 433  7.3  7.9 Prelude tells me this is a good remake, but I haven't seen it yet, or the original. Looking at points, I'm sorry this one is too close to call - its a tie!
Too close to call on points! 
46 7.6 7.7 I personally prefer excellent originals, without which there wouldn't be a remake. But personal feelings aside, this fight is judged on points alone!
Too close to call on points! 
77 7.2 7.8 I haven't seen this movie yet - not being a horror fan. But certainly winner on points!
Winner on Points by 2.5 Points / 3.3 Points Thanks Escafeld for this one! 
347 4.9 4.6 So much has occured in 36 years; technology has improved, film makers have an arsenal of tools at their disposal and a history of film making to borrow and learn from. So to produce a stinker takes quite some lack of talent. No contest here.
Lose on Points (by -2.5 Points / -3.3 Points) Thanks Escafeld for this one! 
139 5.2 5.6 I disagree with the votes on this one, but hey everyone to their own.
Lose on points -1.4 / -2.1 Thanks to Prelude for this one! Nonfictionguy's rating:

77 6.7 7 I haven't seen this movie yet - not being a horror fan. But certainly winner on points!
Winner on Points by 1.6 Points / 1.6 Points Thanks Markjazz for this one! 
451 5 5.4 Can anyone tell me what is scary about this movie? It was on TV so I watched it, which was a waste of my time. Best scene oh they've got a lift, oh he's got a knife, where has it gone, oh he's dropped them off where they wanted to go - tut!

119 6.7 6.8 Another movie I haven't seen this movie yet - not being a horror fan. But certainly another winner on points!

449 6.7 7.2 Despite the great stars, it just doesn't have the same level of tension.

107 7.4 7.8 Close, but the Original and still the best!

387 6.1 5.9 Decent action movie, good stars, but this isn't real life, but it is great for learning how not to kill someone. Giant Gun in Car with remote control - yeah right!

450 7.1 8 The line "Get your dirty hands off me you darn dirty ape!" and the emotional scene at the end of this film made this movie the powerful visual treat it was. Superb! The Original still the best!
Wins on Points by 1.5 Points / 2.5 Points Nonfictionguy's rating:
1125 5.4 5.5 How can you top the best, why have a double twist ending of course! Shame it was just so lame. This should have went straight to DVD.

91 6.7 7 Help me! The original is dated, special effects are limited at the time, but it still shocked. Late at night this film still holds its own - Tie.
Too close to call on points! Nonfictionguy's rating:
 
561 6.9 7.4 Special effects were, at the time, advanced and impressive. If you saw the original you knew what to expect, but it is still a good movie - Tie.

433 5.2 5.1 How can anyone try to improve on a classic! Steve Martin actually does a good job, but the slapstick looks forced and humour is dated. With the original in colour and english, why would anyone want to make a remake - bad idea!
Loser(On Points by -1.8 Points / -2.2 Points) Nonfictionguy's rating:
257 6.7 7.2 The classic looks its age, its humour is very light. But as the first in the series, its place in history is reserved. The Original and still the best!
Winner on Points by 1.8 Points / 2.2 Points) Nonfictionguy's rating:
187 7 7.3 A film of its time, this had everything, humour, action and a sense of realism. The ending is a classic. I've got an idea! Winner, the Original and still the best.
Winner on Points by 0.4 Points / 0.5 Points Nonfictionguy's rating:
926 6.6 6.9 Not so much a remake, more of a new car movie with a familiar name. This is how remakes should be done. Take a concept and take it on. Sadly it doesn't have the longevity of the original.
Loser (On Points by -0.4 Points / -0.5 Points) Nonfictionguy's rating:
122 7.2 7.6 Classic movie, certainly still the best!
Winner on Points by 2.5 / 3.9 Points Nonfictionguy's rating:
81 4.7 4.7 What can I say, anyone involved in this movie should hang their head in shame.
Loser (On Points by -2.5 / -3.9 Points) Nonfictionguy's rating:
614 6.4 7.2 This is actually a very good remake, the atmosphere is superb and acting is first class. Surprised, but for making me think Williams can act, the remake should win!
Loser (On Points by -0.8 / -0.1 Points) Nonfictionguy's rating:
38 7.5 7.3 The original and a superb film, well shot, atmospheric and gripping. If you enjoy movies, then do watch this film, it is a classic (hence they did a remake in english). The Original and slightly better!
Winner on Points by 0.8 / 0.1 Points Nonfictionguy's rating:
556 5.5 6.2 No no no no no! Do not watch this movie! I watched it all and knowing the original so well, could see what they were trying to do, but the original is just in another league. This movie should sit on the DVD rental shelf next to the remake of Planet of the Apes.
Loser (On Points by -1.9 / -1.8 Points) Nonfictionguy's rating:
107 7.4 8 You can see the skill of all the actors in this movie, which flows wonderfully. Its the original, a classic and certainly the Best!

Description
Remake or Original, but which one is best?! There is only one way to find out FIGHT!!! Personal opinion aside, I've used both Listal Points and IMDB Points to judge the outcome. If you cannot wait - Originals are best (but not always!).
