I think the first remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" captures the power and terror of the original and adds a bit of humor, as well. The later remake, simply called "Body Snatchers" is a waste of time.

The "A Star is Born" remake from 1954 is successful as well (but not the horrible 1970's version).

Scorcese's "Cape Fear" remake was not bad, esapecially in his re-use of the Herrman music.

The fifties remake of "Back Street" with Susan Heyward is a successful attempt.

It'll be intersting to see how Peter Jackson's "King Kong" turns out.
