Now, there are definitely some works that benefited from a re-visit. The Coen Brothers' True Grit is a goddamned masterpiece that improved on pretty well everything from the original film. It was more faithful to the source material, and no amount of nostalgia for The Duke can defeat the fact that the modern adaptation is superior, IMO.
Robocop? Why? Why did you do that?
Total Recall? Stop it.
