Yes, I'm a "no remake" purist and I have caught myself many times being hypocritical about it! Because the film I think is the original was actually the first remake, and I'm complaining about the 2nd, 3rd or 4th remake. I do notice that from time to time. So I'm trying to be a bit more consistent.
I didn't know the Kirk Douglas 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea was a remake, but I've discovered quite a few others like that that I didn't know about. Trying to think of an example, but my brain just doesn't retain stuff like that anymore.
I've only seen (part of) the 1933 King Kong. It came on TV when I was a child and I got too scared and didn't make it through! I was 7 when the 1976 one came out and my parents wouldn't have taken me to that anyway.
I am on the Steemit chat if you have a request.
