Remakes

I was going to open up a discussion topic now.

What do you people think about the remakes that Hollywood are doing now?
Are there really no ideas what so ever on new films.

I have seen two trends that are really strong in Hollywood the last few years.

1. Remakes on really good old films/foreign film, making them really poor!
2. Making films of comic-books and mangas (an one or two books).

This discussion subject will be remakes (I will make on on the making of films of comics later).

So what do you think about the remakes? Do they need to make remakes?
What films has had a better remake than the original film, are there any?

Well, it's all up to you to start discussing!
