1991 Cape Fear. One of the best remakes of a film that I've ever seen. I like the original 1962 film, but I love the 1991 remake.

Syfy's miniseries version of Alice in Wonderland in 2009 was fun. I still watch it from time to time. Tin Man? Damn, that one had such a fun concept and intriguing beginning, but it did feel like as it went along either the writers lost the plot or the network/producers started meddling a lot. No, Tin Man was good at points, but they did an Alice adaption around there too. www.imdb.com/title/tt1461312/I've been a big fan of Andrew Lee Potts since. |

some I like that might not have been mentioned
Heat - Michael Mann remade his own film L.A. Takedown
Little Shop of Horrors - technically based on the musical but was the film first.
Airplane being a remake of Zero Hour could be argued as tenuous
the Battlestar Galactica series was awesome
Scum was a 1977 TV movie that got banned and remade for cinemas in 1979, I think both versions are great
Some Like it Hot was a remake of a French movie from the 30s (which had been remade in Germany in the 50s before SLIH)
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

Agreed about MYP He-Man. Of the new Transformers series, Animated and Prime. Oh Beast Wars of course.
On the game show front.... Family Feud with Ray Combs. Password Plus and Super Password. The current version of Press Your Luck. And that little remake of a 50s show... something about a right price. Then the reboot of that 60s show about making matches.

Not sure if Covers count, but I actually like the Limp Bizkit version of Behind Blue Eyes better than the Who version.
I know that is near sacrilege to say. I just think the instrumentation, and vocal effects on the Bizkit version better convey a sense of depression, and hopelessness.

The 2017 Power Rangers reboot. I can see why it ultimately failed, but I personally enjoyed it. If anything the problem was it was a generic movie that could been any superhero movie but just had the PR logo on it which was fine as the cast had decent chemistry |

I know Manhunter has a lot of fans, but I think Red Dragon is a better movie.
Hideaki Anno's Godzilla re-boot was also a fascinating way to re-interpret the concept, and much better than many of the films in the original franchise.
X-Men: First Class and Days Of Future Past are my favorite films in the franchise.

It's more or less been said in this thread, and remake/reboot is kind of poor phrasing for a franchise like Transformers that does something new every few years, but I feel like when people wax nostalgic about G1, they're waxing nostalgic about the ideals of G1 that have been built upon in subsequent years, because while the original series has its share of standout moments, don't get me wrong... it's really... not that great, especially when you've gotten used to more modern arc-driven animation or just the characterizations and Transformers lore that have been built upon over the years. At least for me, it's going to be hard to top Animated for the TV shows and to top James Roberts' run on the IDW comics for just Transformers storytelling as a whole. More or less what I meant by every MOTU being better than the original. I love it but it's really poorly animated and cheaply written. Og Thundercats was actually way better written and animated than usually credited. People tend to lump it into toy commercial tv but it was always a cartoon first. That said the first remake did a great job of modernizing it. Although at the cost of removing a lot of the scifi elements of the original |

Bad Lieutenant: Port Call of New Orleans "Shoot him again!" "Why?" "His soul is still dancing!" Seriously. Like...the Abel Ferrera version is good. But Herzog's version is better in every possible way. And the conclusion to the movie is absolutely hilarious. |

Bad Lieutenant: Port Call of New Orleans Awesome movie, but philosophically... Is it a remake? Herzog has apparently never seen the original, and wasn't a huge fan of the branding, but it was what it took to get it made. For his part Abel Ferrara hated that it got made and had some pretty nasty things to say about Herzog, who responded in kind. |

Didn't Ferrara wish death on everyone involved in making Port of Call New Orleans. I read that on tvtropes some years back. Granted I've said similar sentiments in the past, but I'm a mentally ill nobody on the internet. The heck is your excuse Ferrara? |

Many of the themes are the same as the original, the big differences being a few of the subplots that mostly focus on the location of the story.
The only major difference is one has a "happy" ending.
Also, Abel Ferrera is an idiot. He didn't even see the movie before he decided to comment on it. Like, if it was Roland Emmerich remaking your movie, I'd understand. But Werner Herzog is an excellent film maker.

I should have mentioned this earlier, but I thought that the 2009 version of My Bloody Valentine was decent, if good. I think I liked it better than the 1981 version.

I remember I went to see that in the movies when it came out in 3D and someone threw up in like the first 10 mins of the movie lmao |

But Werner Herzog is an excellent film maker. I almost kinda see his point of view if he felt Herzog's portrayal ultimately glorified the Lieutenent's behavior, and the lack of consequences. But wishing death of everyone involved is childish at best, and sociopathicly petty at worst. |

I prefer the original, but I actually enjoy the Fright Night remake with Anton Yelchin and Colin Farrell.
I adore Cronenberg's Fly remake, too, even though I've never seen the original.
