The Omen (1976) & The Omen (2006) You have actually mentioned a rare example of a remake and original that I dislike equally. No love for the original? |

You have actually mentioned a rare example of a remake and original that I dislike equally. No love for the original? Nope. I guess I will give the original the slight edge just because it is original and has higher highs and not as low of lows, but there are things I like better in the remake. I like the art direction better in the remake, I like a couple of the performances better in the remake and I think the remake is creepier overall. The original only has a couple scenes I actually think are effective. The suicide scene, The zoo scene and the discovery of the dog mother. I also like the performance from the kid and Jerry Goldsmith's score obviously. I am indifferent to pretty much everything else about the movie. I rate both 5/10. |

Halloween (1978) and Halloween (2007) Lost Horizon (1937) and Lost Horizon (1973) King Kong (1933) and King Kong (1976) Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936) and Mr. Deeds (2002) Planet of the Apes (1968) and Planet of the Apes (2001)
I am having a hard time arguing against this choice. I considered listing Halloween (2007) as well. |

The Omen (1976) & The Omen (2006) I thought the 2006 one was ok at best. The thing I really disliked about it the most was the kid they got to play Damien, who didn't have a shred of the talent that Harvey Stephens had. |

Are you arguing that a movie can't be a sequel and a remake at the same time? I know that THE THING 2011 re-cycles the plot to the point where it feels like a remake (t's almost like THE HANGOVER PART II minus the self-awareness). However, a movie can't be both things like you suggested. One takes place in the same continuity as the original; the other one doesn't. One has the same cast; the other one doesn't. They obviously can be to the user who said it. He just sees it differently than you and there are very few things the movie would need to change in order to be a remake and not a prequel. The fact the the movie was originally suppose to be a direct remake of the 1982 movie makes it feel even more like a remake than a prequel imo. the director convinced the studio to let him make a "prequel," instead of a remake. |

If it counts, I think I have the ultimate choice: Casablanca and Barb Wire.

2002 or 2013? They obviously can be to the user who said it. He just sees it differently than you That's like saying that THE LAST JEDI isn't canon just because a bunch of people signed a petition. very few things the movie would need to change in order to be a remake and not a prequel. True, but the final result is a prequel. I know it's just a poll for fun, but I still want to adhere to the rules set by the O.P. |

2002 or 2013? Carrie 2013 is a terrible and unnecessary remake. |

I agree that it isn't a remake, but the other user clearly sees it as a remake and that is HIS decision. Or he is just taking a jab at the movie and messing with you at the same time. |

The Poltergeist remake is a good suggestion. I love the original, it has a nostalgic, Spielbergian 80's charm, and has some genuinely unsettling moments. The POS remake encapsulates a lot of what's wrong with modern horror movies.

Malick's remake of The Thin Red Line is vastly superior to the original. The same can be said of Huston's remake of The Maltese Falcon. For Malick's remake to be superior the original would literally have to cause me to commit suicide via stabbing forks in my eyes. I'll avoid checking it out. |
