Which is your personal favourite version of The Omen?

The 1976 version with Greg Peck or the 2006 remake with Julia Stiles??

Mine is the original of course (I WOULDNT GIVE THE REMAKE 2 SECONDS OF MY TIME!!)

The original The Omen is a classic. The remake was pretty good, Mia Farrow was excellent as Mrs. Baylock.

I also prefer the original one. It gave me the creeps the first time I saw it and that's what you want in good scary/horror movie.

I prefer the original. I didn't care for the remake.

I recently read that Lifetime ordered a series adaptation. I wonder how that's going to turn out.

The original, as I've never cared to watch the re-make version!

As with virtually everything else, the original is better. I never understand the logic of trying to redo something that was perfectly fine to begin with.

They did it just to shoehorn in a 666 reference.
