1. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Sorry, but this is one cult classic that did not need to be touched, even by the likes of Depp.

2. Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Depp tries to fuck up another one.

3. Friday the 13th (2009)

There are more sequels to the original than I can count on my fingers. Then they felt obliged to remake the original? Why?

4. Psycho (1998)

Seriously?

5. Clash of the Titans (2010)

I have to admit, I did like the special effects and, for the most part, the acting in the remake. However, the original is one of my childhood favorites.

6. Planet of the Apes (2001)

Again, there were aspects of it that I liked, but McDowall vs. Wahlberg? No contest.

7. A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010)

See note on Friday the 13th.

8. The A-Team (2010)

Not really a remake, but why? There is, and will always be, only ONE A-Team.

9. Cruel Intentions (1999)

This one pisses me off more than any other. Not so much a "remake," but rather a rip off of one of my favorite movies. Then, they had the audacity to create not one, but TWO sequels!

10. Poseidon (2006)

Another one of my childhood favorites. Gene Hackman can do no wrong.

Sorry Steve, but Peter Sellers has you beat.

Michael Caine or Sly Stallone? No comparison.

Not the same, Daniel-son.

Why, on God's green earth, were these remakes made? If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Admittedly, there are some very good remakes out there, that do their originals justice. These are not them, in my humble opinion.
