Yes, they do. For several reasons. I think they've pretty much been covered here already, by many of the members:
The younger audience, for the most part, do not appreciate the classics, nor even bother to watch them, once a remake has been created. Mostly for the reason of "it's old" or "stupid".
Another gripe, is that I personally feel that when someone does a remake, they are using someone elses idea, because they could not come up with their own. Not only that, it is marketing greed.
And why keep feeding us the same movies, every ten years? I don't eat leftovers that are ten years old, because it has a prettier arrangement on my plate. Why would I wish to pay/watch a rearrangement of a movie? I want to see something NEW.
