Cinefix is a pretty cool film-oriented youtube channel and they usually put out quality material, figured I'd make the first thread about them on here. I thought this list was interesting in that a few of these I didn't even know were remakes, and also because the idea of a remake usually gets a bad rap, so having a positive thread about them is a decent change of pace.
FYI, their lists aren't the usual stuff. Each position is not just a ranking, but a category unto itself. They also name countless honorary mentions throughout their videos, in case you're annoyed something in particular didn't make it in.
5.- Shot-for-shot - Funny Games & Funny Games
4.- Upgrade - LA Takedown & Heat
3.- Same Story, Different Interpretation - Nosferatu & Nosferatu: The Vampyre
2.- Same Premise, New Direction - The Thing From Another World & The Thing
1.- Just the Seed of the Idea - La Jetee & 12 Monkeys
What are your favorite remakes?
