24/7 Tempo's Top American Adaptations of Foreign Movies

"Hollywood is acknowledged as the movie capital of the world, but many cinephiles have criticized the movie-making mecca for its lack of original ideas. Not only do studios turn out endless sequels, franchise entries, and films based on popular TV series, but many American films are reboots from motion pictures that originally made their mark in another country, and often another language. To determine the best American remakes of foreign films, 24/7 Tempo developed an index using average ratings on IMDb, an online movie database owned by Amazon, and a combination of audience scores and Tomatometer scores on Rotten Tomatoes, an online movie and TV review aggregator, as of April 2023, weighting all ratings equally. Only movies with at least 5,000 user votes on IMDb were considered. The 50 remakes on our list come from 16 different countries; most of the American remakes of foreign films fall short of the original, according to critics on Rotten Tomatoes." - 247tempo.com
