I counted Carrie (2002), which is the same case as It.

In my view, it's an adaptation of source material (a novel), and the 2017 It is another adaptation of the source material, NOT a remake of the 1990 version. Same with Poe-related movies. Or Stoker's Dracula.

That said, I counted the 2002 Carrie, despite it being a re-adaptation, so I'd say the 2017 It is fine, but not the 1990 version.

Hopefully I answered the right question. :P

Yeah, but I mentioned I wasn't going to focus on Readaption vs. Remake vs. Reboot stuff, that gets too so messy I'd rather have a simple list. You putting both Carrie and Shining on yours only further reminded me no one touched on It yet.

I apologize if I'm being thick, but what's the difference between Carrie and It?

nothing different, unless you get into splitting hairs. he was more getting at you over-explaining and getting into sticky territory. readaptation vs. remake. and such.

TV version came first with It? I'm not sure why you're asking the difference, there's lots of differences :P

I thought that was the question, which is why I was explaining my view. I wasn't meaning to over-explain.

To me, both are based off King source novels. One was a television mini-series, and the other was a 1976 movie, but I guess I don't see how that makes a difference into adaptations that came later (It (2017) and Carrie (2002 and 2013).

no. he initially was asking about his own addition of it. that's all. he wasn't looking for a ruling on your list at all.

Mind = Blown. I didn't think twice about people including Carrie and the Shining, but IT pumps the brakes. Why, D? Why?!

I wasn't ruling on my list. I was using something I see similar from my list as an example to explain my thoughts. I answered the question I thought was being asked using an example. No intentional 'over-explaining' or 'ruling on my list,' just answering a question I thought was being asked.

fair enough, then. remakes (or re-adaptations, reboots. whatever) are all fair, regardless of whether they came from a tv movie or were tv movies themselves. done. :P

I almost don't want to answer, but I will.

It (2017) is a great movie, but It: Chapter 2 felt more average. I'm trying to mentally combine both films' ratings, and judge then if the combined It/It: Chapter 2 would fit in my top ten, and it doesn't.

If just chap 1 is a "great" movie, it's on your fucking list. But it's also your favorite book, and they did a lot of things well and it has repeat value. And this is a fucking remake list, do you like remakes all of the sudden?

My point was does medium matter in this? It sounds like everyone's cool with including TV versions (whether they came first or after) so it's all good.

And the first one was filmed as a solo movie, unsure it would even be successful to do the rest of the book. The first movie surprisingly works very well by itself.

If I may say this, and then sit back and relax, I do like all the ten movies on my list. But there's not one movie on my list that I think is better than the original in question, if that makes sense.

It (2017) and Chapter 2 is complicated to me, which is partially why I left it out. I certainly didn't do it to offend anyone. :P
