The 1953 with its primary colors and general creativity. The shock of the minister's holding up a cross and his sanctimonious Christianity not working, just getting him blasted, was a real jolt to early '50s conservative America.
The 2005 was just another head-banging headache inducing modern CGI action movie noise machine. The scene with Tim Robbins was the only thing I liked about it. Back on the old boards I suggested a drinking game: you had to down a shot or chug-a-lug a beer every time Cruise said, "Rachel, Robbie stay together."
