Question Re-makes of films!!!!! Why bother?

I like a good film, and some films are that good they get re-made! :)
Only thing is they tend to be not as good the 2nd time around, or am I wrong?
The Italian job,Get carter etc, were rubbish the second time around,and I recon that your best off leaving them as they are! Do you know a good re-make of a film or tv show?
So will War of the Worlds be any good?
I think the film makers are just playing safe and that new films would be better! ;)

I watched Amityville Horror the other night, it's good but not much different than the original.
Just ordered Mr and Mrs Smith, anyone seen it yet, if so is it good?

For me the most pointless one was the Psycho remake in colour, and I usually like Gus van Saint films.

Remakes are just trying to cash in on the original's success.

Mr And Mrs Smith is a comedy starring Brad Pitt and Angellina Jolie.
A bored married couple is surprised to learn that they are assassins hired to kill each other.
The trailer looks really good wayne.
