Favorite movie remake?
What is your favorite remake or re-imagining of all-time? I've listed a few in the poll, but there are so many others. Obviously, some of the remakes/re-imaginings have a different title than the original film.
I'll let you guys figure out that part on your own.

Which "The Thing" is on the poll? If it's the 1982 remake, that's my choice.... 2011 remake not so much.

Even though The Fly and many more on the list are some of my favorite films, I went with the Departed because its a favorite of mine and I think it improved upon the story without the benefit of a modern contrast.

While I like a lot of the remakes on that list, I still prefer the originals. I voted "other" and was thinking of John Huston's THE MALTESE FALCON (1941), the third version of that book made by Warner Bros. in a ten-year-period and the only one that's considered a classic.

Can't really call the poll favorite remake of "All-Time" unless you wanna post every remake ever made. Should've been called "Favorite remake on this list". For me, it's a toss up between Cape Fear and Scarface. I chose Scarface though.

True Grit and Casino Royale are not remakes though. TG is merely another adaption of the book, staying truer to it. And Casino Royale is a an actual adaptation of the book where the 1967 film was a satire film made only as such cuz it couldn't get worked out with Eon. It takes no real elements from that film.

Revisiting the source material is, to me, a borderline remake. While it isn't a true remake of the original movie, it is an attempt to revisit (and hopefully improve upon) the same story (IF the original movie was true to the source material -- Casino Royale was not).
Do people seriously think the newer The Thing is a remake of John Carpenter's The Thing?
