Yes, even the classics!
I was watching Winchester 73 the other day and my 13 year old hated the old black and white and some of the "hokey" acting. But he thought the story was cool, when I described it to him.
There are too many great stories that are being held in a vault, that need to be re-told with updated acting, effects and camera work. It's not that they would be better than the movies of the past, but they would get watched. If we want to get the younger folks interested in the morals, the history and the cowboy way, then we need to get the stories out there.
For example, I think "The Shootist", with Mel Gibson as Books would be excellent AND it would get younger folks in the groove.
I have been resistant to the remake idea for a while, but folks.. it's the only way.. cause the new westerns out there ain't that good of a story.
Adios,
