Don't worry, no one is remaking The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. I was reading the Halloween thread, and I didnt want to derail it with this question...

Which remakes were good, which were bad, and which were worse than bad...or ugly?

I liked the Halloween remake. Good

The remake of My Bloody Valentine's only redeeming factor was that it was in 3D and the fully nude hottie. The rest of it sucked. Bad

The remake of The Day the World Stood Still blew. Ugly

I'm sure I'll come up with more, but let's here some of your good, bad, and ugly.

I actually liked the Amityville Horror remake. Not sure why.

The Brady Bunch movie was f-ing hilarious. It was soooooooooo dark.

The Mummy was fun.

^^^

I liked Amityville Horror as well. I've seen the Brady Bunch, and I did laugh my @$$ off.

I didn't realize The Mummy was a remake.

Well, in a way it was. There was one of the original Universal horror movies called the Mummy. Completely different take on it though.

Here's one that is destined to bomb IMO...

It's official! Chace Crawford will star in the "Footloose" remake, Paramount Pictures confirms to Usmagazine.com exclusively.

"Chace Crawford will play the lead role of Ren McCormack in the film 'Footloose'," Paramount told Us Tuesday.

The remake of King Kong was nothing short of awesome!

I liked the remakes of "The Italian Job," "Sleuth" and "The Thomas Crowne Affair" pretty well.

3:10 to Yuma might be my favorite remake ever.

Duh ... how could I have missed that one?

Assault on Precinct 13 was so-so, but I never saw the original.

I liked The Hills Have Eyes but I never saw the original.
