Rank and/or rate these remakes and re-adaptations that were originally filmed in the 1950's. Are any better than the 1950's version?
Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers (1978)
The Thing (1982)
The Fly (1986)
Invaders from Mars (1986)
The Blob (1988)
War Of The Worlds (2005)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers (1978)
7/10, good remake, almost classic in its own right.
The Thing (1982)
-- Good, but I haven't watched in many years.
The Fly (1986)
- 9/10, groundbreaking classic in its own right.
Invaders from Mars (1986)
-- never saw it.
The Blob (1988)
-- 6/10, I had some problems with it, like the origin of the Blob for instance.
War Of The Worlds (2005)
- 7/10, I liked the fact that it didn't really attempt to recreate the '53 movie and avoided the by now cliched shots of major cities/landmarks being destroyed. The Martin machines were terrifying.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)
- It had some good ideas, but overall fairly mediocre. 5/10.

The Thing 10/10
The Fly 9/10
The rest are pretty much crap.

None of them, although the '78 BODY SNATCHERS comes close.
