Persuasion (2007) in my opinion was superior to the 1995 version.

I'll add The Blob (1988) and Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

The Hills Have Eyes (2006) was a great remake!

reply

House of Wax (2005) was also quite good for a remake with Paris Hilton in it.

The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Ben Hur (1959)
The Magnificent Seven (1960)
Scarface (1983)
The Departed (2006)

The Wizard of Oz (1939) is a remake of a 1925 movie with the same name.

Nope, haven't seen the 1925 one. I read about it somewhere on the Internet.

Hello mark,
I'd like to add this one which I like very much (despite the tragic end!) -
The Champ (1979, feat. Ricky Schroder), remake of the original 1931 version feat. Jackie Cooper.
Have you seen Jungle2Jungle (feat. Sam Huntington)? This is the remake of the french classic Un indien dans la ville (1997, aka Little Indian, Big City) which has an A+ performance of Ludwig Briand... at least IMHO... What's your opinion - does the remake have the same "class" like the original? Or would you say the remake is rather forgettable?
Kind regards

Also, let's face it, The Thing From Another World (1951) is a pretty downright terrible movie. I guess it's because I don't come from that era though.

I never did mind about the little things.

I love that movie.
