1. Fight Club, The Wizard of Oz, Patton is a great one warrrrr, Any Tarantino movie (I'm of course thinking 30-40 years from now, somebody will want to.) Any Coen Brothers movie, any Kubrick movie, any Terry Gilliam movie, etc. Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, Trainspotting.
2. Charlies Angels (remake? at least from TV), come to think of it almost any TV show, The Avengers, The Brady Bunch, Scooby-Doo, The Flinstones, that list is endless.
3. My favorite remakes:
Romeo + Juliet, Great Expectations, Oceans 11, Cruel Intentions, I'm sure there are some more good ones out there somewhere. Remakes are made from anything these days though, not just books anymore, 12 monkeys was a remake of a bunch sequential still photographs that told a story, "La Jete" I think it was called.
