Don't think there is one actually that I would consider outstanding.

The Thing

The Fly?

Possibly Heaven Can Wait which is a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan. However, the remake may not be as good as the original.

A Little Princess.

andyman1970 · 02-03-2009, 02:46 PM

John Carpenter's The Thing.

No other remake is even in the same league.

assydingo · 02-03-2009, 02:54 PM

I should buy The Thing next I'm shopping.

bruce_pullen · 02-03-2009, 03:36 PM

The Fly, great suggestion.

None really? What about off this list? None at all?

I couldn't figure one out either, but nonetheless I voted for "The Man Who Knew Too Much"

I can't believe people think the 05' remake of King Kong is better than the 76' remake though

I heard he fights a giant snake in the original. Hard to top that.

caliminius · 02-03-2009, 03:58 PM

I don't really have any idea what Airplane! was a remake of it, but it got my vote (because it spoofed Airport, I'm guessing...think that was the movie). I have absolutely no clue what Titanic is a remake of, but if I could have justified it being called a remake, it would have gotten the vote. Either way, they're two of the best movies in that list.

And I'm still not sure what many of those movies are doing in the list.

GORT · 02-03-2009, 11:43 PM

I vote The Thing with King Kong (2005) second for me.

McKellars · 02-04-2009, 04:26 PM

I went with The Dark Knight. I could have went with The Lord of the Rings, but I actually like the '78 animated movie along with The Hobbit, and The Return of the King cartoon.
