Well Skip, I can't suggest any movie that's outstanding for original thought at the the moment, but I really have to agree with your complaint about remakes. Some other "What the Hell Were They Thinking?" remakes are the updated "Godzilla", "The Mummy", "The Nutty Professor", and "Doctor Doolittle." But please let me embellish on your rant if you don't mind..............
My real pet peeve is Hollywood's mindset of "If they loved ONE movie about.......(insert subject of your own choice like Superheroes or Disasters)..........then they'll LOVE a half dozen more!!! OR....Why can't they think of something NEW instead of turning every old TV show or comic book or cartoon show into a movie???? There are movies out there that just had no business being made.....i.e. The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, The Flintstones, The Beverly Hillbillies, Dennis the Menace, and the "Brady Bunch" movies.
Ok...I'm turning the soap box back over to Skip now.........
