Don't care about The Thing From Another World vs. The Thing. Neither is a masterpiece, but the remake was certainly more exciting and had some very cool effects. La Jetée vs. 12 Monkeys is almost an unfair comparison... The former is a short (28 minutes I believe) and 12 Monkeys is a feature length story. Both had good directors with their own visions. For The Fly, I'll take the Cronenberg version any day. Yojimbo is NO CONTEST. It's much, much better than A Fistful of Dollars, though Leone would go on to make some amazing films. Also Spoorloos is much better than that TRASH American remake, The Vanishing. The happy ending and typical Hollywood thriller climax reeked of bullshit.
