1) Point Break
2) The Karate Kid
3) The Longest Yard

When somebody asks you "Which dildo is yours?" You tell 'em "It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker"

The new ghost busters was amazing. Anyone who says otherwise is racist and sexist.

The Thing (1982), probably the greatest practical effects horror film of all time...

...was a remake of The Thing from Another World (1951), which featured "some big bloke moving quite slowly" as the monster:

Are you saying the newer Point Break was better than this one, or this Point Break is better than an earlier version I'm not aware of?

You forgot the Total Recall remake.

The Ring (2002)...

...was creepier than the Japanese film Ring (1998):

You forgot the Total Recall remake.

That's a good call. I'm surprised they haven't done 'The Running Man' yet.

Speaking of which:

7) Conan

Original one was shite, but the new one wasn't a remake, reboot maybe.

So much better though, no need for plots with world ending ramifications, just another day at work for Dredd. Urban was great, could tell he was a 2000ad fan.

Brah, Conan is supposed to move like a panther, not some stiff muscle bound gorilla.
Momoa kicks Arnold's ass all day, every day!

While you have a point, Momoa is an Islander, Crom is based on Celtic mythology.

He's no Conan, no matter how tough you think he is.

maybe Scarface although I have only seen a clip from the original the newer one probably just has more production and money behind it.

I wish they would have made that sequel I think amazon or netflix could finance a part 2.

 

[YourDaddyDevilAndLord]

They should remake the Twilight Zone movie with Jaden Smith playing the Vic Morrow role....

 

[Tiiimmmaaayyy]

The Keanu and Swayze version was definitely better.
