    Obviously the older movie is a bonified classic. One of the best movies ever. But the newer one is decent enough too, works as a nice sequel.

    Er- NO, a 'remake' is when a movie has an ORIGINAL screenplay, and another version is later made from the same screenplay, maybe with some changes/updates.

    Both versions of 'The Thing' are taken from the same pre-existing short SF story. In other words, they are RETELLINGS of a prior written work.

    However, even if a book pre-exists, a new version can be a remake if it ignores the book, and uses instead the original screenplay adaption. The utterly dreadful new 'Dune' movie, for instance, is more based on the screenplay used for Lynch's earlier version than the book, albeit with changes that mostly have nothing to do with the book, or the book's intent.

    By "both versions" I mean the 50s version and the 80s version, not the dreadful 2011 'soft-reboot'.
