You know, remakes get a bad rap. Did you know Ocean's 11 was a remake? What about 3:10 to Yuma? What about True Grit? And a hundred others. Truth is, [i]remakes are fine.[/i] The problem with a shitty remake isn't that it's a remake -- the problem is that it's a shitty one. 

But, maybe I'm wrong about that. !RemindMe: 100 years

To add to the listed, Scarface was also a remake, as well as John Carpenter's The Thing.

I personally have no issues with remakes of films as long as the remake tries to separate itself from the original.
