Reflecting on the proposed Princess Bride remake, & thinking about how much luck is involved in making great movies. Blade Runner is a great movie without the "Tears in Rain" monologue, but much less so. And that was re-written by Rutger Hauer at the last minute. Talk about luck!

Great point. All great creativity will have sheer luck which pushes it up to a higher level. Remake will not reproduce that spark, and will regress toward the mean. Remember “Psycho” remake? Oldboy? Give me one quarter and 3

I made the mistake of watching the "Point Break" remake last year. Oops.
