The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3: Let This Train Go By

The movie remake is an interesting breed of cat. Essentially, at least the way I understand it, you're taking an established work made years ago (most of the time a successful work) and either trying to modernize it, improve on it, or ride on its reputation for a nice payday. There have been some good remakes--You've Got Mail was originally The Shop Around the Corner, His Girl Friday was a remake of The Front Page, and Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) was redone 27 years later as Mutiny on the Bounty (1962) and then 22 years later as The Bounty (1984).
