1982 movie vs. 1999 movie

I personally liked the song changes. I liked "NYC" better than "Let's go to the movies". I loved "Something was missing" but that might just be because I love Victor Garber's singing voice. I was sorta disappointed that they didn't keep "Dumb dog" and "Sandy" in the 1999 version. I didn't really miss "We got Annie". What are you thoughts?

Actually, the only "song changes" were made to 1982 version."Let's Go to the Movies", "We Got Annie", "Dumb Dog", and "Sandy" were all written for the 1982 version. The 1999 includes most of the original songs from the musical.
I like the 1982 version for the cast and the 1999 version because it has more of the songs from the musical. Honestly, I prefer the 1999 version, but only a bit more than the 1982 one.

I was referring to the song changes between the 1982 moive and 1999 movie not the Broadway show to the movies. I actually prefer the cast in the 1999 version. Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth, Victor Garber, and Kathy Bates were all really good.

I like the 1999 version it sticks closely to the musical version.

I hatedt he tv film. it sugar coatedt he story even more. took out Hannigans drinking, ..everyone was miscast except Cumming.


The 1982 film had a cast of legends. the great Albeert Finney as Warbucks, Comic master Carol Burnett as Hannigan , Tim Curry,Bernadette Peters,Ann Reinking,Edward Herrmann,Geoffry holder. amazing really.

The film wasnt great, but the tv version was a disaster.
