I just can't see it.

I see they are remaking Carrie, as it happens for the second time. Which leads to this question: Why? Why do they keep remaking good and great movies. I am not even a Stephen King fan and consider Carrie to be an excellent Gothic horror. Why remake it?  You won't find a Carrie as frightening and powerful as Sissy Spacek. You'll never cast a mother as hateful and annoyingly fanatic as as Piper Laurie. So, there's just no way this new Carrie will out-horror the original. Why doesn't Hollywood remake movies in which the original stank, like Camelot or Finian's Rainbow Ivanhoe  or Forever Amber? No.  Instead they remake classic superior-quality films like Raisin in the Sun, The Manchurian Candidate, and Psycho. All fabulous originals, and lousy remakes. The arrogance of these directors who feel they can improve on perfection. Yes, they may have some success at the box office because most people know very little about film history. But they are ultimately a waste of time and money. And what makes them even more detestable is that these crappy remakes are what will be shown on regular tv while the superb originals are kept hidden from viewers as if they never existed.
