An aggregate, unranked list of the 200 best movie Remakes. Ever. Period. The titles may change, but the song remains the same. And the titles don't change that often either. We try to avoid reboots (like almost every superhero movie) and new versions of classic stories (Robin Hood, The Three Musketeers, etc.).

This John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart Western has been reimagined as “an urban crime/thriller in the vein of The Departed, The Town and Mystic River.” The outlaws from the original have been recast as Polish gangsters. Yup. Moving on…
Over two years since McG was appointed as director of the new Masters of the Universefilm, we finally have concrete newsthat the movie is actually going to happen… with Aaron and Adam Nee directing. Sony has confirmed a release date for the movie, and we can expect it on March 5, 2021. Only Noah Centineo is so far cast in the role of He-Man, but we...
The film that launched Christopher Nolan’s career, Memento, is getting remade. Seemingly, the mighty Mr. Nolan is not involved at all. It’s fair to say that the groundswell of online commenters weren’t very pleased when this news was announced. It is (or was?) AMBI Pictures who are bankrolling the remake, and they have also bought the rights to Cru...
New Line continues with its plan to reboot the Mortal Kombat movies, and it’s recruited James Wan–director of The Conjuring and Fast & Furious 7–to produce the new movie. The project is being directed by first-timer Simon McQuoid and is set to star Ludi Lin as Liu Kang, Tadanobu Asano as Raiden, and Jessica McNamee as Sonya Blade. The movie is due ...
Underrated movie Mulan, one that’s often overlooked when the Walt Disney Animation Studios output of the late 1990s is quickly, and unfairly written off. But now it’s getting its time in the sun again. Disney’s series of live-action remakes continues to unfold with great expediency. Liu Yifei will be playing the girl who saved an empire after a mon...
There was recent movement in this decade to reboot The Naked Gun in the vein of the recentVacationredo, which was more of a follow-up about the next generation starring Ed Helms. Indeed, Helms was previously attached to this remake but has since fallen out. Yet producer David Zucker promised as recently in 2018 that movement on a reboot is on. He e...
A second attempt to reboot the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series has been put into development by New Line. Following the underwhelming 2010 version, which saw Jackie Earle Haley take over the role of Freddy Krueger from Robert Englund, New Line opted not to press ahead with a sequel. Most recently writer and producer David Leslie Johnson-McGol...
Another Disney+ priority for the Mouse after consuming the Fox, there is not a lot known currently other than this will reboot (or loosely continue?) the 20th Century Fox produced Night at the Museummovies. The original trilogy was directed by Shawn Levy and of course starred Ben Stiller as a down-on-his-luck security guard recently hired by the Na...
Thom Eberhardt’s 1984 cult classic is heading for a remake with Roxanne Benjamin (Body at Brighton Rock) writing a screenplay for Orion Pictures. The original told the story of two sisters (played by Kelli Maroney and Catherine Mary Stewart) who battled cannibal zombies after an exctinction event, and the film went on to have a big influence on Jos...
The classic 1922 horror is being reworked by Studio 8, which previously hired Robert Eggers to write and direct its new take. Initially he cast his Witch leading lady, Anya Taylor-Joy, to play a lead role in the film but the movie has since apparently hit a wall. We spoke with Eggers about the project in October 2019 and he said “it would be a real...
- 'The Thing' (1982) Although acknowledged as a sci-fi classic of its time, 1951’s The Thing From Another World was heavily restricted by its lack of technology of the era.
- 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939) When fans think of The Wizard of Oz, the 1939 version directed by Victor Fleming is likely the first movie to come to mind.
- 'Scarface' (1983) Believe it or not, Brian De Palma's iconic 1983 crime movie Scarface wasn't the first iteration of the epic story. It's actually a loose remake of director Howard Hawks' 1983 movie, which has the same title and basic plot.
- 'Dune' (2021) Heralded as a landmark science fiction novel, adapting Frank Herbert’s Dune is a gargantuan task, but it is surprisingly among the movies that have been remade more than once.
- The Thing. We're saying it right here in no uncertain terms - The Thing is absolutely the best remake of all time. It might be one of the best horror films of all time.
- 12 Monkeys. Taken from the short film La Jetée, this movie continues to be the most lucrative Terry Gilliam film ever made. And in what seems like a rare planetary alignment, it somehow stars Bruce Willis at his height of action fame -- having just come off the third Die Hard.
- The Mummy. The five-year journey of how The Mummy came to be involved multiple potential directors including, but not limited to, Clive Barker, Wes Craven, and George A. Romero.
- The Wizard of Oz. A weird perspective on what is now considered one of the best films ever made: at the time, The Wizard Of Oz was one of several adaptations of the book made during the 20s and 30s.
