The Thing

I know many disagree but i think they are plainly wrong. The original was a slightly better than typical B scifi that bore little resemblence to the book and much resemblence to many of the other formulaic B scifis of that time. The remake, if you can call it that, had a level of intensity, mystery and paranoia that was painfully missing in the first version. Th performances and writing behind those peformances were so much more layered and human. IMO the remake is the clasic here. I think nostalgia plays heavily on the preference for the original.
