What is your opinion on remakes? Does it help people to appreciate the original? Or do you believe in "not ruining a good thing"? Do you think that remakes help make a movie more enjoyable for audiences than a dated classic? Discuss.

The Flight of the Pheonix was a good remake. I like remakes, but if they change the entire twist of it (When a Stranger Calls) I really think it ruins the old one. So it's so-so that I beleive in the "Ruining and Old One" thing.

Most of the time they ruin the original. Then again, if you get so used to the original, you're bound to have high expectations of the remake.

Don't ruin a good thing! If a movie's good, don't try to make money off it by redoing it! Agh!

Well, I don't know about that, but if/when you get your custom title, you can request something like that.

Lol. Seriously, movies should do something original once in a while. One that isn't a remake or a book or from a video game or something.

I know, right? It gets old after awhile. Except for The Princess Bride, because that movie rocked out loud.

Totally. Plus it was way better than the book. For once!
