Okay, who's the bright spark.............:(

                     ..............that decided to remake 'Flight of the Phoenix'?

For crying out loud, can't the film studios come up with something original for once?!

The original film had a sterling cast, and the plot had one of the best twists in disaster movie history.

Now they've probably gone and smothered it all in CGI.

ArggghhhH!  :evil:

                     The remake apparently was done entirely on location, with a minimum of CGI, from what I've read. I have a review copy at home, but since Warner's has already sent me all those great screwball reissues (Bringing Up Baby, Philadelphia Story, Libeled Lady, etc.) it hasn't been watched yet.

I thought the Phildelphia Story held up well.
Actually, the 56 remake of the 40 original (if I have those right...) was the first time I got a hint at why Sinatra was a star.  Until then, it escaped me.
