What's a Better Movie Sinatra's Ocean's 11 or Manchurian Candidate

The modern remakes cannot compare to the originals. I think Manchurian Candidate is a better film do to it's darker subject matter. A real testimony to Frank's acting ability. In an election year, it's pretty scary film.

I love them both, but Manchurian has better story line, dialogue.

I think Frank portraying similar bachelor characters in Frank Capra's "A Hole in the Head" & Neil Simon's screenplay "Come Blow Your Horn" with Tony Bill, are enduring enough to be viewed again & again with enjoyment,like a Sinatra album. With "All My Tomorrows" the theme from the Capra movie deservedly a Cahn-van Heusen Oscar song but 2nd to "High Hopes",is worth listening to inside or out of the film. And Nelson Riddle's arrangement of "Come Blow Your horn" is a classic though a little different in the movie; Frank goes up the octave @ the end, but not in the Reprise recording.
