by John Walters Have you ever seen the film Patton ? There's a terrific moment in which the controversial U.S. World War II general, played by George C. Scott, is surveying a battlefield in north Africa. Patton peers through his field glasses, observes the German tanks getting in formation, and laughs knowingly.

I think the best chance of a good remake is when it is based on a classic book or novel rather than...
