Friday Night: Let Me In
Saturday: The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (Original)
Sunday: Let The Right One In and The Town.

I am curious why you started with the remake and not the original.


I have seen both and also enjoyed the remake. It was just so close to the original, that I find buying the DVD rather pointless myself

After you answer Achim,  I'd also like to know what you think of The Taking of Pelham 123? It's in my top ten of favourite films.

My mom and step dad have the original Taking of Pelham 1 2 3..I just haven't watched it yet.

I watched that recently. While certainly not in my top ten, I'll come out and say it's a super solidly made fun movie. Matthau is in top form and the plot unfolds marvelously.
