yeah, it's on right now...that's what made me think of it.
I want to get the new DVD release, with the restored print and deleted scenes.

usually the best a remake can do is be the equal and that is a rare event. You have named one of the rare instances. Another I think would be "The Four Feathers."

I believe 'Red Dragon' was a superior pseudo-remake of 'Manhunter,' and is more faithful to the Thomas Harris novel as well.
