The problem I have with the film industry at the moment is they are acting like they have run out of ideas.
2 out of every 3 films are remakes sequels or just cashing in on a franchise

We have a list here to vote on the remakes but lets not forget for every one film we mention there is probably 5 we don't mention
Assault on precinct 13
Salems lot
Fright nite
Children of the corn defiantly 100% worst remake I've ever seen
Bangkok dangerous
Rollerball
Fame
Crazies
3:10 to Yuma
Fog
Straw dogs
Arthur
Italian job
Clash of the titans
Pink panther
When a stranger calls
Stepfather
Hitches
Total recall
War of the worlds
Ocean 11
Funny games

The list of remakes is endless its like the film industry wants to rewrite every film made and make them a remake

Don't get me wrong the odd remake is fine and acceptable and works brilliantly

Scarf ace
The thing
Invasion of the body snatchers
Fly

But there is to many and a constant flood of them like they have not got owt else better to do

We had just about every j horror remade and here a few in the pipeline


Birds
Black hole
Robocop
Brood apparently as we'll as videodrome that's been mentioned
Dune
Drop dead fred
Flash Gordon
Fletch
Flight of the navigator
Highlander
Honey I shrunk the kids
Porkies
Red dawn
Carrie
Child's pLay
West world
Pet cemetery
Point break
Barbarella
Death wish
Time bandits
Leather weapon
Wild bunch
Romancing the stone

That's just a few but could find at least another 70/80

Moral of the story is the remake scenario is getting beyond a joke and look like no film at all is safe hell I'm surprised they. haven't remade Star Wars and plans for lord rings remake isn't in the pipeline

certain films should just be left alone,
