Best - 'Charlie ... Tim Burton's 2005 remake of the original classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was an unusual take on a childhood favorite. Johnny Depp's portrayal of Willy Wonka and Burton's visionary direction made the modernized version an instant hit. (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Best - 'The Ital... 2003's reboot of the 1969 action flick delivered all the excitement of the original heist movie plus few explosions to the big screen. (Photo: Paramount)
Best - 'The Depa... A remake of the Hong Kong action thriller "Infernal Affairs", "The Departed" pairs director Martin Scorsese with an all-star cast. (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Best - 'The Magn... Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa's "The Seven Samurai" (1954) gets a reboot in this much-loved western. (Photo: United Artists)
Best - 'Casino R... Daniel Craig re-invented the 007 role that David Niven originally made famous with extremely steamy results. (Photo: United Artists)
Best - 'Cape Fea... It's tough to choose which version of this film is best, but no one plays a tattooed psychopath like Robert De Niro. (Photo: Universal)
Best - 'Ocean's ... Which do you prefer: The Rat Pack or The Pitt Pack? (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Best - 'The Thom... A good remake of a great film, yes. But in the end, there is only one Steve McQueen. (Photo: MGM)
Best - 'The Manc... Creating an update of this 1962 commentary on the cold war was no easy task, but Jonathan Demme and a star-studded cast met the challenge. (Photo: Paramount)
Worst - 'The Tak... Director Tony Scott took the story, but left the commas behind. He should have considered leaving the entire thing well enough alone. (Photo: Sony Pictures)
Worst - 'The Wom... "The Women" in its original 1939 form is a Joan Crawford classic. It's "Sex-and-City-fied" remake ends up feeling heavy-handed and forced. A better title would have been "The Woe-men." (Photo: Picturehouse)
Worst - 'Hallowe... For such a huge horror fan, Rob Zombie did a frighteningly bad job of remaking "Halloween." (Photo: Dimension Films)
Worst - 'Psycho' Sorry Vince. Blank expression and pale complexion do not a psychopath make. Better luck next time. (Photo: Universal)
Worst - 'Planet ... From "Room with a View" to "Planet of the Apes?" It's a stretch even for Helena Bonham Carter. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Worst - 'Poseido... There are a few movies that just don't make any sense without their original campy context. "The Poseidon Adventure" is one of those movies. (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Worst - 'Hairspr... "Hairspray" is another one of those movies. It just isn't the same without John Waters' flamboyant vision. Plus, John Travolta is anything but Divine. (Photo: New Line Cinema)
Worst - 'The Inv... The only believable thing in "The Invasion" is Nicole Kidman as a person whose body has been inhabited by beings from outer space. Oh wait, that's her ex-husband. (Photo: Warner Brothers)
Worst - 'Shutter... Joshua Jackson should have stayed in Capeside and left this horror revamp back in Thailand where it was scary. (Photo: 20th Century Fox)
Worst - 'Swept A... As a rule of thumb, Guy Ritchie should stick to projects that involve missing teeth or Cockney accent. His now ex-wife's oddly spaced teeth and feeble attempt at an English accent just missed the mark. (Photo: Columbia)
