Exasperated, not angry.
Thousands. But thats just storytelling, there are only seven stories blah blah. True, but unhelpful. There's still a fundamental difference between a remake and a spinoff/sequel.
Remakes no one wanted.

And also, that age old story of a chosen one
Okay. So you seem to be including sequels and spin-offs under remakes. How are you defining 'hommage'?

Cos the last time I watched it I kept thinking of the appalling drivel that were the train crashes of sequels. Quite spoiled the experience for me.

You couldn't be arsed typing the OP. I like your style.
You're right. It could be as good if not better, than the original. I mean it seems kinda unlikely but...

How odd. Star Wars wasn't spoiled for me by the dreadful Return of the Jedi.
Jaws didn't sink after the awful follow ups for me.
Oh well, different life experiences etc.
Nodded to? Lifts ancient tales and themes? That all feels kind of broad....

When does an influence or inspiration become an homage?
Those homages you mention are scenes/elements of other films rather than the whole films themselves

Return of the Jedi is just a not particularly good film. You can't compare it to the fuckpigs that are the matrix sequels. I've never seen the Jaws sequels and have no plans to do so.
Beside, I think you are just being contrary. The Matrix is fucked forever by it's sequels for anyone who has been unfortunate enough to see them. Deny it all you will, there is no spoon.

Return Of The Jedi is the most fun out of the three. Zips along unlike the other two

Not as good at its own sequel: Caravan of Courage , an Ewok Adventure. Obvs.

well it has elliott gould and bernie mac in it, which is pretty good, but gould was a sub for alan arkin, who might have put it over the top.
as it is, not a match for the original yet.

I agree that the first one's the only one worth watching, but they're sequels. Jaws 3D also isn't so great.
Edit: I stand corrected. As you were.

Not just Hollywood. Michael Haneke remade Funny Girls, shot by shot, in English.
He said it was he wanted an American audience to see it and they don't watch foreign language/subtitled films. But, I think the kind of audience who are watching Haneke films are not going to be put off by subtitles. So it's a pointless remake IMO.
Great films though, either version.

Oh. Ok didn't know. I stand corrected. yes, sounds like a very bad idea.
