America has never done a remake of a foreign film or tv series that improved on the original

Prove me wrong

Protip: you cannot do this, try as you might

The Departed

Yep.

/thread

Oldboy (both were still shit)

The Ring

I'll have to think about this one for a bit.

I suppose Hitchcock did some good American remakes of his own earlier British films.

Shameless

...

That one, right. Not sure if it improved on it, but it was good.

City of Angels

Wilfred

The Bourne Identity

Did he cast his own daughter as his lover?

I'll give you that
I hope you're joking

Vice versa, working on this gave him yellow fever.

Literally no

Jungle 2 Jungle

Old Boy

The office
Shameless
The Ring

The Birdcage

>joking
Remake had better pacing, effects and was scarier.

The office

both wrong

>office
Please kill youself

US office is so objectively better, it's not even up for debate

Brick Mansions

It's close.

Solaris

We do everything better. It's the reason you're posting on the American remake of a Japanese image board.

Fucking hell that movie is awesome

The Dark Knight Returns.

Funny Games

This

Really?

I always thought it had the coolest looking name and poster and then it was just the dullest movie. Such a letdown.

...

I'd say The Ring, because it had a bigger budget compared to the original they effects looked better(And the original has an anime-tier backstory)

Honestly, I never saw the point of remaking a movie less than five years after its release because the dumb Americans don't like foreigners and subtitles.

A lot of people have told me both. I guess it hit me at the right time (watching all of Roy Scheiders stuff and being super into William Friedkin at the same time). It's definitely worth watching the original along with it

you have to be retarded if you really think this.
there is so much wrong in this movie, i even think scorsese didn't understand the original. and i fucking hate dicaprio as actor, he's blatan and shit. most overrated actor ever existing

The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

I liked Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon tattoo better then the original series

It's essentially just a shot for shot remake without the late superior 90's aesthetic.

They should probably just make the movies in English to begin with. Would save a lot of time and energy

Would you consider Dredd a remake of The Raid?

No you retard

Ok...

This. Was way better then Swedish version. Daniel Craig was great.

As said, The Departed.

Also, motherfucking True Lies.

The Departed... Daddy like

anything with michael scott character was good. after that who gives a shit

In Treatment, nigger

David Brent > Michael Scott

That being said, the u.s. office is better by virtue of having more than what 13 episodes?

Get fucked

Speed Racer

...

Everyone here wishes they were Woody.

no

Why do they wear the Hillary arrows?

Wilfred

Op your premise is torn to shit

Chloe was better than Nathalie

I did it. I did the thing you said couldn't be done.

I DID THE THING!

Shut up Amanda. Go fuck your dog.

Magnificent Seven

This was a case study in taking an interesting premise and then changing course where it went full retard originally.

It started out with small alterations. There was no absurd pedophile witch hunt episode. The fight with the ghost's fiance was over a lost ring, which actually made sense compared to underwear (??)

Then instead of a ghost from the future encouraging them to explode a baby to prevent a vampire nazi world regime, they did a story about an alternate present where vampires and werewolves were in open gang warfare and the two leads hated each other

Then instead of KILLING OFF AND REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUCKING CAST they... didn't.

As a bonus we never once had to look at Russell Tovey's face or hear him screech like Pepe when he transformed.

The bridge

No

this

you're joking

godzilla 2014

i think i love my wife

Worst suggestion of all time

In the case of Dragon Tattoo it was because the movie was mad for tv shit that nobody watches even when it was on Netflix

House of Cards

Homeland, you fucking mongs

Sanford & Son > Steptoe & Son

How could anyone not like Redd Foxx? inb4 racism
