Which is exactly why i chose my words carefully. Remakes are 99.9% utter
crap, but Nosferatu is one of the few where i don't reach for the original
after about five minutes. Herzog actually made an effort with Nosferatu and
for some reason i also really like Mikhalkov's version of 12 Angry Men, but
they are really exceptions to the rule.

Most extreme case was i really loved the remake of Cat People, and only
found out a couple of years ago that there was an original. I haven't
watched the remake ever since, and that despite my Nastassja Kinski fetish.
