I like the 1974 version of Murder on The Orient Express very much. David Suchet in his behind the scenes video about the making of his version was very aware that they had a big job ahead of them to be as well received as the 1974 version was. I think remakes often have the problem of being as well made as the original was. David Suchet didn't do a bad job in his version but in my mind Albert Finney was great in that movie. And of course there are the problems I outlined above as well when a book is made into a movie, remake or not.
