Gail Anderson, unbelievably, a remake of the movie is coming out this year. Can't do any better than McQueen and Hoffman!

BirdDroppings2018, Why do people insist upon remaking a first rate movie. Just how can it get better?? 🤔

DistressedHunter8576, Jonathon Harris, Dr. Smith from "Lost in Space", would not participate in the movie remake of "Lost in Space" because he didn't want to tamper with perfection.

DistressedHunter8576, I felt the same way about the "Psycho" remake. What monumental ego thought he could improve upon Hitchcock?

Can you believe the ONLY Oscar nomination for this was the music??? (And it was worthy of winning.) This should have been nominated in several categories- the most obvious, acting!

]apillion was a very well made movie. Steve McQueen was so good in it. very believable. I still can't figure how he escaped. that island was always guarded.apparently someone was inattentive.

Papillon means butterfly in French, if anyone was wondering what that had to do with the tattoo.
