Ummmm, read through this. . .
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_film_remakes
There are a few. . . but most of the good ones are 30s and 40s remakes of silent films.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a remake of Bedtime story with Marlon Brando and David Niven.
A Fistful of Dollars is a remake of Yojimbo.
Other good remakes that are not necessarily better but offer something:
Major Payne
Oscar
Throw Momma From the Train (Strangers on a Train)
The Man Who Knew Too Much (which is funny because Hitchcock directed the original as well)
12 Monkeys (La Jetee)
The Magnificent Seven
Ewwwwww. . . apparently there is a new Flash Gordon coming out? How can it possibly be any good without a Queen soundtrack?
And they are remaking revenge of the nerds? Mannnn. LAME.
