10 Recent Movie Remakes That You Already Forgot Existed

10. Fame (2009)

The Original: Fame is a film whose title cannot be uttered without some idiot shouting "I'm gonna live forever!" in reference to the infamously irksome song that is probably the only thing that most people remember about it.

But Fame is sort of a naff classic, isn't it? A film that, for many adults now in their forties and working dull office jobs, defined that brief but incredibly important period of their lives when enrolling in a downtrodden New York drama school seemed like the best idea ever. 1980, what a time to be alive!

The Forgotten Remake: "They remade Fame?" you just said to yourself, wondering how you managed to miss such an important milestone in filmic history. Yes, they did, 29 years after the release of the original. Hollywood thought that it was time for High School Musical fans to get their own version, but the result was a mess - one that failed to capture the hardened edge of the original; bad acting, a terrible script, crap editing and annoying "tween" characters ensured a proper dud.

Why would you opt for this version when the original exists? And so Fame 2009 has been cast aside as a pale imitation; a pointless retread destined for bargain bins.
