But it should be pointed out that Hollywood has always drunk from the remake trough. Heck it used to be not unheard of for directors to remake their own movies after a period of time.

I don't really have a problem with remakes and try to judge them on their own terms (and shoot me but I prefer the Harrison Ford version of Sabrina over the Audrey Hepburn version, which was one of the few Billy Wilder misfires in my opinion).

The famous version of The Maltese Falcon was the third time that story was put to film. I don't understand why a filmmaker would be willing to take on the heightened expectations of remaking a classic but the original Yours, Mine and Ours is hardly in that category (though a good enough movie).
