I recently read something to the effect of, "Why do they remake the good movies? Shouldn't they re-make the lousy ones and fix whatever was wrong with them?"

Makes a lot of sense.

From an early (1933) Technicolor film, 'The Mystery of the Wax Museum.'

True. Most remakes do not compare well with the originals. Occasionally there are exceptions. Ben Hur and The 10 Commandments are two of them. Granted the originals were from the silent era. That said I have seen the silent version of Ben Hur and it holds its own with the Heston version and I highly recommend seeking it out.
