I find it insulting and annoying that hollywood remakes are taking the credit for original ideas from foreign/classic or horror films.
Please everyone, if you are a film buff, respect the original.
Here is a list of brilliant but Tarnished films and TV shows:

Films:
The Crow (US) - Planned 2010 US Remake only 15 years after the original...boycott it.
[REC](Spain) - Remade as 'Quarantine' in the US.
The Orphanage (Spain) Planned US remake.
Oldboy (Japan) - Planned US remake with Will Smith.??? WTF
Ringu (Japan) - Remade as 'The Ring' in the US (Passable simply because it had it's own artistic interpretation of the material)
The Eye (South Korea)
Ju-On: The Grudge (Japan)
Ju-On: The Grudge 2 (Japan)
Dark Water (Japan)
A tale of Two Sister's (South Korea) Remade as 'The Uninvited' in the US.

The list goes on, and many more are planned please avoid them.

Now TV shows:

Absolutely Fabulous (UK) Tentative Remake in the US
Kath & Kim (Australia) (Remake released in US to universal Panning)
Life on Mars (UK)

Many more uk tv remakes have been announced, make the effort to avoid them.
Stop supporting the lack of originality that some of the hollywood infrastructure are displaying.
 
i detest remakes, but the import of All In The Family is the exception to the rule
 
The worst remakes are the one based off of television shows: Speed Racer, Scooby Doo, Wild Wild West, Speed Racer.
