I've seen that remake and, in all sincerity, it really isn't bad. I actually quite admire Soderbergh for doing it (in much the same way that I do Van Sant for his version of Psycho). The easy option would be to simply stick the originals on the shelf marked 'Classic - DO NOT TOUCH!'. I don't for a minute think either Soderbergh or Van Sant thought they were the respective equals of Tarkovsky or Hitchcock. I think both remakes were done more in the spirit of, 'I wonder what would happen if ...' rather than, 'I can do better than ...'
