So, I like five of these. I haven't seen The Keep since I ordered it on pay-per-view back in 1984 (believe it was still called "Qube" - the service, not the movie.) Needless to say, I have not liked one of his film since 1999. (Sorry, not even Collateral which I feel loses itself midway through.) And Blackhat is a new low.

So this is just about the most depressing list I've ever made.

But let me clarify. 1975 was the year of my birth. So I start with original films made from that year forward. (i.e. no remakes of films made in the 50s, 60s, etc...) This list also consists solely of American remakes of American films. In other words - no The Departed, no The Ring, etc...

Haven't seen 2015's Point Break or 2014's Annie. I nothing about the 2008 April Fool's Day remake. Also haven't seen:

Gloria, Going in Style, Love Don't Cost a Thing, The Town That Dreaded Sundown, What Men Want, Dumbo

If I'm missing something that fits, let me know and I shall amends. (Also The Thing was a prequel, not a remake.)
