Lots of movies are pointlessly remade in my lofty opinion.

I nominate Groundhog Day,

I don’t think a remake of Thelma & Louise could ever evoke the same audience response as the original.


Personally, I just can’t imagine a worthy remake of My Brilliant Career.

I second The Princess Bride and Shawshank Redemption.


I'm not a fan of remakes (be original or get out of my face), but I can't think of another movie that comes together so well that a remake would be a crime.

I think it’s interesting that Hollywood tried a whole string of remakes with gender reversals - Ghostbusters, Overboard, What men want, Hustlers (Dirty rotten scoundrels).


None of these movies were all that brilliant, but they were entertaining to watch.

The Vanishing.


And a pox on the person who DID remake it, in English for an American market, and completely changed the ending so that the film lost all its lingering horror.
