Remakes

I have a hard time believing they are remaking any of the following films.

• The Birds - How can you presume to remake a Hitchcock classic and have it be better than the original? Yes, we can make "better" special effects now, but, other than that, nothing else will likely be as good.
• Conan the Barbarian - A lot of people laugh at the original, but forget that it was co-written by an Oscar winner (Oliver Stone) and directed by an Oscar-nominated director (John Milius). It actually tells a good story.
  
• Death Race 2000 (as Deathrace 3000) - The original is a cult classic, with weird performances from David Carradine and Sylvester Stallone. How can you possibly top this B- (or C- or D-) movie classic?
• Enter the Dragon - One of the seminal 70s martial arts flicks and with the Man, Bruce Lee, in the pivotal role.
  
• The Entity - An incredible ghost story, much more believable than other similar tales told around the same time (Amityville, et al). Barbara Hershey was incredible as the beleaguered mom.
  
• Escape from New York - Another cult classic. Kurt Russell is still around and still kicking ass in movies; this is his character and his alone (in most Sci-Fi fan's perspective).
• The Fly - Haven't we seen this movie enough already? I'm not saying a remake will be bad, but just unnecessary.
• Incredible Shrinking Man - directed by Keenen Ivory Wayans. Enough said.
  
• Logan’s Run - Another cult classic. I wonder if they can remake this in a way that has the same innocence as the original.
  
• Revenge of the Nerds - We live in 2007; the nerds have won in reality-- why do we need another movie about their revenge?
  
• The Secret Life of Walter Mitty - Mike Myers is no Danny Kaye. Enough said.
  
• The Stepfather - Terry O'Quinn was so eerily scary in this role, I have a hard time believing anyone could be as convincing.
• Sunset Boulevard - Remaking a Billy Wilder classic and Gloria Swanson starring role, for what? Glenn Close is rumored to take over the Norma Desmond role, which might be okay (she did have an award winning turn in the role on Broadway).
  
• Westworld - One of Yul Brynner's great roles. One of the few Michael Crichton movies to be directed by the author. I have a hard time believing that they can do better, even with updated effects.

Special note goes out to I Am Legend, the first movie to use the title of the book from which it comes. However, in the three trailers for it I have seen, it departs as radically as Omega Man and Last Man on Earth did, leaving pretty much only the one survivor and hordes of "vampires" part of the story in tact.
I hope I'm wrong, but things aren't looking good.

Edit: There are more remakes coming, like the 3:10 to Yuma flick about to be released. This is just a list of remake movies I am questioning or find odd choices.
