The Thing (1982) comes to mind, also happens to be my favorite horror-scifi film.

yeah, there are a few but they are few and far between. Cronenberg is a god mind!

Speaking of Cronenberg, The Fly (1986) is better than the original film too.

Been hearing for years that a remake is in the works. With today's CGI and a good director and cast, could be an epic remake, again.

The director of the original �the thing� hates the remake. But I love it, the effects are incredible. Much better than the CGI used in the prequel.

Should've stuck with the practical effects with the prequal, Stupid movie studio.

The fly is a film I prefer to the Thing if I am honest.

The Fly is Jeff Goldblum and David Cronenberg greatness. It's a masterpiece.

Geena Davis is good in it, too. It should never be remade.

I�d love to see this done if only for the uproar over the sexual storylines (the masturbation, underage sex, the pregnancy and abortion�), and whether or not the film�s makers would cave or tell the Internet avengers to **** off.

remakes CAN work sometimes, The Thing, Scarface, Cruel Intentions, Oceans 11, The Departed, True Grit, Cape Fear, Heat... all remakes, all as good as if not better than the original so I say if you're gonna remake em (as Hollywood does) just do it well!

The True Grit remake was deplorable.

Worst Texas accents, ever.

^^^Jeff Bridges should never do accents. I remember my ears bleeding as I watched Seventh Son.

I liked that Hailee Steinfeld was the age of the character, 14. Kim Darby was 22 in the John Wayne version. It�s not a huge deal or anything but I appreciated it.

Definitely Jaws. They'd **** that up badly.

I think a Breakfast Club remake could be interesting in the hands of a good director.

And while not a remake, The Exorcist is getting the Halloween treatment next, with the same director and everying - A distant sequel to the original acting like the other sequels never happened.

I think the best remakes are the ones that really try to put their own unique spin on the premise, rather than just doing the same movie again, and inevitably worse.
