The names are not exactly the same and since the story lines are different it is not a remake anyway.

QT's movie is Inglourious Basterds (note both words are misspelled)

The 1978 movie was The Inglorious Bastards. It is more similar to The Dirty Dozen than it is to Inglourious Basterds.

The 1978 movie actually had several names. The most common being Quel maledetto treno blindato. It is an Italian made movie. The other names used for this movie were:

"Counterfeit Commandos" - USA (reissue title)
"Deadly Mission" - USA (video title)
"G.I. Bro" - USA (recut version)
"Hell's Heroes" - USA (video title)
"The Dirty Bastard" - Philippines (English title)
"The Inglorious Bastards" - USA

[Road Runner]

Just worked out my list of favourites........ and even I think it's a little bizarre.  

In no particular order:-

Blade Runner  -  The Director's Cut more than the other versions.
The Long Good Friday  -  best gangster film ever.
Mona Lisa
Das Boot
Tora! Tora! Tora!
El Mariachi  -  comic book fiction in a film.
Desperado  -  polished comic book fiction in a film.
Alien  -  watch it on a big screen as Ridley intended  NOT on a TV!
The Crying Game  -  not just because Jay Davidson looks good in a dress!
A Night To Remember  -  the only decent and reasonably accurate Titanic film.
The Shining  -  maybe the best horror film made, it still scares the hell out of me.
Barry Lyndon
Chinatown  -  You can't eat the Venetian blinds. I just had them installed on Wednesday.
Being There  -  the US political system laid bare!
Leon  -  watch the European version. (The US release was carved up so much it changed the whole point of the film!)
Nikita  -  an action film where the actors not only can act, they do act and really, really well.
The Killing Fields  -  I still find it hard to watch.
Zulu  -  Sixty! We dropped at least 60, wouldn't you say?   That leaves only 3,940.

There is only one film and one book.

Catch 22.

"It was love at fist sight. The first time Yosarian saw the chaplain he fell madly in love with him".

Literary exstacy.

The Israel thread reminded me of a movie that is timeless:

The Odessa File

(f0xxee @ Jun. 08 2010,06:14) There is only one film and one book.

Catch 22.

"Don't tell me God works in mysterious ways," Yossarian continued, hurtling on over her objection. "There's nothing so mysterious about it. He's not working at all. He's playing. Or else He's forgotten all about us. That's the kind of God you people talk about - a country bumpkin, a clumsy, bungling, brainless, conceited, uncouth hayseed. Good God, how much reverence can you have for a Supreme Being who finds it necessary to include such phenomena as phlegm and tooth decay in His divine system of creation? What in the world was running through that warped, evil, scatological mind of His when He robbed old people of the power to control their bowel movements? Why in the world did He ever create pain?"
"Pain?" Lieutenant Scheisskopf's wife pounced upon the word victoriously. "Pain is a useful symptom. Pain is a warning to us of bodily dangers."
"And who created the dangers?" Yossarian demanded ... "Why couldn't He have used a doorbell instead to notify us?"

Joseph Heller was a genius. I loved the book, the film not so much. But I was always sceptical that the book could be condensed into a movie.

I remember it took me an age to finish the book because I read & re-read each section slowly so as to savour it as one might linger over a great meal.

Whatever happened to Major Major Major Major?  Now there was a clever name to give a kid....
