Are there are any fine art examples in which you so much love the original form that you choose to avoid "follow-up" versions?
Three that come to mind for me:
The song "Ode to Billie Joe" by Bobbie Gentry -- since a boy of six years old, I love the song so much I still choose not to watch the movie based upon the song
The original version of the 'children's' book "A Day with Wilbur Robinson" by William Joyce -- I fell in love with the book as a late-twenty-something adult; I love Joyce's artwork and humour; a movie 'Meet the Robinsons" was made (have not watched it) and after the movie release, Joyce "re-did" the book; I've not looked closely at the new version; I love the original
The 1997 original Austrian movie "Funny Games" directed by Michael Haneke -- Haneke remade his own movie into an English-language film; I refuse to watch the remake - - the original is superlative, excellent and flawless in all ways to me
EDIT: Ha! "Funny Games" is Austrian yet I realize the image I posted features the French language :)
