I don’t know about “great” but I can think of some “good” ones.
SCARFACE. How about “The Fly”, I didn’t even know that was a remake. I enjoyed Naomi Watt’s King Kong.
Good calls!!! Tony Montana is an example of how the GOP should be run: a combo of coke and Einsatzgruppen, but I digress.
How ‘bout “The Magnificent Seven”? A remake of a Japamese movie.
Just down the road from Hollywood, the remake of “The Devil In Miss Jones” was ‘better’. :)
RE “Naomi Watts King Kong”
I loved that movie. The insects in the pit were particularly horrifying. What I didn’t like were the firearms special effects; the Thompsons sounded like cap guns. And shooting the giant cricket off the guy’s face at close range - with a THOMPSON.... I dunno...
But overall it was a cool remake.
RE “The Fly” Jeff Goldblum played that well... progressively more deranged as the insect took over. Although, in the original, David Hedison’s face on the fly caught in the spider web as the spider came towards him was terrifying and gave me night mares as a kid.
RE “Scarface” - I didn’t know that was a remake...wasn’t the original about Al Capone???
