12 Movie Remakes That Were Better Than the Originals

Most remakes are wholly unnecessary and made only to capitalize off of a beloved first movie, but some manage to be great films in their own rights, and even better than the original. While it feels like movie remakes are a more modern problem, they have been around almost as long as the art form itself. The classic 1931 Boris Karloff Frankenstein was the second adaptation of the book, however, the original Thomas Edison version has been lost to time, so it is impossible to say which version is better.
