The more I think about it, I wish there was a way Hollywood could put a lock on certain films, eliminating any chance of a remake at all. Some films just never should be remade in my opinion, ie. Casablanca, To Kill A Mockingbird, Seven Samurai, Jaws, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Excorcist, North By Northwest, It's A Wonderful Life, Raiders of the Lost Ark, etc..
Now, borrowing from those films and creating something new is one thing, but an out and out remake/reboot just seems wrong, especially when there's absolutely nothing wrong with them at all, and little to nothing about them could be improved. If they want to remake/reboot Raiders so bad, why not just borrow elements of the film and create something in the vein of Lara Croft or National Treasure.
