can't think of any remakes that surpass the originals.

Not many just aslong as a remake is not done to metroplis citizen kane chariots of fire mary poppins sound of music once upon of time in the west westworld stand by me the abyss zulu blade runner unforgiven crimson tide good bad and ugly as well as a few others

The thing was better than the thing from outer space

Scarface also was a good remake

The fly another good remake, I also thought the blob was better than the original

Controversially - The Italian Job. Yes the heist is superb.... But I found the hour or so before that utterly tedious. Was very disappointed.

old ppl

The remake is fantastic, starts with a bang, then settles in with the planing of how to get the gold back, with plenty of comedy and tension. And the final 'job' is superbly done. One of the few remakes that for me is better

And technically Heat is a remake of a tv film also by Michael Mann called LA Takedown, which he made as a cut down lower budget version before he could get the backing to make it in full,

The Fly is a good remake, but I'd not call it better, just different. The original is just as good, and has a better ending...really creepy
