there's been a lot of movie re-makes. is the film industry getting lazy, run out of ideas or just want to improve as technology changes...?

Couldn't agree more. The original French, 'Nikita,' Get Carter and Day of the Jackal have all been ruined by Hollywood.

sigh

Most remakes are disappointments because they are dumbed-down versions of the original. Add action, take away dialogue, add special effects, take away plot, add major marketing campaign and voila.

Trying to think which remakes were better than the original, imo

Scarface
The Mummy
The nutty Professor

There's a list that I looked at and there are some movies on there that I didn't even know were remakes :-OO
