What is your favorite movie remake?

Example:
Race to Witch Mountain
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1075417/
It isn't really a remake. More like a sequel; either way, Tia (Kim Richards) and Tony (Ike Eisenmann) are making a cameo in the movie

1941's "The Maltese Falcon," one of the greatest movies ever made, was actually the 3rd film adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's novel and therefore counts as a remake.

The first one was also called "Maltese Falcon" and came out in 1931, and the second was titled "Satan Met a Lady," and featured a young Bette Davis.

Just goes to show, though people claim today's Hollywood is "out of ideas," remakes have pretty much always been a part of the film business.

Ok, I like cheesy romance films, and Titanic takes the cake for me. Definitely better than the other versions out, but still has the cheese factor.

I have to resist listing all great remakes: Sabrina, Body Snatchers / The Invasion, Man on Fire, etc... It would take too much deep thought to actually come up with THE best remake, so I will say that "3:10 to Yuma" was surprisingly excellent.
