    Remakes of movies?

    What movies have you cringed at when in remake and what remakes have been better? It seems like whenever they remake "freaky Friday" (there are 4 different adaptions of it) that it gets worse and worse. Parent trap I do find the 2nd remake better than the first (due to it leaving out abusive pieces).

    Gone in 60 seconds was better when remade. That gets a pass.

    Fever pitch was a British film about football. Amazing film. Then it was remade in America about Baseball and sucked big time.

    A star is born was better second time around too.

    Can I also add in that I hated when they made movies out of every TV show I grew up watching. The movies were all rubbish. The A Team. Starsky and Hutch and the likes. They made a lot of them around the same time.

    The original Annie was brilliant!!


    As much as I love Tim Burton & Depp, I think I prefer the original Willy Wonka!

    I definitely prefer the original Animal Kingdom movie to the TV Series remake.

    I don't watch many movies, but Dawn of the Dead is something that sticks in my mind as a pretty cool remake. Most of them are abhorrent trash though.
