Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

I agree!...It's difficult to do a great remake of a great movie!

Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

I can't imagine this will be popular but I've be wrong- look what they did to Grease.

I think once you fall in love with something ( a movie) it always holds a place in your heart. Hard to compete with Bette and Barbara.

Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

Isn't this a made for TV movie... Speaks volumes.

 

I don't think they're capable of an original idea anymore... Then again, neither is the film industry it seems...

I didn't like the movie the first time around, but I loved the song, which to me is all about my beloved, late stepfather. I still cry when I hear the song.

i think the movie is maybe good to average, but GREAT? no.....it isnt one of those movies i would have to see over and over again.

i would not mind seeing a remake, especially it if is just going to be done on tv.

Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

I was also going to post about Beaches remake. Remember the Lifetime remake of Steel Magnolias, could not compare to the original.

Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

I won't watch a re-make.  

 

Since this will be a made for tv remake, this doesn't hold true, but why are they doing it, so they can drop a couple or hundred fbombs?

Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

Well the Ghostbusters remake was hysterical and it stands up to the original. I never cared for the first beaches so maybe this will be better. As for Idinas voice she is an awesome singer and Ms. M  would agree. Not like she just broke into the industry she has been on broadway and in movies for years.

Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

I think Lifetime movies are generally awful. This remake will most likely fall into that category. Why do people think movies need to be updated for the younger viewers? Classial music and old paintings are revered, why not classic films? Beaches is a chick flick, but still has a loyal following, I guess getting old is a sin now.

Re: The remake of the movie Beaches

I've never understood the "remakes" of great movies!!  Very rarely are they as good as the original.  Waste of money and effort!!
