A good solid remake of the original.
Not something that you hear often.
shareAgreed. The number of remakes that even begin to match the original are few and far between.
Some remakes that work:
The Thomas Crown Affair
The Thing
Magnificent Seven (as a remake of Seven Samurai)
Scarface
Ocean's 11
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Heaven Can Wait (as a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan)
The Italian Job
True Grit
No Way Out (as a remake of The Big Clock)
The Fly
Miller's Crossing (as a remake of The Glass Key)
and, of course, 3:10 to Yuma
