Remakes you should and shouldn't watch

As promised (a long time ago) I made a list of movie remakes you should and shouldn't watch.
Of course this is just my opinion and if you love any of the movies I dislike, you can still watch them. Don't worry I won't judge (maybe a little).

Read here why movies remakes work.

5 Bad Movie remakes
They could've been so great, but sadly someone ruined it. I don't really know why movies with no interesting storyline are being remade. Who thought 'WOW I need to copy this gem!' while watching Arnold as a dimwitted barbarian?

The day the earth stood still (2008) – The day the earthstood still (1951)

Clash of the Titans (2010) – Clash of the titans (1981)

Conan the barbarian (2011) – Conan the barbarian (1982)

Total Recall (2012) – Total Recall (1990)

Psycho (1998) – Psycho (1960)

5 Good Movie remakes
Yes they exist! Some remakes surpass their original counterparts. For some of these, that wasn't very hard though. I know some of these 'good' movies are debatable. But I like them. I'm going to be honest with you, I didn't actually see all the originals movies. But I did watch all the episodes of The lion, The Witch and the wardrobe from 1988. Mainly because I was so excited for The Chronicles of Narnia as a kid.

Evil Dead (2013) – The Evil Dead (1981)

I am Legend (2007) – The last man on earth (1964)

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and theWardrobe (2005) – The lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (1988)

Ocean’s Eleven (2001) – Ocean’s Eleven (1960)

The Great Gatsby (2013) - The Great Gatsby (1974)
