Okay, I'm going out on a limb here, but I think the Italian Job was a good movie................
BUT, it was NOT the Italian Job!, practically only the opening credits were in Italy, they did not play the Self Preservation Society once, and nobody said 'You're only suposed to blow the bloody doors off'.
It was, however a fairly good film, change the title, a couple of characters and use any other car, and they wouldn't have got anywhere near as much flak for it. My 2 cents.
As for TCM, I remember seeing the original when I was young and it scaring the shit out of me, but I saw it again a couple of months ago, and laughed most of the way through it, so I think I lost all sense of fear!
A re-make or a sequal to a good film is not neccesarily a bad thing, but the Hollywood machine is recently just pumping out site.
The good movies these days are the 'epics' that have storylines to them and cause debate (Matrix, LOTR, Star Wars, Harry Potter)
They need to close down the machine for maintenance, it got bunged up somewhere along the line.
