If it isn’t a superhero movie, the chances are that everything else playing in the multiplex is a remake, whether it’s another horror remake or an attempt to dust off an old franchise. There are even movies that general audiences never even knew were remakes.

For better or worse, Hollywood often regurgitates the same movies, sometimes more than once, and these movies have had varying degrees of success amongst audiences.

Best: A Star Is Born (7.6)

A Star Is Born has had a lot of remakes, but the 2018 version became a phenomenon, as it drew in audiences for months and earned more than $430 million worldwide.

The movie is most loved for its use of the song “Shallow,” which has quickly become a karaoke staple and depending on who you ask, that can be either a good or bad thing. And needless to say, with Lady Gaga’s talent in the movie, it’s one of the best performances by a musician in a film.

Worst: Oldboy (5.7)

Though the original South Korean Oldboy is a beloved classic, and though the remake was helmed by none other than Spike Lee, it didn’t end well. The 2013 movie was criticized for being a shallow remake that played it too safe for American audiences.

Another issue was maybe down to the final cut, as Spike Lee’s edit came to 140 minutes, but the studio cut out a whole 35 minutes. If half an hour is cut from a movie, there’s clearly going to be some issues with the narrative and pacing.

Best: True Grit (7.6)

True Grit Remake Duo Concerned

The Coen Bros. take on the Western classic was nominated for 10 Oscars and featured the breakthrough role of the amazing Hailee Steinfeld, but the movie was praised, more than anything, for being faithful to the novel, which is what makes it one of the few remakes that’s better than the original.

Though the original has such an outstanding cast that includes John Wayne, Robert Duvall, and Dennis Hopper, among others, the Coen brothers pull no punches either, as the remake features Jeff Brolin, Matt Damon, and Jeff Bridges.

Worst: The Mummy (5.4)

With the reboot of the classic family adventure movie setting up the Dark Universe, which was set to include the movies The Wolfman and Jekyll And Hyde, there were big expectations for this movie. However, the Tom Cruise vehicle was despised by audiences, and not only was it one of the most expensive box office bombs of all time, but it singlehandedly managed to destroy the Dark Universe before it even started.

The best thing that came from The Mummy is Tom Cruise’s weird scream that can be heard in the trailer and was, of course, memed to death.

Best: Little Women (7.8)

Timothee Chalamet in Little Women

There have been several movie adaptations of Little Women dating all the way back to 1918 with a silent film, but Greta Gerwig’s remake of the age-old story was quickly named one of the best period romances for good reason, and it may be the best on-screen version of Little Women yet.

The movie is loved for its performances, from Saoirse Ronan to Emma Watson, and Gerwig was controversially snubbed at the Oscars, which led many to complain about the Academy’s sexism.

Worst: Piranha 3D (5.4)

Being one of the most schlocky B-movies ever made and being one of the many cheap imitations of Jaws, the original Piranha from 1978 wasn’t really any good in the first place, but the modern retelling is somehow even worse.

Though the original has reached somewhat of a cult status, the same won’t happen for Piranha 3D, as its gimmick of being 3D didn’t fool audiences. Surprisingly enough, it was actually very well received by critics.

Best: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (7.8)

Director David Fincher and lead actress Rooney Mara reportedly didn’t even watch the original The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, as they wanted to focus more on the source material and not subconsciously remake the Swedish version.

The end result is a movie you definitely shouldn’t watch with your parents, but a perfectly Fincher-esque crime thriller that’s shot beautifully, with the iciest score from Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Worst: Point Break (5.3)

There’s already a great remake of Point Break and it’s called The Fast and the Furious, as both movies follow an undercover cop who is investigating a crime ring that operates within an extreme sport.

But when Warner Bros took it upon themselves to remake the surfing classic, they seemed to forget what made the original so great, as they mistakingly upped the ante on the extreme sports instead of exploring the relationship between the main characters.

Best: Django Unchained (8.4)

Jamie Foxx as Django in Django Unchained

It could be argued that Django Unchained isn’t necessarily a sequel, as it flips everything about the original on its head and subverted many Western tropes, but Quentin Tarantino’s modern classic’s name comes from the 1966 Italian Western.

The movie is often argued to be Tarantino’s best and earned him his second Academy Award for Best Screenplay. The star of the original, Franco Nero, even has a cameo appearance when Django and Schultz first visit Calvin Candie.

Worst: Nightmare On Elm Street (5.2)

Freddy Kruger in A Nightmare On Elm Street 2010

Though his appearance and being type-cast to creepy roles made Jackie Earle Haley the perfect candidate to replace Robert England as Freddy Kruger, the movie fell flat on its face.

Though it was through no fault of Haley’s, the movie was despised due to the fact that it only cared about jump scares and lacked the depth that the original (and even it’s sequels) had. Even England criticized the Nightmare On Elm Street remake for its terrible make-up and effects.
