30 Best Movie Remakes (and Reboots) of the Past 30 Years
Hollywood may be in love with remakes, but critics don't usually share those warm feelings. Nevertheless, revisiting an old property can sometimes prove fruitful, and not just commercially. In the gallery above, you'll find the best-reviewed remakes and franchise reboots of the past three decades, ranked by Metascore. (Note that a movie must have at least 7 reviews from professional critics to be eligible.)
Original: True Grit (1969), directed by Henry Hathaway
Charles Portis' 1968 novel was originally adapted shortly after publication into a John Wayne western, which earned the star an Oscar. The Coen brothers' even better 2010 take on the story is a bit more faithful to the book, focusing less on the Rooster Cogburn character (now played by Jeff Bridges) and more on the young girl Mattie (Hailee Steinfeld) at the center of Portis' novel.
