25 best movie remakes ever

12 Monkeys (1995)

Terry Gilliam took La Jetée, a 1962 French short, added a US$30m budget, installed Bruce Willis, Madeleine Stowe and Brad Pitt in the lead roles and came out with 12 Monkeys, a feature-length – and excellent – post-apocalyptic thriller. Sadly, he neglected to add any actual monkeys.
