The Wicker Man. Nuff said :dry:
The Lake House ... Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock remake of a Korean film called Il Mare ... they changed it so much it made no sense whatsoever ... but most people prob won't have seen the original so ...
Day The Earth Stood Still... embarrassingly enough, another Keanu film though I myself quite like him as an actor ...
(Most disappointing sequel ... Transformers 2 ... what a pile of ...)
As much as i like some of his other work, Tim Burton did a shite job of Planet of the Apes
A lot of French films were murdered by Hollywood remakes...
For example La Femme Nikita by Luc Besson with the gorgeous Anne Parrilaud was turned into The Assassin with Bridget Fonda - truly awful
Another of my favourites La Cage aux Folles was turned into The Bird Cage - total crap.
I had heard about the Italian Job and avoided it. Remaking Get Carter is unforgiveable.
The Italian job was fine.
How about the 2nd King Kong. Jeff Bridges and Jessica Lange. Yes it is a man in in a monkey suit.
Mac & Me.
E.T. ripoff.
Forced to sit through the whole thing. The effort hurt my brain.
The worst ever remake by far has got to be the Vinnie Jones version of Mean Machine.
That said though, this should be considered revenge for the list of countless crap American remakes of Brit classics, er, just like Get Carter.
The tempest. . Punk version of Shakespeare's play, we were blushing down the Kings road for weeks .
I have to agree with Sassy, Wickerman with Nicolas Cage is utter crap.
Since I first saw the original back in the 70s I have had an ambition to see the Summer Isles...I'll get there one day.
