10 Hollywood Remakes Of Foreign Language Movies That Actually Didn't Suck

If ever there were a success story of American remakes of foreign films to point to as the perfect example, it would be The Departed.

An iconic director, a star-studded cast and a Best Picture win to its name, Martin Scorsese's masterpiece has truly worked its way into the hall of fame of American cinema.

Its original - 2002's Internal Affairs, which was Hong Kong's entry for the Foreign Language Film Oscar that year - is also a fantastic piece of cinema. But Scorsese's remake is truly magnificent.

The Departed has truly ascended the title of "Hollywood remake" with its quality and critical reception, becoming perhaps the most successful remake of a relatively unknown film of all time.
