Tombstone is my choice. The cast was totally awesome. I wouldn't replace a single one.

The Great Escape
Where Eagles Dare They Were Expendable ... and too many more to list. Many movies should not be remade, but Hollywood can't resist the siren song of money from a sure hit from the past.

Jaws I love Jaws and if they could get 3 actors who were good at playing the main charachters plus with cg what it is now I think it would be great. Sadly they would end of picking 3 morons who can't act and low budget the cg and screw up the whole thing. |

99.87% of remakes suck.
Hollywood makes them because (A) they can't think of anything new, and (B) enough suckers will pay for a theater ticket so that the studios make a small profit. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Smokey and the Bandit. Tidbit: The jumping over the ravine scene was shot on US 78 between Jasper and Birmingham, where a bridge had been burned to the ground due to a semi crash if I remember correctly, in that particular section of 4-lane highway. It took several years for the bridge to be replaced. During the bridge rebuild time, the southbound traffic was diverted to one side of the northbound lanes. My mom and I had two close friends from Birmingham that were hit head-on while traveling northbound over the remaining bridge during this time. They were elderly, and never fully recovered from their serious injuries. I know, CSB.

Should not be re-made because even if you pickled them in a 55 gallon drum of testosterone for a month, you could not find enough modern actors to recreate the manliness of the original cast. It definitely shows through...now we have Shia LaWhateverthefuckhisnameis.

Movies where I liked the re-make better than the original are: This re-make was much better than the 1950's original movie. The original and this re-make are both great film classics. I juts prefer this one because I don't like to read subtitles and I can't speak Japanese. 
This remake movie was better than the 1932 original. |

The Day the Earth Stood Still--too late!
Ghostbusters--too late! Strangelove Young Frankenstein Blazing Saddles Space Balls Casablanca Zorro, the Gay Blade The Princess Bride We Were Soldiers Jaws Full Metal Jacket Black Hawk Down ETA: yes, Magnificent Seven & The Thing Meh, it's easier to say: 99.9% of them. The remake of War of the Worlds was surprising different than the 1950s version & was an acceptable difference. The Denzel Washington "Man on Fire" was way better than the first one with (I think) Peter Coyote, so they got that one better |
