I've noticed a trend lately of redoing movies for the "new" audience.
Be it tv shows (Charlie's Angels, The Fugitive etc) and also with movies.
We've had Get Carter (and ANYONE that loves films knows why this was a bad move and doomed to failure).
They're remaking Mean Machine as well as a slew of others.
Why not just re-release the original movies and let us see them on a big screen?
I was too young to watch Jaws at the cinema when it came out, I've never experienced it with Dolby Digital stereo shaking my seat.
Same with other classic movies, Star Wars was re-released and did massive business, why not others?
I would love to see things like The Great Escape, Zulu, The Italian Job, Long Good Friday and so many more up there in 35mm glory.
There's no need to remake classic movies, just let us see them in their original format please.

Mr Lucas did the same with his Star Wars films. Although he didn't really change a lot.

Yeah, but then you had George Sluzier remaking The Vanishing for Hollywood.
The original is bleak, claustrophobic and intense. A fantastic little Dutch thriller.
But he redid it for Hollywood and gave it a happy ending complete with running through the woods finale.
Awful,awful grabbing at the money bags there.

Remakes are often bad.
The Haunting was a great movie set in a spooky old house.
The new version was just dire, with some dumb dead ghost man stealing children or something.
But what about when directors go back and remake one of their own films, now that they have a good reputation, and can get decent budgets.
Wasn't 'Desperado' a kind of remake of 'El Mariachi', but with a huge budget?

That film sucks like you wouldnt believe.

Souless remake of classic movies are not on.

You could apply the same to songs. A lot of songs are copied or some parts or just lifted off them.
To me there are only a handful of songs that are better than their predecessor.
Anyway i agree with Goatboy. Some films are just too good to be re-done. You know they are re-making Get Carter with Sylvester Stallone (don't know if that's spelt right, but you Adrian!, ADRIAN!) playing the role of Carter? How sad is that?
