are you asking for remakes that are good? ie not embarrassments compared to the original? i'm a little dense, no doubt, but i'm a bit unsure of the wording in your subject line.

if you are, then i agree with both of your choices, & i'd add the 70s version of invasion of the body snatchers.

I edited the title to make it clearer.

good call with Body Snatchers

I think that 'good' is subjective, but these are ones that I liked, that haven't been mentioned already.

The Birdcage (1996)
Cape Fear (1991)
Homeward Bound - The Incredible Journey (1993)
12 Monkeys (1995) - if we count remakes from shorts
