This is a QotW answer The Hollywood challenge
Can anyone please provide me with a Hollywood remake of a film that is better than the original please?

of the track record I can think of

El Mariachi is better than Desperados

Any Japanese horror movie has been better than the hollywood remake

Get Carter - genius versus abomination

The Italian Job - genius versus abomination

The only film that comes close is The Departed and thats still not quite as good as Infernal Affairs.

Just be interested to know if there are any good ones out there?

This is a QotW comment Ocean's 11
I confess I haven't seen the Frank Sinatra original, but apparently the slick George Clooney version has the edge.

The Magnificent Seven is a pretty good remake (although in a Western setting) of the Seven Samurai, but I wouldn't rate it better.

This is a QotW comment hmm, magnificent 7 is up there
but technically the original Oceans 11 was a hollywood ratpack film anyway wasn't it?
