They're going to remake everything before the end and it's not a good thing. My thoughts: thumbs down.

.and when they've remade every 1980s film, they start remaking 1990s films. I believe this process has already begun (Jumanji, anyone?)

Honestly it's pathetic. It only shows how the currently suits in Hollywood have no originality or talent. Cashing in on past glories was fine if it's once in a while. Not a regular business.

I'm sick to death of it, almost all of the newer remakes/reboots/sequels are crap, with maybe a few notable exceptions. From what I've read, there
are
more original ideas & scripts floating around Hollywood, but the studios are so risk averse that they're ignored in favor of the "safe" choice, which is currently capitalizing on Gen X nostalgia. While I'm all for studios releasing catalog titles on blu-ray, trying to recapture that spontaneous, creative movie magic of the past just doesn't work.

I can't recall all the remakes but I haven't watched a single one of them and don't plan on watching them. The only ones I can think of are:
21 Jump Street
Red Dawn
Miami Vice
Ghostbusters
The Equalizer

I did not realize there was a series. I'll avoid it.

Yeah, I can't stand it. I have not watched a single remake nor commented on the remake's message board to my knowledge, I may have look at my post history.

I've never seen any. Until they remake "The Breakfast Club" I probably will never notice. I remember correctly the box office wasn't such a fun place to hang out at in the 1980's I don't recall it being that popular. I believe the 1990's had to revise the box office.
I do remember movies on cable being very popular on TV back then. Movies they never play now at all. You could always count on seeing one no matter where you were at or any time of the day. They would just suck you in. They no longer play them and probably never will ever again. But it was fun watching them back then.

All successful shows/films must be remade with a black cast.
