Which remakes of golden age classics are YOUR favorites? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 10 Old Hollywood Movies That Were Ahead of Their Time - th-cam.com/video/X1mJX9fdkyI/w-d-xo.html
The three Musketeers movies get better each time the latest is with French actors and the French language and had half the movie come out this spring with the second coming in winter
Fun fact, the crew of the prequel DID use practical effects but the studio added in CGI without their consent. They butchered the film for absolutely no reason. @@skyeslaton3435
Father of the Bride should have been on here. The original has some sweet moments, but it has nothing on Steve Martin almost tripping on the swan and then sliding on the ice
"His Girl Friday" is a testament to the what happens when you give incredible actors brilliant dialogue. Also, proof that Rosalind Russell may have been the most underrated actress in Hollywood history.
Well there is ONE thing the remake does do better than the original: Anne Durrow. Naomi Watt’s feels more like fully dimensional character than Fay Wray’s and also less annoying too. Gosh! I could not stand the screams at all in the original. I swear there are moments in the original where I wanted Kong to drop her.
Glad you didn’t have The Manchurian Candidate on this list. No way was that remake better than the original. You should also give some props to the Judy Garland version of A Star is Born. That was also an excellent version of the story. Almost seems like they simply can’t make a bad version of that story.
The ‘54 version is one of the saddest particularly when Judy Garland’s life mirrored Norman’s in the film. It also is so well crafted thanks to George Cukor helming the film
I beg to differ about Shane and Sabrina, while I would have added The Great Gatsby or Magnificent Obsession. Logan is more a tribute film than a remake and Sabrina’s 90s version although nice, it cannot be a better film than Billy Wilder’s with Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart.
Audrey Hepburn was incandescent. Problem was she had about as much chemistry with Humphrey Bogart as she would have had with a cheese sandwich. He was a terrible choice for a romantic lead. He always struck me as a sad hound dog of a man with very little changes in facial expression.
@@terrib627 Well, it seems that Cary Grant was the original choice for the part. Even with not much chemistry, Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond are not a sizzling pair either, and as much as I like him, he is pretty stern in Sabrina’s remake. I understand your point.
They are 3 of the finest horror remakes. Cronenberg’s is its own story (an allegory to the HIV panic though he denied this was in purpose) with horrifying practical effects, the ‘78 Body Snatchers nailed the midst of the Cold War panic and The Thing is one of the most atmospheric closed circuit horror films
Gimme a break. Judy Garland's "A Star is Born" has some of the greatest acting and music ever on film. The 2018 version only "knocks your socks off" because you're a sheep following the herd.
I would add "The Parent Trap" to this list. (Though with the caveat that the original isn't bad. Like all these movies, it adheres to the filmmaking style of the time, so it feels slightly less relatable to our present-day tastes.)
I thought the Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson remake of a Star is Born was better but it's probably a generational thing and more young people probably haven't seen it. I liked the songs better and it's Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson was really nice eye candy.
I always thought that movie was fun but it wasn't until I started reading articles on how it's one of the BEST movies I realized it's severely underated. It really was/is a GOOD movie that holds better than most summer blockbusters
@@welcometothemovies9157 Well, both movies are of the same genre, and both follow a trope that is so many times used in Westerns, so I agree, but then again, I bet we can find a dozen other Western movies in which a "stranger" arrives, a stranger who is an excellent gunslinger and delivers justice, and at the end that stranger rides his horse toward the sunset... That is a typical Western, something people enjoyed watching, and so many times the stranger was an antihero who looks intimidating, and is scary and deadly, but for those who are "bad".
I'm not too sure of calling 'Logan' a remake of 'Shane', especially since 'Shane' is directly mentioned in the movie. And I'm less sure that 'Logan' is actually better than 'Shane'. I may have to rewatch both.
I am sure and it is not a remake. It is arguably an adaptation of the story, but it is definitely not a remake. Just having a few thematic/plot similarities doesn’t make it a remake. Otherwise, while we are at it, Lion King is a remake of Hamlet, West Side Story is a remake of Romeo and Juliet, etc.
