Best and Worst Movie remake ever???
 

My recent unfortunate viewing of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, has got me trying to think of a remake of a classic film that is better than the original.

The 3 most recent one's I have seen (charlie, the manchurian candidate, and the stepford wives) were horrible movies even if you didn't even know that previous better versions existed.

Are there any movies that are actually better than the original?

what are you talking about?

The Manchurian Candidate was awesome.

Racist.

I will not be viewing the new bad news bears movie in anticipation of it's suckage. There is no way I'm going to let that movie spoil any memories of the original...

I can't imagine in a year how [censored] pissed I would be if someone said to me on the street corner "Hey, how 'bout that Buttermaker" and someone named "Billy-Bob" pop'd into my brain instead of Walter.

Best: Ocean's 11
Worst: Planet of the apes, with many close 2nds.

I haven't seen the remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but I enjoyed the Manchurian Candidate. Perhaps not as good as the original, but still an enjoyable movie. I really thought the remake of Ocean's 11 was better than the original. The Dawn of the Dead remake is another one that worked for me.

It can't be worse just because it was the same scenes?
