Poll: Worst American Remake of a Non-English Movie
Making an American remake of a great foreign language film into an English spoken version usually is a good idea. After all, sharing a great story with as wide an audience as possible makes a lot of sense. However, despite having bigger stars, larger budgets and the full resources of Hollywood behind them, it is often not enough. These adaptations, more often than not, pale in comparison to the masterwork and magic of the original telling.
Which of these select American remakes* is by comparison the most unworthy of its foreign non-English language original? * IMDb rated 6.9- (as of June 2019)
