"The Poseidon Adventure" is one of the greatest disaster film of all time but they just remake the classic with the 2006 remake film "Poseidon".

The remake is garbage

[@MHLegacy]

Well, the 1959 Ben-Hur was itself ALSO a remake of a 1925 movie that featured an epic chariot race and sea battle. And there was also a 1908 version before that. Some of the classic stories that existed before film aren't so much reboots as "a retelling." I don't like reboot-mania either, but things like Shakespeare plays, Charles Dickens stories, Biblical stories, etc. do fall into a different category. It's kind of like with Christmas music and how multiple singers do their own Christmas album and thus each have versions of the same song. It's a lot different than a contemporary song sung by two different singers causing people to get upset that so-and-so is copying so-and-so (not necessarily on copyright grounds, but on lack of creativity).

[@b_rad5651]

Thought The "Karate" Kid (2010) would've made the list. That movie was so uncalled for and a slap in the face of the original. Glad Cobra Kai is rectifying things.

[@Swordtee40]

Charlie’s Angels, Shaft, Fame, Blair Witch (even if it follows after the original, it still feels like a cheap remake), The Lion King, Flatliners, and Ghostbusters (2016) should have made the list as well.

[@markalexander3659]

I'm young enough that even the 1998 Psycho was "before my time" so (while I saw the original version first) it wasn't a "new" movie to me...but I STILL found it ridiculous and unnecessary. Psycho (1960) is one of those rare movies that even 60+ years later is still excellent very very effective. I think there are some classic movies (especially those that are adapted from novels) where due to censorship, budgetary restrictions, lack of ability to create certain effects etc could be remade and be amazing, there are also some - and Psycho (1960) is very much one of them - that just need to be left alone.

I really like and defend the 2013 version of Carrie. Sure it wasn't as different from the original as it could've been thanks to the reshoots, but there's a lot there that is more faithful to the book and works better like the secondary characters. Yeah it's flawed and the original is a better film overall, but I still enjoy that movie a lot, I wish we could mix the qualities of both of them to make the perfect Carrie movie adaptation since it's my favorite Stephen King book.

[@nv4699]

And in the 2013 version you got the feeling that Carrie and her mother actually loved each other to where the ending is really heartfelt. Here's a frightening thought... What if Carrie really was born evil what if she was something like the Antichrist and her mother knew it kind of like devil's advocate? Who would we side with then?

I’ve never heard of any these movies

[@taikohanderson2018]

Andrew Garfield should play Norman Bates...

[@RainesProductions]

Two others I might add are Pet Sematary and Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Both were pretty unnecessary.

[@hunterolaughlin]

They’ve already featured Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on their other lists. They don’t need to repeat themselves on here.

[@KittenUndercover]

You forgot every single live action Disney remake.

[@williamthomas3359]

the funny thing is that The NY Times actually rated Psycho(98) better than the 1960 original. Obviously 2 very different people, but it's still crazy to think about

[@mccuish]

I can already see the Train to Busan remake on a list like this.

[@Crazy_about_media]

Don’t think it will be good. But having Timo Tjahjanto directing it I’m a little hopeful it will be halfway watchable.

[@karlc2869]

I'm glad Back to the Future, Splash, Chariots of Fire, Summer School, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Risky Business, Flashdance, Tootsie, Kramer vs. Kramer, Annie Hall, Saturday Night Fever, Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar, Godspell, Cocktail, Platoon, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Full Metal Jacket, Patton, Gandhi, Bridge on the River Kwai, The Princess Bride, Mrs. Doubtfire and Breakin' are not remade by Hollywood and I hope they never will. I hope Hollywood will leave those intact or else they will be ruined like they did to Footloose, Fame, The Karate Kid, Arthur and Ben Hur.

Ok. But how about Death at a Funeral? The original British version is gold .. and the American remake (like 2 years later) was complete trash. The only thing it had going for it was keeping peter drinklage

[@collegebro85]

2003 Chainsaw is FAR superior to the 70’s version in every way…it took a film solely set out to shock the audience and made it into a VERY creepy serial killer horror that is the blueprint for how to reboot a franchise as well as make a film truly scary!

[@LightHawkAlchemist]

Agreed

[@RisingBeast00]

While I agree that the 2003 remake is a damn good and effective horror movie I don't know if I can call it better than the original.

[@richardperaza5083]

OK not more superior than the OG but the 03 it was pretty good

[@olvialee7221]

Sydney Prescott: Don’t f*** with the original

[@lealmelisa]

Great list!!! They definitelly watered down the quality of the originals....the end of the planets of the apes remake still makes me cringe.

[@olvialee7221]

500: I actually enjoyed Carrie. Saw it in theaters on my birthday at San Francisco. In my opinion, I like Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie

[@williamthomas3359]

I saw the 2003 made for tv remake first, before seeing the original. I absolutely hated the remake, but the 1976 original was a masterpiece. Soooooooooo good.

[@olvialee7221]

@@williamthomas3359 That’s your opinion and I have no argument against that

[@Stonecutter334]

But why was it made? Plus Chloe is way too cute to play Carrie.

[@waka_wallgaming3181]

"Reboots no one asked for" I clicked immediately to see how high up the Star Wars sequel trilogy would be on this list

[@jimmymelendez1836]

They're just sequels, they're not reboots.

[@gustyko8668]

Thank God, they didn't include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory this time around!!

[@hunterolaughlin]

I agree. They’ve already featured it on their similar lists that it’s just gotten old. Better to focus on other remakes and reboots instead.

[@michellebusch492]

"A Freddy Krueger movie doesn't make sense without the involvement of actor Robert Englund" a wise and true statement.

[@olvialee7221]

20 -I liked the original trilogy better 19 -never seen it but it’s bad as it is 18 -yeah, didn’t see this 17 -didn’t see it. I like Russell Brand but he’s better in other movies 16 -Saw it and I love it. Carrie is the only movie I like from Stephen King 15 -heard it’s good but didn’t see it. My parents did 14 -I like Robin Hood. Didn’t like 2018 version that much, only the Disney movie 13 -that scared my dad for sure but the remake looks meh 12 -didn’t see it 11 -didn’t see it 10 -didn’t see it 9 -looks awesome but didn’t see it 8 -didn’t see it 7 -I saw it 6 -I saw the original, liked it 5 -Saw the creepy original but not the remake 4 -I love HellBoy. I don’t mind gore and action in other movies but the remake is pure awful of blah, blah, blah 3 -Didn’t see it, only the trailer 2 -Heard of it but didn’t see it, except for the funny parody in Family Guy 1 -I’m not crazy enough to see that

[@darlafetterman3598]

I absolutely agree with every single word you said! Thanks for saying them! 😁

[@erinlizzie09]

I will never watch another version of Footloose. Kevin Bacon and all the rest of the cast are not to be replaced. It's one of the best movies of the 80's IMO.

[@ninoortega7946]

I will agree the movie red dawn (2012) was something that nobody ask for; but when you look at now it makes since that they would put North Korea as the big bad, when you think about recent years you think about how North Korea has made strides in long range missile as well as causing more and more panic in recent years.

[@user-em6ie2be7x]

Starky & Hutch & The Dukes of Hazard. My Parent hated those movie remakes when compared to the originals.

[@coryakabueze4541]

Ghostbusters 2016 should be number 1

[@olvialee7221]

499: What about 2015’s Fantastic Four? That bombed, bad and I hate it
