At first sight, you may be correct, but I think the problem is more complex, there maybe TWO kinds of remakes.
The first one is the one you described, the second one is the remake from the director himself, who always re-made the same picture, again and again, searching the perfection that always elude one...One day I shant paint my masterpiece....
To oppose to the studios " money remakes " ) or the golden cows....
Follow Ups:
Really, what can ANY other director, offer to ANY film, that's already been taken to the heart of it's fans, even many generations later ?Not alot, other than some quicky vehicle, for A Deal to be consumated, for someone's benefit, OTHER than the film viewer.
For example, I can see how, bringing "Solaris" to a new generation of film goers would be a great opportunity to share a classic...but all it did, was bring George Clooney's nude behind, to their attention
...somehow that's ironic and poetic, to me, and so it seems to Clooney himself !
