25 best movie remakes ever

Scent of a Woman (1992)

Al Pacino put in an Oscar-winning performance as retired army ranger Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade, a blind, short-tempered alcoholic who reckons he can sniff out a bit of totty with his nose. It had all been done before – with less panache – in a 1974 Italian movie called Profumo di Donna. No prizes for guessing what that translates into.
