Best, Worst, and most hated remakes.

Throw Psycho (1998) in for one of the least necessary.

The Fly (1986) and The Thing (1982) stand head and shoulders above the originals, not to mention Little Shop of Horrors.

Best Remake:
The Magnificent Seven (2016)
I actually like the remake better than 1960 original.

So many remakes are bad I'm having a hard time picking the worst.

Actually, Worst Remake:
Point Break (2015)
What a crap fest that was.

I haven't seen the original, but Vanilla Sky was one of my favorite movies. I assume the original doesn't have the wacky soundtrack, which was part of what made the movie for me.

I second Clash of the Titans (2010)

The original was one of my favorite films ever.

Best Remakes: John Carpenter's The Thing, True Grit, The Fly, Scarface, The Mummy 1999, Ocean's 11

Worst: The Fog 2005, Ben Hur, The Wicker man, Red Dawn, OldBoy 2013

Worst: Rear Window ( 1998 ) BAD as a remake, bad as a film on its own

Best: 12 Angry Men ( 1997 ) Pretty good as a remake, would be a good film on its own ( assuming it wasn't a remake )

I liked the remake of 3:10 to Yuma.
