THE BEST
1 ''Ocean's Eleven'' (2001) A hellzapoppin' cast turned the Rat Pack's so-so 1960 caper into a glitzy love letter to Vegas.
2 ''Dawn of the Dead'' (2004) Bloody, hysterical, and scary as hell. How remakes oughta be.
3 ''The Thomas Crown Affair'' (1999) Made us forget Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway's steamy 1968 chess game.
4 ''Cape Fear'' (1991) Robert De Niro chewed the swampy scenery in Martin Scorsese's twisted take on the 1962 classic.
5 ''The Wiz'' (1978) Props for taking a risk and plunging Diana Ross' Dorothy into a big-city ghetto...
THE WORST
1 ''The Wiz'' (1978) ...but for most, this dreary take mars memories of the original.
2 ''Sabrina'' (1995) and ''The Truth About Charlie'' (2002) Dear Julia Ormond and Thandie Newton: Never try to channel our beloved Audrey Hepburn again. Love, EW
3 ''Psycho'' (1998) Left anybody who saw it asking, Why?!?!?
4 ''The Texas Chainsaw Massacre'' (2003) Like a WB show gone horribly awry.
5 ''Gloria'' (1999) Another nail in Sharon Stone's career coffin!
