Actually...Several movies HAVE been remade many times...The Blob, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, War of the Worlds, and quite a few others...So, I own multiple versions of some movies...I'm not complaining :)
I have no problem with remakes...Sure, most can't touch the originals...Is it because they're BAD, or just that the originals are so GOOD? Personally, I think The Blob just keeps getting better and better, while I don't believe anyone can outdo the 1978 version of Body Snachers (with Donald Sutherland and Jeff Goldblum), which happens to be a REMAKE.
It's simply a matter of opinion based on personal preference. I do believe that each movie (even a remake) should be judged on its own merits.
Would we prefer if they just gave these remakes a different name, and we referred to them as 'rip-offs' instead (IE: Friday The Thirteenth and Bloody Murder)?
Remakes don't replace originals...We simply have MORE of something that's related to what we like...I am thankful for that...I would rather have a few sequels or remakes to my favorite movies, than to just see them end completely...I also like adding to my collection.
So, while I would appreciate some originality (who wouldn't?), and I have found a bit in some independent gems, I really don't mind watching a few remakes of the 'good ones' in the interim :)
