THE BEST
THE DEPARTED (2006)
Original: Infernal Affairs (2002)
Director Martin Scorsese transplanted the original cat-and-mouse thriller from gleaming Hong Kong to the gritty streets of South Boston, where Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio play a gangster pretending to be a cop or vice versa. It's not thought of as Scorsese's finest work, but it did win him his long-overdue Oscar.
With ''The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3'' rumbling into theaters this weekend, we're looking back at other remakes, both exemplary and notorious -- like ''Planet of the Apes,'' ''Ocean's Eleven,'' and ''Dawn of the Dead''
