this is not a hard and fast rule, but it's how I generally feel about remakes--there are exceptions, in other words--
If a movie is good in the first place, don't remake it. If you do, it's generally not for any good reason ( hey! let's make it in color, add cell phones to it so younger audiences will watch it, update the effects, etc.). King Kong, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Cape Fear, Psycho, and other good movies fall into this category. Remakes were unnecessary I feel.
If a movie is bad to start out with (GAMMERA THE INVINCIBLE), then hells yes, remake it, and do a good job at it. Make it everything the original film wasn't.
