The new remake of Arthur sucks.That movie is so bad it’s not even funny.Dudley Moore really made Arthur 1 and 2 into a great movie.

Probably Walter Matthau’s best... I always liked him better in drama roles than comedy spiel...

The 1995 mini-series remake of Pride and Prejudice is possibly my favorite movie of all time.

Ok, well if you like it, I highly recommend you check out some of that director Wes Anderson’s other films, they are all excellent, but Rushmore, the Royal Tenenbaums, and the Life Aquatic are my favorites.

I am unsure if another movie adaptation of a famous novel is really a movie “remake”. Unless they took the screenplay and remade it.
If it was written to be a movie - it was a movie - then a decade or more later they decide to re-make the movie - THAT is a remake.
A different adaptation of a beloved novel - not so much.
As to those citing SEQUELS - well what can be said about being unclear on the concept?

The Thing (1951, 1982)
The remake was a bit of a yawner.

Every Billy Jack movie was a classic.

And, for a truly bad movie: “Highlander 2: The Quickening”

I loved the remake of Fright Night.
Other than that, I can agree with your list, for the movies I’ve seen.
To: EveningStar
“The Producers”, I will only watch the original.

I can’t believe that nobody has mentioned the re-make of “Planet of the Apes”

House on Haunted Hill remake Vincent Price can never be copied!
Amityville Horror first one with Mr. Barbra Striesnand was decent the second one was worse

Every Billy Jack movie was a classic.I preferred Paul Simon's "Billy Paul" (not based on the "Me and Mrs. Jones singer)

Actually, The Planet of the Apes remake wasn’t too horribly bad if you forgot it was a remake.
Poseidon stank on ice.
The all black version of Death at a Funeral was just a shame.
Around the World in 80 Days. Eck.
Halloween. Why bother.
Rollerball. No. Just no.

If they ever did remake “Roman Holiday” they would turn it from a love story to a “happy ending” with her running away to be a reporter or something.

Don’t forget Denzel’s “The Manchurian Candidate” remake, that should have been on the list.

You're right. Another movie adaptation of a famous novel should probably not be considered a remake.
OK, here are a couple of remakes where the remake is better in many ways than the original, but the original still has good qualities that the remakes have lost. I like to watch both the original and the remake because I get different things from them.
The Man Who Knew Too Much
and
The Ring (Ringu)

Not a remake but a spoof - and a very funny movie.
Check out “The Man Who Knew Too Little” with Bill Murray.
