Best/Worst Remakes

[SpacePuppet]

What do you think are the best and worst remakes? Mine are...


Best: Texas Chainsaw Massacre, I know many will disagree, but I thought this was a great movie. Nicely acted and suspenseful. (8/10)

Worst: The Shining, The little kid with his buck teeth was getting on my nerves. I don't know why they even bothered wasteing their time making this, the original is untouchable.
(2/10)

I don't know about best but the worst is, undoubtly, The Truth About Charlie! What a piece of incoherent crap!

BEST

The Untouchables(1987) 9/10 (the first was a tv series, but it should still count)

The Haunting
Psycho
Planet Of The Apes

I would hate to correct you but A Fistful Of Dynamite is not a remake of Yojimbo. A Fistful Of Dollars is a remake of Yojimbo. A Fistful Of Dynamite is a good film by Leone.
