1. The Man Who Knew Too Much by Hitchcock

He remade his earlier film; I rate it a little better than the original.

2. Seabiscuit

Recent remake waaay better than the first one with starred Shirley Temple.

[ThoughtCriminal]

3. Technically - "The Wizard of OZ" was a remake

There were a number of improvements over the silent version.

[Lautremont]

4. Casablanca is a remake, and a pretty good one.

I think The Fly, from 1986, is an excellent example of a remake, because it takes the concept in a new direction and does so very well.

15. And along the lines of 'The Fly' - 'The Thing' from 1982

both benefit from the advances in special effects.

What's Casablanca a remake of? The famous one was pretty up-to-the-minute in its plot.

5. Number 1

The Peter Jackson LotR movies - remake of the Rankin-Bass Animated movies.

6. An Affair to Remember

Remake of Love Affair into a cheesetastic Cary Grant/Deborah Kerr-fest. Just forget the noble remake back into Love Affair. Pah. Keep the cheese!!

[Ahpook]

7. The 70's remake of

Invasion of the Body Snatchers was a fine film.

That ending .... phew:)

8. The Maltese Falcon (1941)

It had been made in 1931 and again in 1936 as "Satan Met a Lady."

John Huston got it right.

10. Heaven Can Wait

w/ Warren Beatty and Julie Christie (and the hilarious Charles Grodin). It's a remake of "Here Comes Mr. Jordan" from the 40's.

also Ocean's Eleven

14. Like hell it is...!

I detest that Warren Beatty ego-trip mangling of a great early Hollywood "dramedy." :spank:

[WinkyDink]

11. Tyrone Power's "Zorro". Sinise/Malkovich's "Of Mice and Men".

[YankeyMCC]

12. Batman Begins

Not sure if that's exactly a remake but it certainly 'revived' the Batman movie franchise.

[JCMach1]

13. LOTR- Just watch the live-action/animated version from the late '70's

Peter Jackson certainly did and copied many ideas.
