some stories never get old

the final scene
It Happened One Night(1934)


Ye raat bheegi bheegi
Chori Chori(1956)


Dil hai ke maanta nahi
Dil Hai Ke Maanta Nahi(1991)

Never has been a story told thrice in 3 different generations, among 3 different kind of social perspectives and with 3 of the best heroes of their times. And everytime, it has been loved even though each scene was ditto and the dialogues were near same. But the original remains original, you have got to see Clark Gable to believe it (its available on youtube too).

some fantastic dialogues (picked up from imdb)-
Alexander Andrews: Oh, er, do you mind if I ask you a question, frankly? Do you love my daughter?
Peter Warne: Any guy that'd fall in love with your daughter ought to have his head examined.
Alexander Andrews: Now that's an evasion!
Peter Warne: She picked herself a perfect running mate - King Westley - the pill of the century! What she needs is a guy that'd take a sock at her once a day, whether it's coming to her or not. If you had half the brains you're supposed to have, you'd done it yourself, long ago.
Alexander Andrews: Do you love her?
Peter Warne: A normal human being couldn't live under the same roof with her without going nutty! She's my idea of nothing!
Alexander Andrews: I asked you a simple question! Do you love her?
Peter Warne: YES! But don't hold that against me, I'm a little screwy myself!
