The Oscars

If films remade from other films are the lowest form of creativity ... what then to make of such movies as The Man Who Knew Too Much, The Ten Commandments, Pocketful of Miracles, The Children's Hour, An Affair to Remember, and Destry that were remade by the very same filmmaker?!

Ahem, it was none other than Alfred Hitchcock who remade his own film, The Man Who Knew Too Much. Can we ascribe the lowest sub-circle of creative hell to such a giant???

If you remake the movie yourself you get to keep all of the creative credit but unless you do something substantially unique in the second go 'round (which is not the case for The Man Who Knew Too Much or An Affair to Remember) then that total creative amount is not much increased by the second movie.

In my opinion, of course.
