Are there any other good modem movies that have black and white counterparts? The only other one i can think of is The Day The Earth Stood Still and the remake of that isn’t even that good.

This question comes about as my really enjoying The Thing, finding out it had an earlier version, and then finding i enjoyed that version more and for different reasons. I’d love to branch out and watch more monochrome movies with modem ties.

    I’d add Return of the Living Dead as a quasi-sequel to Night of the Living Dead.

    Also, Psycho hasn’t been mentioned. Cat People is another.

      Good call - it’s probably the best NotLD sequel/remake after Dawn of the Dead.

      Also, Psycho hasn’t been mentioned.

      I still don’t see the point of a shot-for-shot remake but if OP is looking for B&W remakes then this is a must-see.

      Cat People is another.

      I’m disappointed that I forgot this.
