Hmmm... why haven’t these been remade/rebooted? Um, let’s see...

10 Gremlins - mediocre
9 Porky’s - garbage
8 Airplane! - stupid but semi-funny... once
7 Crocodile Dundee - stupid but semi-funny... once
6 Honey I Shrunk the Kids - mediocre
5 The Naked Gun - garbage
4 Police Academy - garbage
3 Major League - stupid but semi-funny... once
2 Revenge of the Nerds - outdated concept. The gags about the nerds being really into electronics make little sense if the whole world are hooked on smartphones.
1 Back to the Future Back - mediocre

You really thought Airplane was "stupid but semi-funny?" Yeesh.

0 Gremlins - mediocre
9 Porky’s - hilarious which is why we can’t have it now.
8 Airplane! - hilarious which is why we can’t have it now.
7 Crocodile Dundee - entertaining....loved the part about him coming to NY and not realizing the “girl” he’s doing well with at a bar is a tranny. I’m sure that’d go over really well in Hollywood now.

6 Honey I Shrunk the Kids - garbage
5 The Naked Gun - hilarious which is why we can’t have it now.
4 Police Academy - funny....if you’re a kid.
3 Major League - semi funny. Watchable at least.
2 Revenge of the Nerds - Pretty funny but of course, a lot of the jokes wouldn’t fly in the current environment.
1 Back to the Future Back - mediocre....at best

I’m just curious, since you find ALL of these listed films mediocre or garbage at best, can you list for us recent films that you consider at least GOOD?
