As with most remakes, the original is far and away the better flick!!

I agree. I HATED the remake and the Mustang that was in it!

Razor: $100,000

For $13, you can get a Gillette ProGlide razor with two blade refills; for $100,000 you can get the Zafirro Iridium razor, which boasts that it was designed by experts in the fields of rocket engine manufacturing, nanotechnology and particle physics. It’s the first razor to be made with sapphire blades, and it also features a handle centerpiece made from 99.95% pure iridium and platinum hexagonal screws.

If you spring for a bottle of the Macallan Master Decanter Series M whiskey, you’d better savor every sip. This single malt whiskey, which was aged for up to 73 years, sells for $5,559.99.

What does $56 laundry detergent smell like? According to The Laundress, their signature detergent’s classic scent is “the ultimate ‘clean laundry smell,’ blending lily of the valley and jasmine with sweet musk, sandalwood and a touch of citrus.”

Buying La Mer is probably the closest you can get to spreading money all over your face. The brand’s signature Moisturizing Soft Cream — made with its patented Miracle Broth — costs $1,250 for an 8.4-ounce jar.

You can literally flush money down the toilet by purchasing the Neorest 750H Dual Flush Toilet, which costs nearly $14,000. It does come with some fancy bells and whistles that almost justify the insane price tag, however: It’s self-cleaning and also features a heated seat, deodorizer and warm water sprays.

Getting a good night’s sleep is said to be priceless, but the cost of this flat sheet might challenge that. The SFERRA Giza 45 Seta flat sheet is “crafted with the world’s finest and rarest Egyptian cotton” and retails for $1,691 for a king-size sheet. That’s just for the flat sheet — if you add a king-size fitted sheet, that’s an extra $1,585, and it’s an extra $557 for each standard-size pillowcase.

Most fine fragrances are expensive, but Chanel’s N°5 Parfum Grand Extrait is on another level with a price tag of $2,150 for 7.6 fluid ounces. What makes this perfume so pricey is actually the bottle, which is hand-sealed by baudruchage, a process that involves covering the neck of the bottle with a fine membrane, which is held in place by a strand of pearl-cotton thread and then sealed with a wax stamp.

Mason Pearson is the creme de la creme of brush brands, and with a sticker price of $240, you’d hope that it could magically style your hair for you. Alas, it’s just a very expensive hairbrush made from boar bristles and nylon tufts, though it does claim to smooth and sleek hair better than other brushes.
