Best (TIE): The Front Page (1931) was re-made in 1940 as His Girl Friday with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. Re-made again in 1974 as The Front Page with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemon (with Lemon playing the part of Hildy- the Rosalind Russell role). Both versions better than the original with a slight nod to the 1940 version. Close second- Sabrina, with the re-make a little better than the original.

If you have to do a remake. It means you have run out of original ideas.

The remake of the Bad News Bears with Billy Bob Thornton is one of the WORST remakes. That movie also spawned two really bad sequels.
