Top 20 Best Movie Remakes 

Star Wars Universe VS Wizarding World!

Love your content

IM 3RD TO COMMENT ❤😂😂😂

@@mr.fartman nobody asked if you are..your comment is pointless

I think 1988’s The Blob is my favorite remake of a classic horror film.

Choose wisely

All the Bayverse Transformers. Bumblebee was better as a whole!!!!!!

True words. Mad Respect!

So wise

And leave alone films that don’t need it.

It certainly should have made the list!!!

He look like Michael Jackson. The fly thumbnail.

I for one find the 1958 Blob much better than the remake. It was easier to watch without covering my eyes or fast forwarding so much, and the Blob looked more like a blob, instead of look like a living piece of flesh with tentacles. Not to mention, it did not make the Blob look like such a messy eater.

But no one can beat Tim Curry as Peniwise his humor and scarry personality 😊

Agreed

​@@manueltapia1859Pennywise

My guess is it was disqualified since the original wasn't a movie but a TV mini series.

It was mid… original better.

Totally agree! Plus I personally think that the effects still look amazing, but I've always preferred practical effects to CGI!

"instead of something more mainstream and popular"... The Thing has to be the most mainstream and popular remake ever

Those effects hold up to any movie today. Just watching the brief clip made my skin crawl.

@@SHIZZOOM not even close.

The Thing combined Cold War paranoia with fears that would soon evolve with the AIDS crisis!

That's a remake of a remake

@@Jfen79 yeah it is. Still doesn’t change my point. It’s easily the best remake of the original too

@@joelberry3937 I didn't say it did change your point, and I wasn't trying to be confrontational sorry if it seemed that way

Yeah that's exactly what I was saying when he said that. It's one of the greatest films ever.

It was just as good as the original

@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 oh I agree. I think John Wayne would’ve liked Jeff Bridges performance

No, just no…

YUP!!

Exactly!

It was from Peter Jackson, so why the surprise?

@@LeonardoKlotz Jackson's version is SOOOOO BOOOORING, the best parts are when Kong shows up and it's only about 30 mins total in a 3 hour-long movie Visuals are great, but all's wasted when the titular gorilla barely show up in his own movie Imagine a Godzilla movie where the monster only show up very briefly during its runtime... oh wait

@@martinde-serres8724At least one thing Peter Jackson’s King Kong does better than the original is a more fleshed out Anne Durrow. Say what you will about the romance between her and Kong added to the remake, but at least she’s more of a character and less of an annoying damsel in distress that constantly screams in the original.

I really liked it.

​@@martinde-serres8724the 1977 version was better this time placed in that year now King Kong climbing the World Trade Center!!! 😮

But that one was not a remake, but a restart, as proven by Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams making a cameo appearance in the end credits.

The third act honestly ruined it for me, what with being buried alive healing you entire body both from injuries and demonic possession, the idea of a single terminal defibrillator that also acts as an adrenaline shot. The girl then suddenly becoming so OP she was able to rip her hand off from being stuck under a vehicle and over slippery mud, and Bruce Campbell's pathetic cameo (seriously, he deserved WAY better) was a hard no for me.

Michael Mann is the man. :D lol

It should be

Most people don't even realise that The Wizard of Oz is a remake.

Oh yeah, the 1925 version Oz movie

@@ultimatealchemist9401 I been knew that.

@@ultimatealchemist9401 Yes, but WatchMojo definitely should have known.

@@ultimatealchemist9401 Probably because it’s not a remake. The 1939 movie is a different version adapted from the novel.

And James Mason's last scene. So subtle and sad.

Wow, thanks for commenting/replying; didn't know that these were remakes

Thanks for saving time'

@@akshay6027 just to clarify, this is not the list in the video but my personal list

ty

Great list! I forgot Scent of a Woman and Three Men and a Baby were remakes of foreign(?) flicks. (I, also, from video did NOT know True Lies was a remake (foreign flick too). Little Shop of Horrors! Great call. You reminded me of a little seen (it sure seems) musical remake of Reefer Madness. If you haven't seen it check it out. It does a great job of spoofing all the inaccuracies of the original's propaganda scare against marijuana use. All said. Gotta mention you didn't have The Fly, The Thing or King Kong (2005) on your list. C'mon. Just keeping it real but do you 'just to be different' much? And you didn't put Wizard of Oz, Maltese Falcon (although I think Maltese is overrated) or--my own thought--The Mask of Zorro (1940, Tyrone Power Jr, Linda Darnell ... Is it worth mentioning Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta Jones version?) on the list. The original silent movie Zorro (1920) starred Douglass Fairbanks. I need to see Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (at number 2) again! You must be a Steve Martin fan ... but at least The Pink Panther remake is nowhere to be seen lol. I saw Del Toro's Nightmare Alley. Dark noir for sure. Another viewing necessary 👍

Tell me about it I thought it would make the list the remake made the blob more aggressive and powerful... also it showed it's merciless killing of victims.

Do you like Scarface with AL Pacino? That's a remake too, believe it or not

@@wolfgangamadeusmozart1293 Well of course I love the remake version of ‘Scarface.’ 😏

The Thing From Another World (is the actual name of the original Howard Hawks movie. Christian Nyby was credited as director) just saying.

Totally agree with you. What did you did you think of the Winnie the Pooh blood and honey movie.

Beauty and The Beast was also really good.

No. The Jungle Book remake was awful. It completely missed the point of the story. Especially the ending.

They set us up for disappointment with the others. Cinderella was very cute! I think because they pretty much stuck to the story.

And what about The Lion King?

I also love the dawn of the dead remake

It wasn't bad, but it lacked soul and excellent acting.

That’s why it won best supporting actress.

I actually plan to go into the film industry and fix that.

@@Supasmartguy Yeah? Me too

And stupidity

@@LeonardoKlotz I'm actually currently taking some classes about writing at a community college in hopes of eventually transferring to film School.

@@Supasmartguy okay, I believe you I make short films too

That still fits the definition of a remake.

Directed by Martin Scorsese

Masterpiece with Robert DeNiro 👌

I don't care for the '61 version, but I do Lve the remake with Lindsay Lohan, though. Instead of the original "The Parent Trap," just give me the 1998 remake of "The Parent Trap" any day of the week!

good choice

Well it's certainly not a favourite to anyone else

@@16shogunelitegreen It’s not supposed to be. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

@@abellewis3062only supposed to be yours huh lol movie sucks bro 😂

@@lilchewy6477 Ok. That’s your opinion.

Well it surely wasn't anyone elses favourite

Not really. Most remakes are based on popular movies.

Not a remake, a restart of the franchise.

The 2000 film wasn't universally beloved.

I'm trying to forget "Gone in 60 seconds"" altogether.

Nathan lane is dementially funny!!!

The King Kong of 1976 even was original this time he was climbing the World Trade Center!! And the robotic arm they used with real hair looked better than the 2005 😊

Dune is more of another adaptation to the book than a remake.

No.

it sucked

Disqualified because the 1990 version is not a movie but a TV mini series.

It's technically not a remake of the film but adapted from the book.

The magnificent 7 did that...I'm surprised they didnt mention it

The thumbnail: Michael Jackson.

@@nehemiahpouncey3607 ?

But not nearly as praised or iconic as neither the original nor the Jackson epic.

Harry Cooper was honestly a worser character than Barbara.

@@hunterolaughlin Harry was supposed to be an unlikable character, though. Barbara is supposed to be one of the leads, but is just awful in the original. She does nothing except scream and faint. Harry is an asshole, sure, but he's also the antagonist in a sense. We're not supposed to like him.
