Best and Worst Movie remake ever???

[The once and future king]

Best= The Thing
Worst= Get Carter.

I fully expect to get 100% consensus with these choices.

The original Manchurian candidate is one of my favorite movies of all time.. My dislikingf it had nothing to do with denzel or any of the other actors.. just don't see the need to mess with perfection

Cape Fear (But, the original was very good, if not better).

The original was pretty good. I can't remember the name of the actor in that one, but I do remember he was a good actor of the time. However, you can't deny that with Deniro, this works very well with Taxi Driver. (if you haven't seen taxi driver, see it. You'll know what I'm talking about)

Manchurian Candidate was terrible.

My favorite: The Thing, If you don't scare easy, it doesn't matter, John Carpenter nailed it in this.

The worst: Well we're 2 years away, but I already weep for the remake of the Warriors.

Best Remakes:
Ocean's 11

The Fly

Okay remakes (typically, both versions good in their own right):
Dawn of the Dead
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Cape Fear
Nosferatu
High Society (remake of Philapdelphia story)
The Killers


Worst:
Planet of the Apes
Get Carter
Psycho
King Kong (the 70's one)

I nominate "Rollerball" for the worst remake ever.
