Ugh, the 1994 LITTLE WOMEN is awful even if Wynona Ryder makes for a great Jo. Until the musical arrived, this was the worst adaptation of the charming novel, IMO.

I liked the Garland version of "A Star is Born" as opposed to the original. I also agree about "Imitation of Life"- I liked the Lana Turner version better. The original "Psycho" was the best version- that's a movie that shouldn't have been touched. Also, I'm not sure if it was a made for TV movie, but Lynn and Vanessa Redgrave starred in a remake of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" It was terrible!!!!!

The Mummy, which took a tedious story about a zombie in bandages, and turned it into the greatest adventure film ever made

Your selections for film superlatives are truly baffling.

You can argue over the artistic merits, but the movies of the musicals of HAIRSPRAY and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, were certainly more commercially successful than the low-budget cult films on which they were based.

Why? Because I don't share the exact same taste in films as you?! What a strange comment! Did you see The Mummy? You didn't find it an engaging adventure film? Why not?
