Films are one of the best forms of entertainment that can be enjoyed. There is no better lazy day activity to experience than cozying up with a friend or loved one and watching a great movie. The only problem is that some movies are not all that great to start. Many original versions of films really turn out to be flops. This is where remakes come in. Some bad movies are remade, but some great ones are repurposed as well. While the good original versions are tough to beat, there are some remakes that are actually even better than the original. This is not an easy feat to accomplish with really great movies. But there are some remakes that are so exceptional that they are actually more popular and better made than the first try. If you would like to learn about these exceptional second takes, check out these 7 remakes that are better than the original movies.

Dawn of the Dead: 2004

The remake to Dawn of the Dead is based closely on the Romero original. But this version starring Ving Rhames that follows survivors of zombie attacks is a very good watch. They hide out in a shopping mall and this storyline keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers: 1978

This remake is already amazing because of its cast, which includes Veronica Cartwright, Jeff Goldbum, Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, and Leonard Nimoy. This version has been described as elegant and terrifying at the same time.

Heaven Can Wait: 1978

The original version of this 1978 remake was called Here Comes Mr. Jordan. This was a great storyline, but the remake directed by Warren Beatty is much better, which is slanted as a warmly received romcom. The remake beautifully portrays a quarter back, who is taken 47 years before his time by an angel that made a huge error in timing.

The MCU has been around for almost a decade and a half and has brought many of our childhood dreams to life. We can now step into a theater and see famous heroes like Spider-Man, Captain America, and Thor fighting side by side against a common foe. No longer do we have to imagine what comics would look like in real life.

The hardest job in turning a comic book to life is casting the right person for the right character, and the MCU has consistently done an excellent job at this. Let’s take a look at some of the most gorgeous women they cast for their superhero stories.

1. Scarlett Johansson

After being introduced as Black Widow in Iron Man 2, she’s been a major part of the Avengers and the MCU. She gets to end her story with a solo movie that’s in theaters now, but that’s sadly been overshadowed with a lawsuit Johansson started against Disney. She’s still an amazing woman, however, so go see Black Widow anyway!

2. Jaimie Alexander

In the MCU she’s playing Lady Sif and has appeared in two Thor movies and Agents of SHIELD show. She’s been on the back burner for a while now, but had a short appearance in the Loki series and will be coming back as Sif in the next Thor movie. Seems like the MCU hasn’t forgotten about her after all!

3. Elizabeth Olsen

We’d been waiting for it for a long time, but Wanda Maximoff finally became the Scarlet Witch in the WandaVision show. Her next appearance is going to be in the second Dr. Strange movie, so that’ll be a magical experience in every sense of the word.

1. Scarlett Johansson – North (1994)

Before we got to see Scarlett in a tight Black Widow suit, she’s been through a lot of roles, starting with her first movie – North.

2. Selena Gomez – Spy Kids 3D (2003)

Selena’s not just a great singer and Bieber’s infamous ex, she’s also a decent actress. Her first appearance on the big screen was in Spy Kids 3D, when she was only 11.

3. Emilia Clarke – Triassic Attack (2010)

Right before playing our beloved Khaleesi, Emilia put some pain on giant prehistoric lizards.

4. Zendaya – Frenemies (2012)

Zendaya and Bella Thorne, as a dynamic detective duo? Sign me up! It’s no Spider-Man, but we’ll take it.

5. Anna Kendrick – Camp (2003)

To think that Anna’s first movie appearance was only 8 years ago in the movie Camp. It’s unbelievable that she’s remained unnoticed for so long.

Ah yes, the covid thing is almost over and done with so we can start traveling the world again. Haven’t we all looked forward to that? It’s the perfect time of year too, we can go visit someplace sunny and get those bathing suits out for their time to shine. Just, y’know, try not to make a fool of yourself. The internet never forgets.

Like these lovely ladies that got photobombed by a stingray. Suddenly that stringray looks like he’s the only living creature actually happy to be there, which just isn’t the kind of vacation vibe you’re looking for.

Then there’s also this young woman who figured the Olympics are a relevant thing right now so she’d give her attempt at some acrobatics. The Faceplant, as this move is called in the business, sadly never gets many points from the professional juries. 

Stingrays are going to be the least of your worries when you’re walking around carrying food. Suddenly you’ll get ganged up on by a bunch of monkeys, and you know they’re relentless when it comes to taking your stuff. That’s never going to be a good situation.

One of the most talked-about films of 2021 is the epic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel Dune, with the excellent director Denis Villeneuve at the helm. The Dune adaptations have a long and mostly unsuccessful history. Back in the mid-1970s, Alejandro Jodorowsky was going to make an ambitious film adaptation that would exceed even the wildest expectations, with a potential to become one of the greatest achievements of the film industry.

But, alas, Jodorowsky’s “Dune” collapsed under the unbearable weight of its components, and production did not really have time to start. Other than that and the god-awful SyFy mini-series, the most famous film adaptation of the fantastic saga was the 1984 film — Dune (surprised?) by David Lynch.

Since we still have time before the release (September 3), let’s look closer at the actors from the 84’s version and compare them with the modern cast.

1. Paul Atreides

In 1984, Paul Atreides was played by Kyle MacLachlan, while in the remake, we’ll be greeted by the handsome Timothée Chalamet.

2. Duke Leto Atreides

Jürgen Prochnow played Duke Leto Atreides in the old one and the 2021 version he will be portrayed by the one and only — Oscar Isaac.

3. Lady Jessica Atreides

The 1984 Lady Jessica was played by Francesca Annis. Now compare her to her modern iteration by Rebecca Ferguson. Which one looks better?

4. Chani

The young Chani will be played by Zendaya, who we all know from the Spider-Man movies. Her 1984 version was portrayed by Sean Young.

5. Reverend Mother Mohiam

Siân Phillips was outstanding as Reverend Mother Mohiam, and Charlotte Rampling will have to be on her A-game to even stand a chance.
