Flight of the Phoenix? Can't they leave the classics alone?

Flight of the Phoenix
Psycho
The Manchurian Candidate

Come on. Just let the old movies be. 🙁

Nearly all works of art be it music, books or movies are remakes of something or another. Hell the fundamental 'meat' of many movies today can probably be traced back to some underlying plot in ancient stories.

Why? Especially when they end up being great remakes. I loved the new Manchurian Candidate.

Some remakes are vastly superior to the original. See Ocean's Eleven.

But some classics should be just left alone. There is enough good scripts to go around.
