TOT: 10 Favorite Movie/Song Remakes

This week's Ten on Tuesday is 10 Favorite Movie/Song Remakes. Wooooo, fun! Here's my list. You can go here to add your own or see other people's. I included links to youtube videos of the trailers or songs.

1. SONG: All Along the Watchtower - Bear McCreary and Bt4 (Originally by Bob Dylan)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1__dINxiXU

(The Jimi Hendrix remake is also very good. But then again, my dog's butt would sound better than Bob Dylan. And I don't even have a dog.)

2. SONG: Landslide - Dixie Chicks (Originally by Fleetwood Mac)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9sraruD8ho



3. SONG: Hurt - Johnny Cash (Originally by Nine Inch Nails)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmVAWKfJ4Go

(The video Johnny Cash made brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.)




4. SONG: Here Comes the Sun - Sheryl Crow (Originally by The Beatles)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIc_upjPyAc

(Heard this in the movie Bee Movie and I loved it! Such a fun remake.)

5. SONG: Life Is A Highway - Rascal Flatts (Originally by Tom Cochrane)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvsmRuRp4cM

6. SONG: Mad World - Gary Jules (Originally by Tears for Fears)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4

(I was not a huge fan of the Tears for Fears version. I first heard Gary's version on CSI.)

7. MOVIE: The Italian Job, 2003 (Original - The Italian Job, 1969)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvj9vhA8ixY




8. MOVIE: Little Women, 1994 (Original - Little Women, 1933)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLf_K45O9vU

9. MOVIE: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, 2005 (Original - Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, 1971)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyB4s9eox2o

(This one I am a bit torn on because I really like them both. I am not saying one is better than the other.)




10. MOVIE: Father of the Bride, 1991 (Original - Father of the Bride, 1950)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9zS4woYuoc

(Such a cute movie! Also, that is just a clip from the movie because I can't find a trailer of it online.)

  1. Life is a Highway is a great song but I liked Chris Ledoux's version better than Rascal Flatt's. Mostly i admit because i just liked Chris though. I guess I need to listen to "hurt" so far I'm the only one who didn't list that one.

  2. Both 'Hurt' and 'Mad World' are very sobering. I haven't heard the Dixie Chick's version of 'Landslide' but I've seen it on a few of these lists so will head on over to youtube for a listen now. Thanks :)

  3. I liked Jimi Hendrix's version of "Watchtower" the best. And I like Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" but I prefer the Dixie Chicks as well. I definitely agree with you on all of these! :)
