I will second The Fly as a great remake.
Also, House of Wax (Vincent Price) was a good remake.
The problem with remakes is that it is usually films that were good at the time that are remade. Which are probably the movies that least need to be remade.
Sometimes it works well - when movies that were good but made on a modest budget are respectfully recreated with a larger budget but adhering to the same values an ideals of the original.
Unfortunately, this does not always happen. And so we have masterpieces such as the remake of The Wicker Man and many, many others.
