Can someone tell me if there have been any NEW movie plots in the last 10 years. Everything is a “remake”

I even heard they’re remaking the Wizard of Oz

What, no one has ANY new ideas!!

(I have been to the movies only 4 times in the last 15 years, & one of those was because my oldest wanted to take me, my husband & the little one to the final Star Wars movie when it came out, otherwise, I wouldn’t have gone to that one)

Several, but all animated

“How to train your dragon” is the latest.

Ghost in the Shell (ya, I know -1995), Cowboy Bebop (1998),
Steamboy (2004) and THe LAst Exile (2003).

The coolest new is Cat $hit One (2010 release)

I saw an article the other day that something like 30 movies and tv shows from the 80s were in some form of development for movies. Crazy. Nostalgia is in.

The top 10 voted on at IMDb for 2000-2009 is interesting. Three are the Lord of the Rings movies, four are foreign, and one is based on a comic book. Memento and Wall-E are the remaining two and both of them I would say are pretty original.

There are quite a few interesting original movies out there, but rarely do they get the big push from the studios. The market is ever more fractured. Remakes of stuff from a time with a wider audiences seem like good bets to get lots of people in.
