Haven't seen the trailer for the new Nightmare On Elm Street yet but have to admit I'm suspect.

And so you should be. As far as I can remember at the moment, the only remakes I've ever seen which I prefer to their originals are the Thing, Ocean's 11 and Escape From Precinct 13. I'll end up seeing both Nightmare and Predators for sure, but I won't expect to be blown away or anything.

Well, to be fair Predators isn't a remake, it's sequel. It's only a reboot in the sense that they breaking off from the whole Aliens vs. Predator thing.

You are definitely right about remakes as a rule though. I agree that The Thing is an exception. As is, in my opinion, The Fly.
