This is when:

Godzilla (most iterations)

True Grit (not that the original was bad)
Heat
War of the Worlds
Casino Royale
The Ladykillers (IMHO, although it's a close-run thing)
Young Frankenstein

I'm in two minds about Get Carter and The Italian Job.

Batman - see above The modern ones are slick.
Never knew Heat was a remake. LA Takedown. Awful. Heat's in my top 100.
True Grit, can't agree. I was impressed by the new one, despite Jeff Bridges' incomprehensibility. Hailee Steinfeld's performance was outstanding.
WotW no way, original trumps the shitty remake every time. SFX.
Casino Royale, OK, will give you that one
Ladykillers - both are brilliant, watched them back to back dead heat I'm afraid
YF? No idea. Remake hilarious, original dull.

As for get Carter and the Italian Job - the fact that you're in two minds is a surprise, the follow ups were rubbish compared to the originals. Caine was powerful in the original Get Carter, and the film's very watchable -- typical British gangster menacing grit; but Sly's take was more rounded. The original Italian Job is a classic, no doubt, but I have a fairly low threshold for suspension of disbelief -- and although watching nearly any film requires it, in context the original pushes it too far.

Surprised no-one's mentioned Godfather 2 (not a remake but in the same vein as Italian Job 2). Not really relevant -- the Godfather series is just that: a series. The discussion's about remakes.

Adding 'sh' in front of the title would be a sufficient adjective....

Good effects but poor plot and had some many stereotypes in it. Was like a scarier missmash of the Goonies and Stand by Me.

Annoyed I spent the cash on the Reel Platinum tickets now. Although the food brought to the seats was top draw.

That's my second draw.

My top draw is reserved for bondage gear, so it smelled of leather, sweat and fear.... oh and talc.

He forgot the "er". Draw is as in drawing with a pencil. You keep things in a drawer in a sideboard. In fact this should go in Room 101. Along with using must of instead of must have...

No offence... ;)

If he's into leather and bondage he's definitely sniffed poppers up the wazoo.
