BEST 14. 'Rise o..."Apes" isn't a remake of a particular film, but a renovation of the whole "Planet of the Apes" concept. Director Rupert Wyatt and star James Franco brought this stunning reinvention to life in grand cinematic style.—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Fox)

BEST 13. 'The Ri...In the past 10 years, few films have struck fear in the hearts of audiences quite like "The Ring." The success of this Naomi Watts film, based on a 1998 Japanese movie, sparked a craze of stealing horror films from overseas. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: DreamWorks)

BEST 10. 'Charli...Tim Burton's 2005 remake of the original classic "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" was an unusual take on a childhood favorite.

BEST 6. 'Casino ...Daniel Craig re-invented the 007 role that David Niven originally made famous with extremely steamy results. Craig steps into the latest Bond film, "Skyfall," in November.—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: United Artists)

BEST 1. 'Footloo...Fans of the original 1984 Kevin Bacon classic have been in an uproar over this remake, starring newcomer Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough. Fortunately, director Craig Brewer's fresh take (despite its nearly identical script and soundtrack) streamlines the original film's drowsier moments and adds emotional depth to the story. In short, it's a good time. —XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Paramount)

WORST 14. 'The D...Somehow, Keanu Reeves made a dull and stiff alien from another planet even more dull and stiff. Without the camp of '50s sci-fi, this movie falls way short.—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Fox)

WORST 12. 'Conan...No plot? Bad acting? Big explosions? Sounds like a big-budget summer blockbuster. Who would have thought the version starring Arnold Schwarzenegger would be the "good one"?—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Lionsgate)

WORST 11. 'Arthu...Dudley Moore must have rolled over in his grave. This remake of Moore's Oscar-winning 1981 film was so bad, New York Times critic A.O. Scott said: "Never have I needed a drink so badly."—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Warner Brothers)

WORST 9. 'The Wo..."The Women," in its original 1939 form, is a Joan Crawford classic. Unfortunately, it gets a heavy-handed "Sex and the City" face-lift in this awful 2008 remake. A better title would have been "The Woe-men."—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Picturehouse)

WORST 1. 'Swept ...As a rule of thumb, Guy Ritchie should stick to projects that involve missing teeth or Cockney accents. His ex-wife Madonna's famously gapped teeth and feeble attempt at an English accent just missed the mark.—XFINITY Entertainment Staff (Photo: Columbia)
