Best original movies you never watched?

[g_wizkid]

Guys, I'm looking to compile of about 20 movies for a work event that list of the best original non horror movies that have modern remakes.

To give a couple of ideas:
Old Boy
Taxi (98 Luc Besson version)

Any favorites or just good movie titles appreciated.

Can only think of a few off the top of my head, but there's a huge list here :

[Jokah]

Pulp fiction
Reservoir dogs
One flew over the cuckoo's nest
I saw the devil
Pan's Labyrinth
City of God

Small varied selection for you there off the top of my head.

Was there a modern remake of Reservoir Dogs?

Musta missed that... any good? I doubt.

I'm sure all those are movies that shouldn't be remade.
Masterpieces that would be ruined by anyone attempting to make them better.

The only one I can think of is Scarface.

Some crackers here though -

Don't think any on that list have remakes.

Tinker, tailor, soldier, spy.
Battle Royale, piss poorly remade as The Hunger Games
The Raid Redemption, piss poorly remade as Judge Dredd
Robocop

Cape Fear
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels is a remake of a film called Bedtime Story

Requiem for a Dream

Assault on Precinct 13 had a rubbish modern remake. The Carpenter version was actually inspired by Rio Bravo as well.
3:10 to Yuma
Pusher had a British remake
The Day the Earth Stood Still
True Lies was a remake of a French film Le Totale
Disturbia (Rear Window)
Insomnia


Reservoir Dogs was kind of a remake of City on Fire, a Chinese/Hong Kong film but I don't think Jokah has really grasped the intention of the thread.

I could have sworn "that have modern remakes" was not at the end of that original sentence. Oh well. My bad. I was thinking of originals that didn't have remakes! But then why would the OP have posted Oldboy. Either way I feel like an idiot now.

I'll throw Infernal affairs in there (The departed) to try and redeem myself.

Bad Lieutenant
Get Carter
Robocop - I know it's been mentioned but I'll second the motion!
Total Recall

I found this list already, but just couldn't be hacked going through them all.


Cheers fellas, a few for me to chose from there.
