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 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. |

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.

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?
