The problem isn't in remaking movies, it's the crud that Hollywood passes as movies these days.
Hostel, FFS, it's a 2 hour long Rammstein video.
Final Destination 3, When they gonna get there?
Date Movie. (no comment needed)
King Kong, people have died on consumption waiting on the special effects to start.
It's all reworked tired old crud, so they might as well save money on storywriters and just remake stuff. It's not always a bad move, 'The Fly' remake was great, and Dawn of the Dead remake was actually far better than Land of the Dead with it's new stupid storyline full of characters that nobody cares about. Go zombies, die human scum!.
At times of great originality droughts, we have to look back at older movies and Hollywood thinks that we want to see that, but new like, and with shiny computer generated cheese, because we're all dumb and if we don't like something we should just give it less thought.
Addendum: I'd have them remake Lost season 2, only I'd make them stick to 1 episode per week! - they keep having 2-week breaks and it's destroying my life. They're like drug pushers, at first there's lots of Lost, more Lost than you'd ever need, then when your hooked they start rationing your dosage to keep you under control.

Put away, those fiery biscuits!
