The remake with Kurt Russell Is much better

Yes, but you can’t beat the tempo and the humor of the dialogue in the original.

The 1951 version better captured the essence of the original John Campbell story.

They are both good movies.

The remake follows the original novella Who Goes There by John Campbell in 1938. This flick took a similar setting and set of characters and fashioned a different story. Having seen both, I rarely miss Hawks’movie when it’s on. The Kurt Russell version I watch occasionally

I prefer the 2011 version starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Ulrich Thomsen, it ends where the Kurt Russell version starts.
