Top 20 Best Movie Remakes

King Kong.....33 debut, not 31...

Original King Kong was 1933 not 1931.

Ja-Horr!? 😂 it doesn’t sound right

Where is Ten Commandments on this list? And I disagree about Magnificent Seven. The Seven Samurai was better.

Cape Fear

You joking about Magnificient Seven, it's peace of sheet.

What about mad max

YESSS!!!! I dont care what anyone says, "THE THING" from 1982 will always be the King of remakes in the 80s!!! Back in the time when making remakes wasnt really a "thing", John Carpenter set the bar high for future science-fiction horror and truly grotesque action scenes between the Monster against the crew. If you have never seen the movie, I would highly advise it and keep reminding yourself, "Wow, this was really made in 1982!!!" Which truly makes this horror classic, a CLASSIC FOR ALL TIME AND FUTURE GENERATIONS WHEN WE'LL BE DEAD!!! ❤

I loved the original!!!!

The remake of Dawn of the Dead should be on there

Where’s the blob 1988

Ringu is far better than Remake, The Ring.

The Thomas Crown Affair!!

Remake "The Giant Claw"!

Found the remake Oceans Eleven long drawn out and boring.

How The Blob is not on this list is beyond me!

The Thing is still the scariest portrayal of an alien I've ever seen.

Scent of a Woman, the best remake

The 90's version of The Jungle Book is still the best.

Good list, some of my favorite movies are on it. Special mention of The Invisible Man. Leigh Whannell is an underrated director.

West Side Story isn't a remake.

From this list I especially enjoy West Side Story, True Lies and The Jungle Book (I do Love also Disney's other Live Action films based on animations).

The remake of "True Grit" forgot everything that made the original so loved.

West Side Story? Seriously? The movie was an utter failure. Many people hated, and it was a total flop that only made $76 million when it needed $300 million just to break even.

All right. I'll give you that. That is the ONLY live action Disney remake that was good. Jungle Book was all right. Cruella and Maleficent we're all right. But that's it. Pinocchio was good. But no more.

Texas chainsaw massacre 2003 remake should be on here. Masterpiece highly underrated

Sorry but japanese cinema it's on another level. You can't compare a master like Kurosawa with anyone. As you can compare Ringu with The Ring. J Horror is ten times superior to the horror of that era in the States.

Donde está Perfume de mujer ?

The west side story was filmed in my city of Paterson NJ. I got shocked when I went downtown and saw all the buildings transformed to the old days

Where Is The Dark Knight? It Is A Remake Of Batman

The best remakes are Ben-Hur and The Ten Commandments both starring Charlton Heston.

The clip of Infernal Affairs used here is dubbed in Mandarin instead of the original in Cantonese.

The Fly (1986) at #4?

The thing is just incredible

Had to check Jeff Goldblum's age real quick 😅

Definitely the thing. The original was cute but not scary.

I love both True Grit adaptations. John Wayne and Jeff Bridges were both fantastic as Rooster Cogburn.

King Kong 1933 not 31

This countdown is trash. Love Jack black, that movie was trash. Really long, boring. And my uncle who’s seen both John Wayne version and Jeff Bridges version trashes that remake. Love Jeff tho too

1939 Wizard of Oz and The Wiz definitely should've been on the list of the top 5

West Side Story was a remake nobody wanted.

I have to disagree with Jungle Book. The singing of the new version was not up to par and it lost most of its charm. The "animation" of the newer version also gave me the creeps. It was a little too soon for computer generated "live action" animals. In addition, it was more frightening for children. It basically moved the movie into a older age-group.

What about Four Brothers? It’s the remake of the Sons of Katie Elder. I loved that movie!

Cape Fear would be another one.

How did Scorcese's Cape Fear slip past everyone?
I'm a bigger fan of 1976's King Kong (rather than Jackson's), which gave us one of the first realist ape performances through Rick Baker's creation, a better narrative, and Jessica Lange.

The Thing 1982 is still to this day my all time favorite psychological horror/body horror movie

What about robocop and Godzilla king of the monsters
