Yes Kaibach - the new "The Fly" WAS absolutely excellent - primarily because it made for an even more disturbing and horrifieing viewing, but the new version of "The Fly" actually stayed true to the essential core elements of the original (those that were germain to the emotional effect of the film).   I loved the new fly remake - but I missed the scene in the original 1950's version where Vincent Price's character sees the tiny fly with a human head and arm struggling in a spider's web outside the scientist's mansion in his garden - screaming "help me" as the spider closed in for the kill, and finally moaning in agony as the spider sank it's fangs into him. Then - Price mercifully pick's up a huge rock and smashes them both with it.

That was a moment of shear cold chills that STILL has major league effect today when you watch the original. It was simply not covered in the remake - and would've made for a fascinating dichotomy. You can remake something until your blue in the face, and you might make a halfway decent show or film of it - but you can never recapture the flavor of the original,
and more often than not - originals do outshine their remade translations.
