The Flight of The Phoenix(1965)

The original by a hair. (A rather THICK hair...but a hair nonetheless) Jimmy Stewart depicted that air-worn cargo dog to a tee. Quaid did well in the remake...the aerial photography at the beginning is cool. Plus, the remake also featured Hugh Laurie ("House").

The original. While I do like several of the actors in the redo, Dennis Quaid is no Jimmy Steward.

Nothing wrong with the remake- it's just seems so pointless if you're used to the original, which is one of my top ten favorites.
