A lot of those original movies were made during a time when cursing and violence was a huge no-no. So therefore the stories weren't as realistic. So I can understand remaking a much older film and adding all those things so there can be realism. But by the time the late 60's rolled around, Hollywood really loosened up and you could curse, have violence, nudity, the whole bit in movies.
Unless you are adding onto the story or you are taking a bad movie and turning it into something good, there's really no reason to be remaking all these current remakes. And a lot of the remakes today are remakes of really good movies, and there's NOTHING wrong with the originals. A lot of remakes today are just carbon copies of the original only with new actors. Nothing new is being added.
