This is going to sound so weird, but the 1988 film, The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking is the only remake I know that feels faithful and comparable to the original, which was made in 1969 - so I think it was a reasonable amount of time to bring out a new Pippi Longstocking film. I don't necessarily dislike the films on the list, but most of them are not as good as the original films and don't remain true to the spirit of the films they're remaking. That sounds pretentious, I know, but I'm still gonna go with my answer.

The Departed

Twelve Monkeys (1995)

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

Poll under consideration. "most worthy of it's original foreign and non-English language brethren" - should be "its"

'Nice poll! Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was a bit redundant but a very good film and equal to its predecessor, I think. I did not see the original Mr. Ripley but the English version was excellent. I'd vote for one of those. I thought Nolan's Insomnia is an embarrassment compared to its Scandinavian partner, which was exquisite.

The Departed

Sorcerer. Remake of Wages of Fear. William Friedkin.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is not so much a remake, as an adaptation of the same book. If we are discussing remakes I think it should be only film (original script-not book adaptation) remake.
