Funny you say that - was watching the remake of The Day of the Jackal only yesterday (called The Jackal, Bruce Willis) and it really strikes that whilst it's sort of entertainment it's really ho hum against Fox's original. Day of The Jackal is right up there with something like (the first) The Italian Job for me - period cars and detail, super scenery, good story with a twist, what more can you want? And Fox is brilliant in that.
