Top 10 Movie Remakes

A movie remake can occur with the intention of bringing the film's contents to a new audience by changing the language, improving on the original due to technological advances or just wanting to see a new take with different actors but they often just come across as lazy. However, every once in a while they strike gold. Here's The Firewall's Top 10 Movie Remakes.

Only one I’ve seen the original of here is the fly.
Remake is slighly better though.

13 assassins might be the best Takeshi Miike movie I’ve seen. Haven’t seen the original though.
