The original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a fucking classic. All of these new teeny-bopper bullshit Hollywood movies are shit when compared to classic horror. Is it the best horror movie ever? No. But it is ONE of the best horror movies. It beats the SHIT out of garbage like "House Of The Dead" and "FearDotSHIT."

EXACTLY Very well said. In fact, I'm playing it right now. They really did a great job restoring it for the DVD. Watching it today, reminded me of just how much I love it.

TCM Original
 
The original was pretty boring and was not scary. But I respect the movie because it was made in the 70's and there was not any movies that could measure up to its level. If I was born like in the 60's and saw this movie I would probraly be scared shitless.

The original TCM is the ultimate exemple of a atmosphere horror movie. Not much of a story here, but the atmosphere is delightfully frightening. You can "taste" the personage's fear trough the movie and the madness of the whole Leatherface familly was well depicted by the camera views and filming in general. Tobe Hooper made a hell of a classic with this one.

And what about the finale? Wasn't it a ggod depiction of the whole Leatherface character to see him just waving around his chainsaw, twirling in the middle of the empty road??

The remake isn't all that bad, but can never recreate the TCM original atmosphere. What's been done perfectly don't need to be redone.
