Movie Remakes

[retrodj]

With so many 80's films being remade currently, what does everyone think? are they a good idea to let new generations enjoy films we enjoyed in our youth or are they just an easy way to make some extra cash for the studios.
What films should never be remade and which films would benefit from a new perspective?

They should definitely never remake back to the future.

I think your right on both counts, Of course their money spinners Because we'll go and see them aswell. But can you imagine showing a youth a old version of a Bela Lugosi film they would be wondering where all the blood and special effects were:).
