Recently, we have seen the remake of the classic movies, Blair Witch, Ghostbusters, Magnificent Seven, Tarzan and Ben Hur. Some were successful and others a complete disaster. We are not talking sequels, but total remakes of these movies. We know it's easier to just remake a movie with an existing script and built-in audience, but is this a smart move?
Money is not the only measuring stick – what about cinematic quality of these remakes of classic films? Should classic movies ever be remade?
