Any remake that makes you want to rent/buy the original better version...
Heh, anyone heard about the remake of Footloose with Zac Efron? I cringe in horror already...
Short List:
Battle Beyond the Stars ( famous for it's pregnant Enterprise look-a-like ship)
The Invasion
Skinwalkers
Star Wars Episode I ( we have Jar-Jar to thank for this.. )
CRASH ( the worse movie EVER to win the Best Picture Oscar )

That is about the funniest image I ever had about hated movies... 
Snakes On A Plane. The BEST part is Samuel L. Jackson's line AT THE END--"I am tired of all these MoFo Snakes on this MoFo plane". The rest totally sucked...
Aeon Flux. Unless I was a dude/lesbian that loved Charlize Theron, I did not think anything was sexy about that film... Whassup with the character who has hands for feet and why does she have to be like a monkey?
SW:PM. Yeah it 'cuz of his poor actor direction that made the movie poorly received versus the original SW:NH. But one has to be a fan of the entire SW genre or sci fi in general.
Now, how come my dad got the good bootleg versions of 300 and Transformers?

I was wondering if someone was going to post this movie. VERY disturbing.

The Fog (2005)- I liked the '79 version. The recent version is horrible, including the ending.
Problem Child 3- I like the first 2 Problem Child movies. But the third one sucks so back.
Home Alone 4- It's almost the same thing as the first one.
National Lampoon's Thanksgiving Vacation- Not funny! If this was made about the same time as the Christmas one, and if it were to have Chevy Chase in the Thanksgiving one, I beileve it would turn out a'okay. Also, in the movie, I don't understand about the short wearing stuff during Thanksgiving in Idaho. I believe it's too cold to be wearing shorts for Thanksgiving time in Idaho. I know it's fictional, but still...

Are you talking about the recent one with Nicole Kidman or the '75 version. I'm assuming you're talking about the Kidman version. I have never seen the 1975 version.

lord of the rings
what is the point of filming the book? you are supposed to adapt it to fit the new medium, it is not the directors job to film the book, that is an absurd notion.
Still, if you inisit on following the story exactly and film the book (i.e. make a boring film) then follow through with it, don't hollywoodize the ending to make it all happy and 45 minutes longer than it needs to be.
