Original.

This remake seems so dumb. I mean the work Manchurian in the original was because the Chinese were a big part of the plot, and now in this new one, the word Manchurian is some sort of big Corporation.


BAH!!!!!!

Best Buy has the remastered special edition of The Manchurian Candidate for $9.99.

That movie is one of the best thrillers ever made, period. That movie, along with Ronin, puts John Frankenheimer in the top tier of American thriller directors.

Let me just add that NOTHING in the remake will be able to top Angela Lansbury's performance in the original. If all you know of her is Murder, She Wrote, you are due for one hell of a wake-up call.

The original was a great movie. Plus it reminds you that Frank Sinatra could act given the right role. The soundtrack to the original is great, very eerie in some parts. And the ending sequences are pretty thrilling.
