What are your top 10 (or 5) film remakes of all?

Film remakes. It's a good enough idea, sometimes. But not often enough do the remakes do any justice to the original...

I think my favorites would be: (remake - original)

1. The Thing (1982) - The Thing (1952)

2. Cape Fear (1991) - Cape Fear (1632)

3. The Fly (1986) - The Fly (1958)

4. Heaven Can Wait (1978) - Here Comes Mr. Jordan (1941)

5. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)

6. The Departed (2006) - Infernal Affairs (2002)

7. The Magnificent Seven (1960) - The Seven Samurai (1954)

8. True Lies (1994) - La Totale! (1991)

9. A Fistful of Dollars (1964) - Yojimbo (1961)

10. Ransom (1996) - Ransom! (1956)

so, what about you guys??
