Worst remakes ever...
1. Dukes of Hazzard
2. Poseidon Adventure
what else?
A tv remake of the Yearling with Jean Smart and Peter Strauss was pretty unforgivable.
They took the old plot of a woman who had three infants die and she was afraid to show any affection to her eldest surviving child, and made it that the father interferred with her upbringing, telling her she was babying him too much, so she had to take a feminist approach when the boy ran away.
Every single remake ever made.
the person who told you to be yourself couldn't have been more of an idoit.
Every remake except The Fly, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and The Man Who Knew Too Much. maybe a few others.
shareI agree most remakes are horrid, especially made-for-tv-versions like this film. Arggh!

A Star is Born with Judy Garland and James Mason (remake), worse than the Janet Gaynor version?
shareI'v tried 4 times to watch the "Dukes" and made it 15 minutes before falling asleep each time. I give up. The movie Sucks!
shareIt's alright, your not missing much. I think my IQ dropped because of that movie.

Giving the movie the same name doesn't really qualify it as a remake, IMO, not when you completely change the plot and characters. About the only thing this movie had in common with the original was the ocean. I'm surprised they didn't set it in outer space.
sharePlanet of Apes
No contest with the original of Charlton heston.
The Fog, That was crap...This change it into some cheap rip off of The Sixth Sense.
The Ammityville Horror, They had no original plot of the original or the novel, the supposded 'true story'. The remake uses fiction with fact.
Never watched the Dukes of Hazzard, so didn't bother with the film.
But I watched the first couple of minutes of this one, saw where it was going, and switched to something else, seeing bits and pieces while the other thing had commericals.
Never mind the terrorist cr@p there are just some stories that can't be taken out of their time frame!!!!
High Society
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Fog
Doug Roberts: What do they call it when you kill people?
The Towering Inferno

Tom Cruise/Speilburg's War of the Worlds was pretty awefull for a remake of a remake of a radio show remake of a turn of the last century novel.
The remake of Planet of the Apes was up there too, as was the Time Machine.
Tops though was the insipid US remake of Godzilla and the Wicker Man.
The rest I've sucessfully blotted from memory. ugh!
"The Perfect Murder" is a poor remake of "Dial 'M' for Murder". I might think of others later.
