Hollywood remakes

[Andromeda18_]

Is anyone else out there starting to think that hollywood is starting to run out of original idea's. Well look at it seems like if it was a popular TV series or movie from the 60s-80s they are going to remake it. We can keep counting the Japanese films they are tring to remake, and also all the cartoons and comic books Live Action that have been made. Just for arguement also lets include all the sequals and prequals the last few years. So here is alittle game try to think of as many of the most recent original idea sci fi, fantasy movies to come out of Hollywood. books count if not done into film or TV previously

A few that come to mind for me are

The Fifth Element
Solaris
American Werewolf (the first one)
Legend
Willow

That's something that's been annoying me for some time now. Why is it that Hollywood keeps remaking foreign movies? It does indeed seem like they've completely run out of ideas. It also leads me to believe that it's the public's fault. Most likely the American public doesn't watch foreign movies all that much and so when Hollywood sees the potential of such movies as The Ring or Oldboy they think it will be much more profitable to remake them using American actors. Sounds to me like a cultural problem.
