I'd be interested in hearing what remakes are better than the original. Only one I can think of is Scarface but I'm sure there will be more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any others off the top of my head right now. in no particular order (and some controversial choices I concede): Heat; The Departed; Let The Right One In; Assault on Precinct 13; True Grit; The Fly; The Thomas Crown Affair; The Force Awakens ; 12 Monkeys; Oceans 11; The Italian Job; Taking of Pelham 123.....there are more.... With say something like Assault on Precinct 13, I love John Carpenter but with a lot of films of that period, I find the pacing terrible. Whereas the remake may not be as fresh or as interesting, the more tighter pacing really makes it a better movie for me. If they had just used Carpenter's score in the remake it would have been a lot better. Of course to even class Carpenter's Assault as an original, I am glossing over the Rio Bravo/Rio Lobo/E Dorado debate. Is Assault a homage, has been influenced or is in fact remake of the Hawks westerns? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
