You preferred the remake of The Manchurian Candidate??? Ah, WSSlover, say it isn't so!!!!
I agree with rufnek, the original is the better of the two, although I did like the remake. Maybe it's because I saw the original first and I knew the storyline and what to expect going into the remake. I read somewhere it was also JFK's favourite movie, isn't that ironic.
Oh and I preferred the original Solaris to the remake, it seemed to suit Tarkovsky more than Soderbergh, but again, I saw the original first, so you know...
