That's like comparing, you guessed it, a Porsche to a Pinto.

I have never heard of anyone who prefers the remake of Psycho.
Not sure if you have noticed, but I am only comparing movies where both the original and the remake are well liked or have a cult following.

I have never heard of anyone who prefers the remake of Psycho. From 1998 Psycho Wikipedia: Quentin Tarantino has gone on record stating that he preferred Van Sant's remake to the original film, saying that the remake was "more real".

I am at a loss for words and at the same time I am not all that surprised. Now I have heard of one person who prefers the remake.

I haven't seen the 1998 remake, but I don't need to know that the 1960 film is the superior version.

It's gonna come off looking like I always prefer the originals (I don't. Off the top of my head, I vastly prefer the Cronenberg version of The Fly, John Carpenter's The Thing, and the Coens' True Grit.), but come on. Van Sant's movie isn't even in the same league as Hitchcock's.

Isn't this like comparing Nirvana to Nickelback?

1998 is way better of course.
Kidding!
Easily the 1960 film is far superior.

Psycho (1960) is a masterpiece.
The remake is a pathetic joke.

1960 - 9/10
1998 - 4.5/10
Maybe the biggest gap between original and remake for me.
The smallest gap between original and remake is Dawn of the Dead.

Tarantino has said some whacky things before, but this really takes the cake.

I saw the original in 1960. The audience reacted in two ways: deathly quiet after the shower scene and screaming themselves hoarse when Mother showed up.
Watched the 1998 version on tv, just out of curiosity. A pure vanity project. Did Van Sant actually think he was going to improve on Hitchcock?

Watched the 1998 version on tv, just out of curiosity. A pure vanity project. Did Van Sant actually think he was going to improve on Hitchcock? It was another one of Gus Van Sant's experimental films. He wanted to make a remake that was literally shot for shot, because it hadn't been done before. “Then I had to make the decision whether I really wanted to do it, and I was talking to Danny Elfman who I wanted to do the score, because he was so good at doing Bernard Hermann-style scores. He said, ‘You know they’ll kill you if you make this,’ he knew. And I said, ‘Who will kill me?’ and he said, ‘Everyone. The critics. Everybody that loves Psycho will kill you,’ and I said, ‘Yeah but Danny this is an experiment, this is not about who’s gonna get killed. This is about just doing it.’ And I thought, ‘It doesn’t matter if they kill me,’ and then later when I got killed it hurt.”
