A lot of people complain about remakes but don't realize that what they consider to be the classic version of some movie IS a *remake.* The Maltese Falcon with Bogart and The Wizard of Oz with Judy Garland are not the first time those movies were made. Disney's Snow White, Pinocchio and Alice In Wonderland were all remakes-- but those Disney characters are the icons that pop into your brain when you think of the definitive version of each title.
Other "good remakes" IMO-- Invasion of The Body Snatchers, Gaslight, Last of the Mohicans, and the new King Kong.

I hope you're talking about the second Invasion of the Body Snatchers? The third had its moments, but the Sutherland vehicle rules.
Last of the Mohicans, which I thought I'd totally hate, was wonderful. The acting, cinematography, music, sound, Mann's directing style, and story made this an unforgetable historical epic..
