Grim Prairie Tales
The Keep

It's been about a thousand years since I saw Grim Prairie Tales but I remember really enjoying it, a long lost gem.
The Keep is shit. But it's very good shit and i'd love to see someone give it the bells and whistles treatment. Or any bloody treatment for that matter. Damn film is on Netflix for goodness sake, why can no one get a disc out. Hell I first watched it (in HD no less) on soddin youtube.

Some of these are not 'official' remakes but I feel they count. Assault on precinct 13 is an unofficial remake of rio bravo for example....True Grit gets a nod for better casting, especially hiring someone not as one dimensional as John Wayne.

Is that a list of your favourite or highly ranked remakes, or films you think are superior to the originals?

Ranked remakes. It has nothing to do with the original films. Nowhere in the topic for the week did it mention remakes being better than the originals.

I know – I was just asking! Are there many, if any, which you do consider superior to the original films?
