Best remake - and about the only one I really like - The Thing - the John Carpenter version. Not that the original was shabby.

Best orginal--The Thing, Howard Hawks' version (1951) with James Arness as the monster. I saw it when I was about 9 yrs old and became imprinted.

Best original--The Thing, Howard Hawks' version...

I agree - I saw it not too long ago. The dialogue was brilliant.
