From the top of my head recent reamkes include, King Kong (for the second time) Superman, Spiderman, War of the Worlds, Death Race, assualt on precint 13, Alfie, Dawn of the dead, The katate Kid, Hairspray, gone in 60 seconds, The hills have eyes, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Italian Job, Oceans Eleven. The Time machine, Parent Trap, Thirteen Ghosts, Independence Day (put that in because it's basically War of the Worlds) Star Trek, (more of a rebbot though)

Then you've got remakes of foreign films to suit an American auidence. The ring, the grudge, Godzilla, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and the rumoured Battle Royale.

Now heres some In production and/or Rumoured.
Total Recall, Dredd, Evil Dead, Highlander, Drop Dead Fred, escape from New York, Robocop, Mortal Kombat, All Quiet on the Western front, Red Dawn, death Wish, Lethal Weapon, Short circuit, wargames, Romancing the Stone, The Birds, The Warriors and Dirty Dancing.

So quite a long list. I'm sure theres more. I'm not saying all remakes are bad. Some are quite good but most are shite. I just want Hollywood to come up with new stories and new "classics" and stop trying to make a quick buck on old classics.

All Quiet on the Western front could be good I hope they stick close to the orginal book and this time it should be R rated.  The Red Dawn remake is finished they just need to find a distributor.  You pretty much named all the remakes that are in the works except for Oldboy which could be pretty good since Josh Brolin will play the lead role.
