I'm not totally opposed to remakes, but prefer them to be of films which left room for improvement.
I'll also invoke The Fly as a great remake. The original was a clunky, mediocre little flick that, really, was unintentionally hilarious. Cronenberg took the core idea -- a man genetically splicing himself with a fly -- and ran with it. The result was outstanding.
Unfortunately, most remakes tend to merely copy the originals. I'd much rather the producers put their money into a whole new movie instead.
