Quoted from xsvtoys:Those 80s movies can definitely be remade into something better! Just look at Total Recall, Point Break, The Thing, Robocop....
The most recent version of The Thing is not a remake.
It is a prequel that takes place in the Norwegian camp prior to the American camp. If you run the two movies back to back (new one first), they are one seamless story line.
The 1982 version of The Thing is actually a remake of the 1951 black and white film.