Which is better is largely a matter of taste. If you like Westerns better, you probably like Shane, and if you like action movies (or comic adaptations) you probably prefer Logan. Both are really good for what they are.
I would have added "You've Got Mail" to the list - "The Shop Around the Corner" was a nice movie, but You've Got Mail managed to capture such a specific moment of time - chatrooms and dial-up, the moment when the big chain stores were putting the mom and pop stores out of business, plus the views of the Upper West Side are beautiful.
The 1960 film is a great little B movie & if it didn’t come first we wouldn’t have the musical that spawned the ‘86 film. The ‘86 film has a great soundtrack (thanks to Alan Menken and Howard Ashman), a quirky cast and the humor is so darkly hilariously
The only picks I unreservedly agree with are The Fly, His Girl Friday, and Ocean's Eleven. It's a major stretch to call Logan a remake of Shane, and I still would put Shane above it. The 80's version of The Thing is scarier and more intense, but the 1951 is really good. The 1995 Sabrina is very enjoyable, but it has an unsolvable problem: Juia Ormond is not Audrey Hepburn. Not her fault, of course, but that's why no Audrey Hepburn movie should be remade.
Genuinely thought "Father of the Bride" would get an honorable mention at the very least. Personal opinion: it should take the "Logan" spot because that movie seems more an homage than a remake
I would say Sabrina and True Grit are equal in quality because Audrey Hepburn and John Wayne are so iconic in their performances the remakes feel "different but not less than."
The Mummy (1999) is such a great movie and one of my favorites. The action and perfectly cast characters, is what made it so enjoyable to me. I never saw the original but I made it through about 20 minutes of the newer version with Tom Cruise and turned it off.
My thoughts exactly. I have not watched very many movies with Tom Cruise. Mr arrogant and smarter then everyone just chews through his movies and runs over all others in film (in my pov)k and he isn't nearly as 'beautiful' as he thinks he is.
His Girl Friday, Ocean's Eleven, and A Star is Born are the only remakes I call outright better. I think it's unfair to compare The Mummy, The Thing, and The Fly to their remakes -- I find all six very satisfying, each in their own way, and even feel more at home with the original Fly. Logan and Shane are each strong but simply too different. And sorry, but how do we proceed to forget all about Audrey Hepburn? If you want to sell me on a remake, it's got to be on the level of The Maltese Falcon beating out Satan Met a Lady.
The only one of these I have seen is Sabrina. I didn't see the original so, obviously, I had no idea that it was a remake. I think, now, you should start a list of movies that should not have been remade. I'll get you started: 1) King Kong and 2) Godzilla.😮😢
His Girl Friday was remade as well. Switching Channels with Burt Reynolds. Star is Born with Judy Garland is the better version The original True Grit was way better. Though it's sequel with Katherine Hepburn was more fun The remake of Magnificent Seven was more enjoyable to watch The Thing should be #1 Surprised Invasion of the Body Snatchers wasn't on the list. Or War of the Worlds The remake of the Italian Job was also way better. Homeward Bound the Incredible Journey is much better than original. Cheaper by the Dozen
Thank you SO much for including the '90s remake of Sabrina on this list! Look, I love both Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart in many of their other roles, but there's no chemistry between them here. Ford and Ormond sizzle! Also, the supporting cast in the remake is excellent. I've had arguments with people over this. I feel vindicated!
The Magnificent Seven (2016) was a remake of the classic 1960 film of the same name. The original Magnificent Seven was an almost scene for scene knockoff of Seven Samurai released in 1954
The best remake, you've shown here is "The Thing". Normally I 'm not into newer gorier color horror/sci fi, but this was so far closer to the original written story,where the first was just another man in a monster costume,(even if it was Marshal Dillon).
TOP 10 Best Bradley Cooper Movies: 1. A Star is Born (2018) 2. Silver Linings Playbook (2012) 3. American Sniper (2014) 4. American Hustle (2013) 5. The Hangover Saga (2009-2013) 6.

I'm so glad that someone else agrees the "True Grit" remake was the better version. My family thinks the original is better. But I think they just like John Wayne.
Remakes aren't always rubbish. I was impressed by how well done "A Star is Born 2018" was, each iteration was even better than the one that came before, in my opinion.
