Remakes that you thought were better than the original ~

The Departed (2006) > the Chinese departed
The Mechanic w/ Jason Statham > The Mechanic w/ Charles Bronson
Scarface (1983) > the old black & white one
Oceans 11 w/ Clooney > Oceans 11 w/ Sinatra
And I'll say I really liked the new 3:10 to Yuma with Bale and Crowe but I haven't seen the original.

Just kidding with the others but I would say the Italian Job is well done remake and Oceans 11 was another really good one.

I agree.

True Grit
Wouldn't go there. First one seems more direct, less rambling. Think the girl in the first one is better. Even like Glen Campbell better than Matt Damon.
Not proud of it, but I like the 1999 remake of the Thomas Crown Affair better than the 1968 Steve McQueen one.

I literally watch this every time I see it on tv.

The only correct answer is The Wicker Man

True Grit comes to mind first

No. It was a very good remake but the original was way better. It might just be because I'm a sucker for the Rat Pack stuff though

I opened this thread praying I wouldn't see someone say The Great Gatsby. I get irrationally angry when I see the remake on my HBO guide. It was so terrible, and why they made a 3D version I'll never understand.
As to the original question, I enjoyed the True grit remake better than the original mainly for the subtle humor of the Coen brothers. I often times found myself the only one in the theater laughing. Both versions are great though.
