I started thinking about this, but I haven't seen enough of the movies to know. When did movies start really sucking? I mean, this current trend of refilming old movies, or making TV shows into movies. Adams Family (1991)? Not the Brady Bunch movie, because there was at least an original concept in that one (transporting them to the -- at the time -- present). Definitely by 1998 (a frame-by-frame remake of Psycho) or 1999 (Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace). 1995 (Mission Impossible)?

I mean, don't get me wrong, there have always been sucky movies. Ishtar anyone? But when did the trend of primarily really sucky movies start? What is the earliest example you can think of, from this recent crop of no-idea-under-the-sun-is-sacred trend?
