Ocean's Eleven didn't suck, per se, but it also was nowhere near as good as the original.

I'll have to think on this as most of my choices have already been mentioned.

The Three Musketeers has been made as a motion picture at least 6 times in the US alone (not counting the John Wayne Foreign Legion version). I admit that I have not seen all of the versions but I'm pretty sure the 1993 version sucked compared to them all.

1961 (silent) with Orrin Johnson(???)
1921 (silent) with Douglas Fairbanks
1939 Don Ameche and the Ritz Brothers
1948 Gene Kelly and Lana Turner
1973 - The version I grew up with with Michael York, Oliver Reed, Raquel Welch, and Charlton Heston as the Cardinal.

1993 - the brat pack.:sick:

The '73 version was all that. The '93 was lame.

John Carpenter's "The Thing" was much better than the original 1951 version "The Thing from another World"

Little Shop of Horrors never needed to be a musical.

Hairspray. Haven't and won't see the new one, but come on, people, there is no reason for things like this!

Most of the recent crop of vintage TV goes to the big screen. If it didn't work on the little box for free in the house, it ain't going to work for $10 a head plus popcorn and soda. I will shamefacedly admit that I enjoyed The Addams Family, but not the sequel, and of course, most of the even numbered Star Trek films, and a few of the odd numbered ones.

Live-action versions of cartoons should be banned.

Evil Dead 2. (didn't suck compared to the original)...of course, Evil Dead was essentially a remake of the short film In The Woods...but I don't know if it counts when the director is the same.

I actually rather liked the Little Shop of Horrors musical.

I'm not a Clooney or Pitt fan, but I'll stand by my belief that O 11 was better with them in it.

I liked the remake of Sabrina better than the original.
I liked the Steve Martin Father of the Bride better than the Elizabeth Taylor version.
And I like the Disney made for TV Annie better than the Carol Burnett version.

I'm sure these opinions will get me burned for heresy somewhere along the line. But I yam what I yam.

I really like the movie Always, with Holly Hunter, Richard Dreyfus, and John Goodman. I never knew it was a remake. I was reading the guide for the movie A guy Named Joe, and I realized it was the original Always.

Here Comes Mr Jordan is much better than Heaven Can Wait.

I am fearful that some Hollywood Mogul will rediscover the Marx Brothers.

However, No Way Out was better than The Big Clock.

And damn, there's another noir classic that was remade around the same time that worked fairly well ... Gene Hackman was in it ... oh crap, I can't think of it ... there's a chick, and a train ... and ... umm .... thanks to Google, I now know it's Narrow Margin.

Edit again ... there was a run of these sorts of movies around the same time ... D.O.A. was a remake of another film noir flick. I liked the Dennis Quaid/Meg Ryan version better.

All of them

When A Stranger Calls. The whole point of the original was you didn't know where the call was coming from. Then they did a remake where the trailer told the audience where the call was coming from.
What was the freaking point?

Oh, and whatever happened to the reported Harvery remake? That might make me torch Hollywood.

One more remake that's better than the original:

The Lindsay Lohan Parent Trap.

The Judy Garland Wizard of Oz was better than the earlier versions. :)
