I havent seen it but a lot of people really liked Charlie and the Chocolate Factor. You really have to eliminate the not so good ones when it comes to remakes, but hey thats pretty much with any type of film

charlie and the chocolate factory looks rubbish and people i know who saw it said it sucked. the origional is a classic its not even worth remaking it

"Abre Los Ojos". It was made in Spain, if I'm not mistaken.
Another excellent remake: Scarface 8)
On The Edge of Insanity:
The thing is, even the best directors are now doing it, i.e. Scorcese's new flick is a remake of the asian film Internal Affairs. Admitably its looks like it's gonna be good, and it has Ray Winstone in it (always a good idea), but when even people like him are remaking stuff it starts to get quite annoying.
"Scarface" wasn't really a remake, the first film was about Al Capone in New York, they just took the essence of that film and translated it to cocaine dealing in Florida, which for me is how it should be. The film could quite easily have been called something else, and you wouldn't have even imagined it being a remake, it was simply inspired by another film.
The ones that really annoy me are like Gus Van Sant's version of "Psycho" which was shot by shot exactly the same as Hitchcock's. What was the point in that? It was similar with the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" remake as well.