"True Grit" should have NEVER been remade much less having Jeff Bridges playing Rooster Cogburn! There are a lot of movies that should never be remade and quite a few that should.
Ransom. The original with Henry Fonda and Leslie Nielsen just sort of ended with the boy showing up at home after the broadcast where the father said what he was going to do with the money the kidnapper was asking for ransom. You never even find out who the kidnapper was. The remake with Mel Gibson, Renee Russo and Gary Sinise was much deeper and carried the story through to the end, with a nice twist along the way
not old hollywood to start with but i enjoyed watching the remake of Suspiria way more than the original one, the og one is obv stunning and genre-defining but it hasn't aged that well imo, adn the fact that they went for the coplete opposite aesthetically-wise made things v interesting
I think this is the first time I've ever heard of the 1995 Sabrina being considered better than the '54 original. Ford and Ormond didn't have much chemistry, either. And the original version isn't a "cult classic." Cult classics can't have been both critical and commercial successes when they were first released which Sabrina (1954) was.
I would argue most people don’t prefer the 1995 “Sabrina” over the 50’s one…I love Audrey but I do prefer the 1995 one myself but always thought I must be a piranha
True grit is barely a remake - remakes are supposed to have a feel and atmosphere of their own. The whole (2010) version is almost a complete copy (acting and costumes included), aside from a couple "new" scenes and an added ending. I was disappointed.
I agree with the mummy and true grit. The rest them were about even. And you forgot to karate kid to me. That was better, but by the same token, that wasn't as old as the rest of the films
Okay whoever thought "Logan" was better than "Shane" must have been on something to think that it is. Most people don't remember "Logan" but as soon as you mention "Shane" everybody knows what movie you are talking about. Same goes with "Sabrina" and "3:10 to Yuma" where the original is still the best version and the more memorable versions.
Definitely prefer the 1999 Mummy to the 1932 film. While it’s hard to surpass Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein, Bela Lugosi’s Dracula and Claude Raine’s Invisible Man, I feel like the 1999 Mummy film is one of the RARE times the original Universal Monster is totally eclipsed by the remake. Plus, watching the original after watching the 1999 series made me miss the action and corniness of that series.
Are you kidding? Just because the updated film has more explosions, gore and violence doesn't mean it's better than the original. I particularly object to you including Shane in this list. It's not my most favorite film, but it's up there and it''s a classic - as good as they come. You can't beat the cast, locations, script.
Yeah and be honest both versions of the same film featured here like The Mummy, The Fly and Little Shop of Horrors can be enjoyed due to how different they are from each other as well as how some remakes can stand on their own feet without relying on their predecessor like John Carpenter's The Thing for example.
Everybody has different opinions but I personally prefer The Sabrina Remake Than The Original mainly because of The Dialogue and The Chemistry between the two leads. I feel I would’ve loved the Original more if William Holden would’ve played Linus, since he had way more chemistry with Audrey Hepburn compared to Humphrey Bogart.
I m sorry but I disagree with sabrina. The first is magic. The remake is longer and boring. I saw the front page with cary grant, transformed in a very funny sentimental comedy… but the version with matthau and lemmon well… incredible! Sorry for my english!
THE MUMMY is more a (weak) attempt at Indiana Jones than remaking the Universal. LOGAN may evoke lines from SHANE but doesn't remake it - leading children to safety is more THE PIED PIPER. Lady Gaga is more remaking Streisand than Janet Gaynor, and the top A STAR IS BORN is always going to be Judy. There had been two version of THE MALTESE FALCON in the 1930s; the 1941 one must be the best of all remakes. TRUE GRIT 2010 has the good fortune to appear when Westerns were a relative rarity; the 1969 one was taken too much for granted.
Sabrina the Remake better is the chemistry between Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond there really wasn't Much Chemistry Between Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn because he couldn't stand her

Scarface 1932 - 1983
I like both Sabrina movies and the newest a star is born movie and the mummy from 1999 movie 😊❤
I still prefer Audrey Hepburn's Sabrina. I love Brendan Fraser's The Mummy though :)
I agree, the original Sabrina is light years ahead of the remake. Audrey Hepburn just illuminates the screen.
