There's a bunch of horror movie remakes that I love, but ultimately, I still like most of the originals better. It seems that only the very best horror movies get remade. I have low expectations for the My Bloody Valentine remake, though. The original is probably the most underappreciated 80s slasher movie. Anyway, a list for list's sake

The Fly(50s)<The Fly(80s)
Night of the Living Dead(60s)>Night of the Living Dead(90s)
Dawn of the Dead(70s)>Dawn of the Dead(00s)
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(70s)>The Texas Chainsaw Massacre(00s)
The Hills Have Eyes(70s)>The Hills Have Eyes(00s)
2001 Maniacs>Two Thousand Maniacs!
I Am Legend(07)>The Omega Man(although, technically not remake, but a readaptation)
Rear Window>Disturbia... oh wait, that doesn't count, does it?

Are we counting foreign language adaptations?
Funny Games(Austria)=Funny Games(US)
The Departed>>Infernal Affairs
The Ring(Japan)=The Ring(US) (Both suck)
The Grudge(Japan)=The Grudge(US) (Ditto)

Bedazzled (2000) > Bedazzled (1970?)

Then again I never saw the old version, so I'm unqualified, but I laughed so hard at the 2000 movie lol. Especially this scene rofl:
