The only problem with that is that the guy that remade Psycho might qualify as someone that loves and respects the original.

Hmm. Yes. Perhaps I should also add that the person who remakes a film shouldn't just love/respect it, but also have something significantly new to bring to the table; if you're just going to regurgitate a movie without putting a fresh spin on it, then what's the point?

 Like "The Wicker Man" remake? Had some very interesting points to make about male/female dichotomy, and a bold vision of bees/matriarchal society imagery to layer on the original film. Must have been a perfect remake.
