1. Ben-Hur
In 1959, one of the greatest movies ever made debuted on the silver screen, that movie was Ben-Hur. At the end of its run, it accumulated over 145 million dollars (which is equivalent to 1.2 billion in today’s currency) and went on to win a record eleven Academy awards including best picture. This August will see a remake of this iconic movie hit theaters; and based on what was shown in the trailer, there is no way this Ben-Hur will come anywhere close to matching the financial success of the original; and it definitely will not be winning any Oscars. Hollywood has made it a bad habit of remaking old iconic movies for modern audiences in hopes of cashing in on their success a second time, but they almost always fail because the remakes almost never live up to the quality and performance of the original; andBen-Hur will likely be an addition to that list of failures.
