1. The Man Who Knew Too Much by Hitchcock |
|
He remade his earlier film; I rate it a little better than the original.

3. Technically - "The Wizard of OZ" was a remake |
|
There were a number of improvements over the silent version.

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.

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!!

8. The Maltese Falcon (1941) |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-04-08 08:41 PM by Winebrat
It had been made in 1931 and again in 1936 as "Satan Met a Lady."
John Huston got it right.

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

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

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

13. LOTR- Just watch the live-action/animated version from the late '70's |
|
Peter Jackson certainly did and copied many ideas.
