Do these movie remakes make a lot of money even though they are really bad?
Saw the movie FAME (2009) and didnt like it
Also seen the remakes of
PSYCHO
THE WICKER MAN (Nick Cage)
THE HITCHER
THE IN-LAWS
THE OMEN
PLANET OF THE APES

All bad remakes imho

Sylvester Stallone is remaking DEATH WISH
Also remaking FOOTLOOSE

The only good remakes Ive seen are
CAPE FEAR
THE ITALIAN JOB
THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR

The hitcher remake was horrendous.

Agree with you about Cape Fear (My sister is named after Max Cady only its spelt Cadey lol)

I liked the Rob Zombie remake of Halloween and the Hills have Eyes remakes.

No need IMO for a remake of either fame or footloose—-they were crap the first time round lol !!

It would depend on how many people bought them

these things are products of their environment which is why – if you have seen the original – the remake just doesn’t cut it. No-one today would understand or appreciate the tension and sadness of Brief Encounter.

There are a lot of horrendous remakes, but there are good ones as well.

The Blob (1988)
The Thing
The Grudge
The Ring
The Departed
Ocean’s Eleven
Dawn of the Dead
The Fly (1986)
Scarface (1982)
King Kong

All remakes, and in some cases I think they are better than the originals.

Not really no but the studio’s employ hundreds if not thousands of people full time and so while not making a movie (even a rubbish remake) they must pay them for nothing , if the movie covers the wage bill then that’s fine,
it’s a bit like the UK police force they employ a million people but only solve about 3 crimes a year so the rest of the time they just provoke drunks and annoy drivers so it looks like they do something .

Sorry Naz, but the Italian Job is not a patch on the original.

The worse re make has to be The Pink Panther, Really the most awful cliche riddled American idea of what France is like.

Not funny, yet they made a second one.
