Original Is Much Better Than Remake

Americans have more than earned their reputation for botching remakes of successful pictures from around the world. They'll add a happy ending when the brutal conclusion is what made it so unforgettable (The Vanishing); they'll fail to capture that unique comic tone (Downhill, from Force Majeure) or at worst, they'll simply ignore the classic source material to make mystifying pap (City of Angels, from Wings of Desire). But here are the exceptions, when Hollywood managed to match, or even exceed, the original.
