Look at things like the Ghostbusters remake or the Ben-Hur remake
I will continue to defend it. I enjoyed it, I laughed, so that made it worthwhile in my book.
Like the Junglebook remake, though, how many people really substantively remember it, other than the obvious fact that it came out recently. Even if you liked it, does your mind honestly go to that film when you hear the title Ghostbusters? Although to be fair they seem to have retitled the remake Ghostbusters: Answer the Call to distinguish it from the original on home video, but still.
