My answer:
Gone with the Wind
I know there are more; however I'm just not thinking of them at the moment.
They are rebooting The Matrix?
I didn't want to see GITS made starring Scar Jo. I am hearing it sucks. As expected :/
Any Hitchcock movie. No remake would ever be as good, so why even bother.
However, spinoffs like Bates Motel are fine with me, I don't consider that a remake.
I NEVER want remakes. They are usually a big dud and waste of time.
shareThey are remaking Hitchcock's The Birds, director will be Michael Bay. I'm not sure how I feel about this. Bay will probably throw robots into the story.

Tom Bombadil was awesome. They should make a stand alone just about him.
Then one about the Blue Wizards and their adventures.
But yeah, they didn't need 3 movies to cover a relatively simple story.
Any James Bond movie, look how bad Never Say Never Again was, (it was a Thunderball remake.)
shareI hope and pray they leave the grapes of wrath alone. It was a period piece with raw material and true emotion that you can't recapture.
shareI hope so too but don't be too sure, Of Mice and Men has been done four times, two theatrical films, 1939 and 1992 and two tv films, 1968 and 1981. They should make a movie out of Travels With Charley.
shareThat seems like a record. I guess of we got zombie pride and prejudice it's only a matter of time.
shareThey could remake every movie ever made. Who cares?
If you don't like the idea of a remake, don't watch it. Simple. Why let it bother you?
It doesn't change the original in any way, and if anything will reboot interest in the originals by a young generation that may have never seen the original if not for hearing about the remake first.
Younger generations don't really need remakes to hear about classics. Remakes are usually quickly forgotten even if they're financially successful while the originals are always remembered.
No they don't Need remakes to hear about classics, but it helps.
I never watched the 21 jump Street movies, because I thought the trailers looked dumb, but it reminded me of how much I liked the original TV series and I went on a binge. Then 22 jump Street releases and I went on another binge. Even good old classics get forgotten about sometimes.
