This is why they shouldn't do remakes of classic flicks

[TidWell]

Cringeworthy 2017's Dirty Dancing remake on ABC, you might not be able to watch more than a few seconds its hard to watch, this poor sap doesn't even have an ounce of Patrick swayze swagger and they put a fat chick who cant even hold a candle to Jennifer grey


The Original (no homo) Swayze was a handsome mofo


Guys post some flicks that were remade and disappointed as well.

It is a remake.

How about the Gus Van Zant Psycho? Worst idea ever.

It is a remake.

oh shit thought The Thing was original to the 80s, the original must have sucked, im talking about originals that hold up and are good dont remake them especially if they are going to suck ass and just a money grab.

They’ve been remaking Shakespeare the last 500 years

Nah, original is considered a classic of it's time.

The RoboCop and Total Recall remakes were both garbage.

What other chick-flick remakes broke your heart?

Barely made through a minute.
Remake is shite.

Swayze was special. Gone too soon.
"Road House" cool!!!

Speaking of Swayze, i didn't even bother watching the Point Break remake, and my panties were severely bunched when there was a plan a few years ago to have Honda star in a Roadhouse remake.

I hated the original so there's no chance i'll like that remake mess.

..or the likes of Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, Sorcerer and The Fly.

I think the sentiment of the OP actually ends up being a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy, if remakes are viewed as low end they tend to end up that way.

It doesn't help as well that the rights to pretty much everything are valued these days and remakes get sanctioned mostly by money men.

They didnt remake this. 2011 was a prequel

Edit: forgot this remake 1980 is superior to the 50s version

They're still free to make pron parodies.

Are you gonna pretend you've watched the 50s version?

True. Never saw it. Just old. I should watch it

It was a "premake" as in that it is technically a prequel but follows the same beats.
