Lord of the Rings (not sure if it counts as a remake, but they're better than the late 70's version.)

Casino Royale

Apocalypse Now & Heart of Darkness

The ending of the Japanese remake of Unforgiven is better than the original, and more in keeping with Spaghetti/Kurosawa movie themes

Island of Dr. Moreau, now that I know the horrifying backstory of its production

It references the original movie, technically a sequel not a remake. I'll admit, it was much better than I expected though.

Airplane was an almost line-for-line remake of a movie called Zero Hour, but changed the tone to a comedy rather than disaster flick.

"Side-by-side" comparison: Zero Hour! (1957) Vs Airplane! (1980)

You're thinking of the prequel to the 1982 remake of the original 1951 movie.

Ben Hur.

No, not the 2016 film. The all-time great 1959 version was actually preceded by a 1925 silent version. Gotta be the best remake in the history of remakes.

No need to hide.  The remake was far better.

Robocop.  Remake was a much more serious movie.  The first is a classic and great in its own way, but the remake is better.

The Thing was better than the 1951 original.
