1976 version of King Kong

Sony's Godzilla movie. Good thing that monster got trashed by the original Godzilla in Final Wars.

The Love Bug remake with Lyndsey Lohan. Ugh.

Word on the street is, we have a new fear coming...

in the form of a Rocky Horror Picture Show Remake. Be afraid. My guess is they figured Tim Curry was too damn sexy for this younger generation of movie go-ers.

Sorry but this film already reeks of epic fail.

I can just see it.
"Dude!  Klaatu Barada Nikto."
Or to paraphrase the original short story: " I Am Klatu, and this is Knut."  BANG! (rifle shot to the head).  "Whoa! dude I've been shot!"

Sydney White and the Seven Dorks

...i dunno why, but there's something about that movie that just irks me.

I'm getting pretty sick of all The Parent Trap remakes out there. It just seems like it's been done to death...

I really don't think you can say it's one of the 'top worst movie remakes' without actually seeing the movie. Sure it looks bad but maybe it will manage to just be kind of bad and not the 'worst movie ever'.

Wait a minute, is this the Land of the Dead starring John lequizamo and Dennis Hopper? When did the original come out?
Anywho, who hates the remake of "Bad News Bears." I hated that movie. Sure the plots the same, but it didn't have any of the elements that made the original great.

I think the point was that Land of the Dead isn't a remake.  It's a sequel and should go to the sequels thread.  There were remakes of Night and Dawn though, but Land was a sequel.

Well, there's a Time Machine, and a main character named George.  After that not much. The first half of the movie isn't all that bad, it kinda falls apart after the time traveler reaches the 800th century.
