Remakes better than originals

Pictoris
An old proverb says that the remakes are rarely as good as the originals. Rarely. But, the following titles are all remakes with better ratings than the original movies.

In your opinion, which one is the best remake? (not necessarily the best movie)

Discuss here!

And thank you to jalapenoman, Dibyayan_Chakravorty, misspaddylee, ElMaruecan82 and sarizonana for their suggestions!
