**Remakes that never should have been made** 1. Arthur 2. The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) There were two remakes, incredibly, a made for TV one which I haven’t seen and one with an over the top performance by John Travolta. Less is More, John, Less is More. ---

**Remakes that never should have been made** 1. Arthur 2. The Taking of Pelham 123 (2009) 3. The Ladykillers 4. Psycho 5. Total Recall (2012) The original with Ahnold hit on the right formula. The remake was inferior in every way except perhaps in terms of special effects (which were perfectly adequate in the original). ---
