops, my bad! (Where the heck did I get Hitchcock from?)

The interesting thing about seeing both is that you really notice how each movie is a product of its time. Charade is very 1960-ish in its portrayal of characters, pacing, and plot, and Truth About Charlie is a makedly contemporary movie, with all of the baggage that "contemporary" brings with it. This is how, IMO, it separates itself from Charade. The Regina character, for example, is a different character from the one played by Audry Hepburn (and I don't mean just the acting style).
It may be a decent rental for you. I don't think it's doing all that well in the box office, and with the breakneck speed in which movies are released to DVD, I'm sure it'll be available in the next couple of months.
