Before getting too negative, it has to be pointed out that remakes aren’t inherently evil or a sign of creative bankruptcy. It might be easier to say flat out that remakes are bad or remakes are pointless, but some of the greatest movies of all time were based on earlier films, often improving those originals or offering something updated/new .
Let Me In A bullied young boy befriends a young female vampire who lives in secrecy with her guardian. A remake of the movie “Let The Right One In” which was an adaptation of a book.9 'Psycho' Director: Gus Van Sant It’s hard to talk about remakes without addressing the 1998 version of Psycho, given it’s arguably one of the most infamous in cinema history. The original is a beloved and boundary-pushing classic, and one many would call Alfred Hitchcock’s best.
7 'City of Angels' Director: Brad Silberling City of Angels falls into the same camp as Let Me In, being a remake of a superior foreign film, translating things into English but not doing a great deal else. Unlike Let Me In, though, City of Angels feels like it takes away more things that made the film it remade, Wings of Desire, so good. It’s much more direct, lacks subtlety, and feels kind of cheesy.
5 'The Heartbreak Kid' Directors: Bobby Farrelly, Peter Farrelly As a sibling filmmaking duo, the Farrelly Brothers have had their successes here and there, but their take on The Heartbreak Kid isn't one of their finer efforts. It’s a remake of the underrated 1972 film of the same name which was directed by Elaine May, herself one of the most underrated directors in the history of American cinema.
