The only two I can think of are "The Producers" (except they left out the concierge talking about the boids) and "The Ten Commandments" (with that great scene of the obelisk raising and the great line "there's a man among the sheep!").
But in both those cases, the original director remade his own work.
Let's see...recent remakes:
"Sabrina" - Who could do Bogart and Audrey Hepburn?
"The Flight of the Phoenix" - James Stewart in a movie about an airplane. Perfection right there.
"Titanic" - Worth the price just to see Kate Winslet naked, even if she does yell "JACK!" about 10,000 times. Special effects are a bonus, but "A Night To Remember", with its careful British understatement and greater historical accuracy, is still the best Titanic movie.