John Carpenter's _The Thing_ is so much better than the original. The plot is simply iconic and it's so much more creepy and unnerving.
Watched it for the first time last year, on Halloween, (that and Leviathan), and WOW, even for an older movie, JC's The Thing was absolutely amazing!
The practical effects still holds up better than 95% of today's effects
Fun fact, the crew of the prequel DID use practical effects but the studio added in CGI without their consent. They butchered the film for absolutely no reason. @@skyeslaton3435
Father of the Bride should have been on here. The original has some sweet moments, but it has nothing on Steve Martin almost tripping on the swan and then sliding on the ice
The original's nightmare sequences were too much for a family comedy
I love that film(the 1991 version), it’s one of my favourites!
The original Sabrina is way better! The cast is fantastic and Audrey is a dream.
Totally agree.
"His Girl Friday" is a testament to the what happens when you give incredible actors brilliant dialogue.
Also, proof that Rosalind Russell may have been the most underrated actress in Hollywood history.
While maybe not better than the original, the 2005 remake of ‘King Kong’ is easily one of my favorites.
Lol.. Worst remake ever.. The 70's remake although is better than the original.
Well there is ONE thing the remake does do better than the original: Anne Durrow. Naomi Watt’s feels more like fully dimensional character than Fay Wray’s and also less annoying too. Gosh!

My mom liked both versions of Sabrina even though she didn't much care for Humphrey Bogart as an actor.
Same. 90s Sabrina was fine but 50s Sabrina was superior
Audrey Hepburn was incandescent. Problem was she had about as much chemistry with Humphrey Bogart as she would have had with a cheese sandwich. He was a terrible choice for a romantic lead. He always struck me as a sad hound dog of a man with very little changes in facial expression.
@@terrib627 Well, it seems that Cary Grant was the original choice for the part. Even with not much chemistry, Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond are not a sizzling pair either, and as much as I like him, he is pretty stern in Sabrina’s remake. I understand your point.
Omg came to say the same!!!!
The remake of "Sabrina" wasn't better by far
Agree. The original was better and of course Audrey Hepburn.
The actress in the original version of A Star Is Born was Janet Gaynor, not Jane.
I appreciate you saying that.🤦🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🇺🇦
What about "Ben-Hur"? The original 1923 version was spectacular for its time, but the 1959 version was spectacular for ANY time.
They are both old Hollywood movies
But Bur-Hur was rebooted for the third time and it bombed.
The Fly, Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, and The Thing are really good horror remakes
Agreed, I was surprised that "The Thing 1982" was a remake to begin with.
The things too different and also counts as a re-adaptation
They are 3 of the finest horror remakes. Cronenberg’s is its own story (an allegory to the HIV panic though he denied this was in purpose) with horrifying practical effects, the ‘78 Body Snatchers nailed the midst of the Cold War panic and The Thing is one of the most atmospheric closed circuit horror films
Gimme a break. Judy Garland's "A Star is Born" has some of the greatest acting and music ever on film. The 2018 version only "knocks your socks off" because you're a sheep following the herd.
I would add "The Parent Trap" to this list. (Though with the caveat that the original isn't bad. Like all these movies, it adheres to the filmmaking style of the time, so it feels slightly less relatable to our present-day tastes.)
Don’t forget Freaky Friday
The old parent trap is 10x better than the new one
@@jcj268nope!
@@jackhammer0101 I prefer the Haley Mills Parent Trap and That Darn Cat... oh and the OG Flubber :)
I disagree with Sabrina. The original was much better
I have to agree. Plus you don’t hear anyone talk about the “Sabrina” remake compared to Audrey Hepburn’s electric personality as the title character
The remake was more down-to-earth and relatable
I thought the Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson remake of a Star is Born was better but it's probably a generational thing and more young people probably haven't seen it. I liked the songs better and it's Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson was really nice eye candy.
This version wasn't too bad for Me, but only because of Barbra's performance and the songs.
