Content Idea: The Remake and the Original

I just rewatched "I am Legend". Knowing that it is based on a book that was already made into a movie (twice), I decided to watch the original 1964 movie "The Last Man on Earth".
Maybe this could make for an interesting podcast - watch the contemporary movie, and the original it was based on - then compare and contrast.
What are some other remakes and originals that could be analyzed? Ocean's 11. What else?

When all is said and done... you're looking at 20 man hours to end up with a 1 - 2 hour podcast. That's unworkable.
Personally, I'm hoping that Jim and Aron devote that time to the inevitable Mad Men rewatch.
You could honestly do a whole podcast just on how Asian cinema has influenced Hollywood and vice versa.
