Movie Remakes that really suck compared to the originals
 

I just saw the tail end of the original 'The In-Laws' on TV this afternoon (Serpentine Shelly. Serpentine! ) , and I am once again reminded how many remakes suck compared to the original. I'm not talking just a little worse, I'm talking monumentally inferior.

Anyone else have any nominations?

The Italian Job

The Wicker Man
I did see somewhere they'd remade the Hitcher? Ouch. I also believe they are remaking Barbarella....that kind of sucks as an idea.

Planet of the Apes
Time Machine

War of the Worlds.

was there an original? in any event, Tom cruise is a faggot.

Yes, and the original was better.

I liked the musical version.

Psycho. What was the point? Oh yeah, $$$. But I wonder if it even made any money?

To be fair, you should at least wait until the remake is released until you judge it.

Worst ever. I was actually angry about that pos.

Gone in 60 Seconds.

Dawn of the Dead.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978?).

The Blob.

The Getaway.

Mmm, I had the musical soundtrack to that on vinyl at one point...

Farewell, Thunder Child.


(Ulla!)

Poseidon Adventure.

I didn't even actually realize that some of these movies were remakes (never saw either the old or new versions though, so I guess it doesn't really matter either way.) But honestly, could anyone name a remake that didn't really suck compared to the original?

Ocean's Eleven