That 1999 Mummy movie still holds up and is still so much fun. It easily put that 2017 movie to shame
Indeed a classic
I always thought that movie was fun but it wasn't until I started reading articles on how it's one of the BEST movies I realized it's severely underated. It really was/is a GOOD movie that holds better than most summer blockbusters
The 1999 was good
They are very different movies with the same name.
Logan is an adaptation of Shane?? Now, that is a stretch... OK...I can see the similarities, but I would never have thought that...
If anything, Clint Eastwood Pale Rider is more of a remake of Shane than anything
@@welcometothemovies9157 Well, both movies are of the same genre, and both follow a trope that is so many times used in Westerns, so I agree, but then again, I bet we can find a dozen other Western movies in which a "stranger" arrives, a stranger who is an excellent gunslinger and delivers justice, and at the end that stranger rides his horse toward the sunset... That is a typical Western, something people enjoyed watching, and so many times the stranger was an antihero who looks intimidating, and is scary and deadly, but for those who are "bad".

If you like Westerns better, you probably like Shane, and if you like action movies (or comic adaptations) you probably prefer Logan.
Both are really good for what they are.
The 2018 version of a star is born is not even in the same league as the Judy Garland version! Let alone being considered better, that’s laughable! 😂
I think it depends on which version you saw first. I watched the original from the 30s first, so it's my favorite. 😊
@@vhagerty I agree, the original is my second favorite, I don’t care for the last two.
The newest version barely resembles the original. It's shouldn't even have the same name.
Judy Garland's is the better, no doubt!
But they're comparing 2018 to 1937, not 1954.
“Modern Sensibilities” does not make a remake better.
I would have added "You've Got Mail" to the list - "The Shop Around the Corner" was a nice movie, but You've Got Mail managed to capture such a specific moment of time - chatrooms and dial-up, the moment when the big chain stores were putting the mom and pop stores out of business, plus the views of the Upper West Side are beautiful.
I Like The Rick Moranis Version Of Little Shop Of Horrors If only I can remember the year It Released had on the top of my head
1986
The 1960 film is a great little B movie & if it didn’t come first we wouldn’t have the musical that spawned the ‘86 film. The ‘86 film has a great soundtrack (thanks to Alan Menken and Howard Ashman), a quirky cast and the humor is so darkly hilariously
Nothing can compare to the version of sabrina with Audrey Hepburn is was a very beautiful lady and talented actress and just one of a kind .
The only picks I unreservedly agree with are The Fly, His Girl Friday, and Ocean's Eleven. It's a major stretch to call Logan a remake of Shane, and I still would put Shane above it.

Genuinely thought "Father of the Bride" would get an honorable mention at the very least. Personal opinion: it should take the "Logan" spot because that movie seems more an homage than a remake
There are a lot of high profile movies missing on this list such as Scarface, Cape Fear, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Blob etc.
The original Sabrina is my favorite I didn’t really care for the remake 🤷♀️
I would say Sabrina and True Grit are equal in quality because Audrey Hepburn and John Wayne are so iconic in their performances the remakes feel "different but not less than."
Not surprised that oceans eleven is on the list
No way 1995's Sabrina is better than Billy Wilder's!
Finally some love for the 90’s version of Sabrina. Julia Ormond was so charming in it.
Agreed! Seeing the clips made me want to watch it again asap. It’s definitely in my top 10 favorite movies ever. 🥰
It dosent hold a candle to the original I don’t care what the 21 year old tiktok obsessed fool who made this list has to say about cinema
@@alexflowers97 I could not agree more!
Wizard of OZ(1930) is way better then the original one that got made 1910 and the second version from 1925
*(1939)
The Mummy (1999) is such a great movie and one of my favorites. The action and perfectly cast characters, is what made it so enjoyable to me. I never saw the original but I made it through about 20 minutes of the newer version with Tom Cruise and turned it off.

I strongly disagree with "A Star is Born." The Judy Garland/James Mason version is outstanding.
Great list I also thought of Scarface
Imitation of Life should be on the list. Both great films but the 1959 version was better than the 1934 version in my opinion.
Oh the funeral at the end of the 1959 one!
2018 a star is born is overrated 1954 version is way better than that
Exactly!! Judy Garland is perfect, and the songs are great. The 2018 is meh ... too long and boring.
