Remakes on the whole are terrible things. Ocean's 11, as much as I hate George Clooney, is one of the few exceptions.
As far as foreign films being remade, sometimes this is a good thing. People aren't going to go see a foreign film but they are more likely to want to watch the remake and realize there is an original. Do you think would have wanted to see Ringu if The Ring hadn't been made? I've been trying to find time to watch Abre Los Ojos after seeing Vanilla Sky. So, sometimes this can be a good thing and sometimes you don't want to mess with perfection.
