Ocean’s Eleven voted the best movie remake
Based on the original 1960 film, the movie hit screens in 2001 and went on to gross over 450 million dollars worldwide.
George Clooney leads an all-star cast of Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts as he attempts to heist three of the biggest casinos in Las Vegas.
The poll of 2,000 Brits was conducted to celebrate the Jameson Empire 'Done in 60 Seconds' competition — which challenges aspiring filmmakers to remake any film of their choice in no more than 60 seconds.
The results also prove a film needs more than a charming leading man as Russell Brand's Arthur took the gong for the worst remake.
Evgenia Matthews, Jameson Brand Manager, said: "Films are a massive part of British culture and most of us are never shy of voicing what we like and what we don't.
"There's an increasing trend towards revisiting popular stories within film and Ocean's Eleven is a great example of how a remake can be so successful."
The Mummy starring the all-action Brendan Fraser was dubbed the second best ever remake, while Peter Jackson's King Kong proved a worthy re-telling of the 1933 original.
Nicholas Cage won't look back fondly at his appearance in The Wicker Man — the attempt to revive the 1973 version was branded the second worst remake in history.
Four in ten Brits say they are open minded when it comes to remakes, but 45 per cent say remakes often don't respect the original enough.
A fifth of Brits feel cult films in particular lend themselves to remakes, with Blade Runner, Labyrinth and Donnie Darko all proving popular.
Evgenia Matthews added: "It's no surprise that the public said cult films lend themselves to remakes.
"These films are a strong part of our identity and the characters and storylines never leave us.
"We've noticed a rise in the trend of cult film remakes over the last few years."