There is no way Jeff Bridges out does the man the myth the legend of John Wayne! Absolutely prosperous!!!
Logan is NOT a remake of Shane.
The only one of these I have seen is Sabrina. I didn't see the original so, obviously, I had no idea that it was a remake. I think, now, you should start a list of movies that should not have been remade. I'll get you started: 1) King Kong and 2) Godzilla.😮😢

Star is Born with Judy Garland is the better version
The original True Grit was way better. Though it's sequel with Katherine Hepburn was more fun
The remake of Magnificent Seven was more enjoyable to watch
The Thing should be #1
Surprised Invasion of the Body Snatchers wasn't on the list. Or War of the Worlds
The remake of the Italian Job was also way better.
Homeward Bound the Incredible Journey is much better than original.
Cheaper by the Dozen
Thank you SO much for including the '90s remake of Sabrina on this list! Look, I love both Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart in many of their other roles, but there's no chemistry between them here. Ford and Ormond sizzle! Also, the supporting cast in the remake is excellent. I've had arguments with people over this. I feel vindicated!
James Cameron's Titanic should DEFINITELY be on here on account that I consider it far superior to A Night To Remember.
The Magnificent Seven (2016) was a remake of the classic 1960 film of the same name. The original Magnificent Seven was an almost scene for scene knockoff of Seven Samurai released in 1954
Calling Logan a remake of Shane is ridiculous. Is heavily inspired put still a completely different genre of movie.
I’m disappointed that The Little Princess (1937) and A Little Princess (1995) weren’t included!
What about NIGHTMARE ALLEY?
Scarface 1932-1983 🥲
I like sabrina with Harrison ford
Scarface should’ve been on this list.
The best remake, you've shown here is "The Thing". Normally I 'm not into newer gorier color horror/sci fi, but this was so far closer to the original written story,where the first was just another man in a monster costume,(even if it was Marshal Dillon).

Ok?
Don't forget Guardians Of The Galaxy.
His remake of a star us born is terrible.
Any movie with Cary Grant in it can't be improved upon. Period. And the original Sabrina is far better.
I'm so glad that someone else agrees the "True Grit" remake was the better version. My family thinks the original is better. But I think they just like John Wayne.
You've got Mail!
Remakes aren't always rubbish. I was impressed by how well done "A Star is Born 2018" was, each iteration was even better than the one that came before, in my opinion.
Their three before lady Caca version. You better not be talking about the Garland version because it’s light years ahead of the latest one
You left out 2014 Manchurian Candidate a reboot from 62' film that Denzel Washington plays the Frank Sinatra's role.
I feel like Logan movie is more like the last of us live action
Bradley Cooper is my favorite Hollywood Actor. He's such an awesome and cool dude
I honestly cannot say for certainty that I have seen these. I know I have seen the newer fly but I think thats about it on this list.
That was fun....But, is there a "Worst 10 Remakes" of Old Hollywood?!? That could be even funnister.
no way Sabrina 1995 is a better film than the original
Logan is definitely no remake, but a tribute to Shane.
"True Grit" should have NEVER been remade much less having Jeff Bridges playing Rooster Cogburn! There are a lot of movies that should never be remade and quite a few that should.
And John Wayne's True Grit is THE True Grit.
1954 version of A Star is Born is the best version.
I'd add 1987's 'No Way Out', a remake of 1948's 'The Big Clock'.
Ransom. The original with Henry Fonda and Leslie Nielsen just sort of ended with the boy showing up at home after the broadcast where the father said what he was going to do with the money the kidnapper was asking for ransom. You never even find out who the kidnapper was. The remake with Mel Gibson, Renee Russo and Gary Sinise was much deeper and carried the story through to the end, with a nice twist along the way
It’s so good!
not old hollywood to start with but i enjoyed watching the remake of Suspiria way more than the original one, the og one is obv stunning and genre-defining but it hasn't aged that well imo, adn the fact that they went for the coplete opposite aesthetically-wise made things v interesting
What about "Imitation Of Life"?
