The basic idea is to have a different kind of movie night.

1. Watch the original movie
2. Have dinner
3. Watch the remake of the movie

To mix it up we may watch movies based on classic TV shows as well. Maybe watch a few episodes of a series and then the movie.

Here is a list of movies and classic TV series made into movies. Feel free to vote for the next pair of movies to watch next. Also feel free to suggest more movies.
