Alex, based on your most recent posts, I strongly urge you to check out the Lower Depths DVD set from Criterion. It includes Jean Renoir's 1936 adaptation of the Gorky play and Akira Kurosawa's 1957 take on the same source material.
If remakes always attracted the same caliber of talent as the orginal (as in iSm's example), I'd be delighted when a remake is announced.
With all the talk of George Lucas in the "if he'd died after..." thread, I think I might rewatch The Hidden Fortress again tonight.
