Can remakes of classic films ever be better?

Yes Godzilla first movie was japanese and in it work American movie actor Raymond Burr. Effect not so good as new movie because long time to go but story better and seem more scary.

If anyone ever tries to remake Singin' In The Rain, they will have me to answer to!!

 

Re: Gone With the Wind - NOBODY could play Rhett Butler like Clark Gable did. I hope they never try!

 

Some remakes are very ill-advised, but occasionally the remake can be better than the original. True Grit for instance - I far preferred the version with Jeff Bridges than the one with John Wayne - although technically that wasn't a remake; just another adaptation of the book by Charles Portis.

 

Also Scarface with Al Pacino was a remake which was better than the original.
