23 Classic Films That Were Ruined by Unnecessary Remakes (Loved by Curls)

"Some movies are so well-loved and iconic that movie studios can't help but make new versions for modern audiences. Unfortunately, they aren't always worth the effort. Someone asked, "What is the most unnecessary remake ever made?" We compiled the 23 best replies." - lovedbycurls.com
List Creator's note: I wish someone had mentioned "The Pink Panther" <--not an exact remake (from the 1963 original to the 2006 Steve Martin fiasco), but the idea of thinking one can imitate the unique comedic genius of Peter Sellers from those original films is sadly disillusioned. The fact it was a respected, intelligent comedian like Steve Martin that did it is disappointing, regardless of the obvious money grab opportunity. Shame on you, Mr. Martin! Leave genius alone!
