Have to be non-foreign remakes... for example no Vanilla Sky. The Italian Job would work though. Call me an English language hypocrite.

Best...

Thomas Crown Affair
Father of the Bride
Heat
I Am Legend
Ocean's Eleven
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
The Thing
Cape Fear
The Italian Job

Worst:

Red Dawn
Point Break
Miracle on 34th Street
Robocop


I have to look up more... cant remember the bad ones.

I agree with Robocop.

Haven't seen the others.

I try to weigh each movie individually.

Example: Each Planet of the Apes was unique in their storyline.

Yeah. I did not like Whalbergs one but it was not a remake imo...

Both Red Dawn's were completely terrible. Hard to define which was more terrible.
 
The best IMO is probably Scarface(Yes it was a remake).

The worst?

 
The Magnificent Seven was a remake of Seven Samurai.... I vote Seven Samurai by a hair...

The Day the Earth Stood Still I vote the original.

All the new Godzillas fail compared to the impact of the original. CGI whupped by a rubber suit.

IMHO
 
So many good movies

The Year of Living Dangerously
Godfather 1/2
Rollerball (the remake sucked massively)
Planet of the Apes (the remake sucked massively)
Patton
Jeremiah Johnson
Der Zorn Gottes (Aguirre, the Wrath of God)
GLORY
Saving Private Ryan
Gladiator
The Last of the Mohicans
Where Eagles Dare


the most OVERRATED movie I have ever seen was "The thin red line"

awful.

A rip off of star wars-Star crash was brutally bad

Bad Turtle. For your penance, you have to donate $1 to Hillary Clinton's election campaign and make sure that you claim it on your taxes so that there is a Fed. record of your support. :twisted:

Noooooo!

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008) with Keanu as Klaatu.
The Karate Kid (2010) with Will Smiths kid
Rollerball (2002)
