Remakes are bad for your brain's health! Most of them are an offence to the original! I don't think for foreign movies it's a subtitles' problem. It's true people don't like to read them, but you can get a dubbed version of almost any DVD nowadays. For example my friends say they don't like asian movies because all actors look alike and they can't recognize faces and they get bored because they are unable to feel interested. Hollywood knows that, buys the copyrights and cuts a lot of pre-production expenses, making a new movie with famous stars that will get people's attention. People don't even know the original exists in many cases, and if they know, they can't be bothered to watch it. Same for old movies. If the movie is too old and for example is black&white, people find it annoying or weird and don't like watching. If you film it again with new effects, colors and actors people can recognize, they enjoy it. Too bad movies are not all about flashy colors and actors appearing in gossip magazines everyday. But normal people are only interested in big names and massive advertising. They can't tell the difference between good and bad