I think this is the first time I've ever heard of the 1995 Sabrina being considered better than the '54 original. Ford and Ormond didn't have much chemistry, either. And the original version isn't a "cult classic." Cult classics can't have been both critical and commercial successes when they were first released which Sabrina (1954) was.
I would argue most people don’t prefer the 1995 “Sabrina” over the 50’s one…I love Audrey but I do prefer the 1995 one myself but always thought I must be a piranha
Do you mean pariah? or do you mean the killer carnivorous fish? LOL I do not like the older version except for Audrey.
An Affair To Remember is the superior remake to Love Affair and You’ve Got Mail remake of The Shop Around The Corner!!
True grit is barely a remake - remakes are supposed to have a feel and atmosphere of their own. The whole (2010) version is almost a complete copy (acting and costumes included), aside from a couple "new" scenes and an added ending. I was disappointed.
I agree with the mummy and true grit. The rest them were about even. And you forgot to karate kid to me. That was better, but by the same token, that wasn't as old as the rest of the films
The original Sabrina is better. Its not even close .
Oceans 11 was good
Okay whoever thought "Logan" was better than "Shane" must have been on something to think that it is. Most people don't remember "Logan" but as soon as you mention "Shane" everybody knows what movie you are talking about. Same goes with "Sabrina" and "3:10 to Yuma" where the original is still the best version and the more memorable versions.
No if you're under 40 years old dude. Face it, majority don't like western movies nowadays.
Also calling Logan a remake of that movie is ridiculous.
For once, I agree with this list. Now, don’t get me wrong, the original movies are great but the remakes of them is better.
The 1995 sabrina is truly good 😊
Definitely prefer the 1999 Mummy to the 1932 film. While it’s hard to surpass Boris Karloff’s Frankenstein, Bela Lugosi’s Dracula and Claude Raine’s Invisible Man, I feel like the 1999 Mummy film is one of the RARE times the original Universal Monster is totally eclipsed by the remake. Plus, watching the original after watching the 1999 series made me miss the action and corniness of that series.
Logan does belong on this list
Invasion of the Body Snatchers!
Are you kidding? Just because the updated film has more explosions, gore and violence doesn't mean it's better than the original. I particularly object to you including Shane in this list. It's not my most favorite film, but it's up there and it''s a classic - as good as they come. You can't beat the cast, locations, script.
Yeah and be honest both versions of the same film featured here like The Mummy, The Fly and Little Shop of Horrors can be enjoyed due to how different they are from each other as well as how some remakes can stand on their own feet without relying on their predecessor like John Carpenter's The Thing for example.
Everybody has different opinions but I personally prefer The Sabrina Remake Than The Original mainly because of The Dialogue and The Chemistry between the two leads. I feel I would’ve loved the Original more if William Holden would’ve played Linus, since he had way more chemistry with Audrey Hepburn compared to Humphrey Bogart.
You forgot Cape fear the remake is excellent just like the original but even more better
"Even more better" is incorrect English. And the original Cape Fear was far better than the remake.
The things going for remakes is they don’t have to follow code era Hollywood rules
I m sorry but I disagree with sabrina. The first is magic. The remake is longer and boring. I saw the front page with cary grant, transformed in a very funny sentimental comedy… but the version with matthau and lemmon well… incredible! Sorry for my english!
Let’s do this in Disney!
THE MUMMY is more a (weak) attempt at Indiana Jones than remaking the Universal.
LOGAN may evoke lines from SHANE but doesn't remake it - leading children to safety is more THE PIED PIPER.
Lady Gaga is more remaking Streisand than Janet Gaynor, and the top A STAR IS BORN is always going to be Judy.
There had been two version of THE MALTESE FALCON in the 1930s; the 1941 one must be the best of all remakes.
TRUE GRIT 2010 has the good fortune to appear when Westerns were a relative rarity; the 1969 one was taken too much for granted.
The Last of the Mohicans
The man who knew too much should of been on here.
Shane they also did in the dark knight
Sabrina the Remake better is the chemistry between Harrison Ford and Julia Ormond there really wasn't Much Chemistry Between Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn because he couldn't stand her
First movie that came to mind was Scarface.
