Does the Three Flavors Cornetto Trilogy count?

If not, then I guess anything from Aardman or Cartoon Saloon.

Yep, we're still Europeans despite Leave's best efforts.

I suppose I should start with the horror movies that got an, often inferior, American remake:

  • The Wicker Man (1973)
  • Suspiria (1977)
  • Nightwatch (1994)
  • Funny Games (1997)
  • [•REC] (2007) - Quarantine
  • Martyrs (2008)
  • Låt den rätte komma in (2008) - Let The Right One In
  • Somos lo que hay (2010) - We Are What We Are
  • Ich seh, Ich seh (2014) - Goodnight Mommy/Mummy

They did a Martyrs remake???

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yep, Martyrs (2015). It's pretty bad and best avoided.
