Literally at the top of my head:
Scarface
The Fly
The Blob
Hills Have Eyes (until the last 15 mins)
Dangerous Liasons
Little Shop of Horrors
Insomnia (the Pacino/Nolan one; remake of a great film but still being really good, not better though)
The Thing
Ransom
12 Monkeys (a good version of La Jaettee)
The Departed
Ocean's 11
Heat (!!!!!!!!!!!! this is L.A. Takedown, everyone)
Man Who Knew Too Much
Vanilla Sky
Cape FEar
Fatal Attraction
Funny Games
The Ring (which I don't like, but it's leagues better than Ringu!)
Fistful of Dollars (Yojimbo!)
Controversial, but I'd say Payback might be a little better than Point Blank...
I think Night of the Living Dead -- Savini's -- is better than Romero's.
I'm sure there's tons if I think about em for a few minutes. Looks like quite a few good remakes...

Yeah, isn't Star Wars a remake though? I mean, it's a Hidden Fortress remake, right?
