Though it pales in comparison to the original, I did enjoy the remake of Red Dawn.

Best - Heat (LA Takedown was original) Worst - A-Team. I refuse to watch 90% of remakes, especially Longest Yard

Best remake - and about the only one I really like - The Thing - the John Carpenter version. Not that the original was shabby.

I thought the remake of “Cape Fear” was pretty awful. I could probably think of worse ones but my mind seems sort of blank right now.

I thought Robocop was a remake of the Japanese cartoon “8 Man” (turned into “Tobor the 8th Man” by ABC Films) myself.

BTW, since there have been so many remakes of film versions of “A Christmas Carol”, do they count?

I liked the remake of Robocop quite a bit. I liked the original too. The remake is not a duplicate. They both stand on their own.

I tend to forget I ever even saw movies I don't like.

Worst remake....

Original: No Man of Her Own - Barbara Stanwyck
Remake : Mrs. Winterbourne - Shirley MacLaine & Ricki Lake

The original is a drama. They turned it into a comedy. Just AWFUL.

I am not sure if it qualifies as a remake since Star Trek was a TV series but the first “Star Trek” movie was about as bad as it gets, at least with one where they at least try to make it good.

Best remake was IMHO Rooster Cogburn.

As much as I love Ronald Reagan, his version of “Law and Order” (1953), while an agreeable film, really doesn’t hold a candle to the 1932 original with Walter Huston.

Ed Norton doesn’t make it in Red Dragon, the remake of Manhunter.

The Wizard of Oz was so much better than the several silent and B&W versions that it would qualify.

I enjoyed the “True Grit” remake. Usually won’t watch remakes as the almost always suck. Example: the original Robocop is a multi-layered masterpiece; the remake looked like dreck from what i saw of the promos.
