I found some more good remakes even though they were not made in Hollywood;                                                                 Bunuel's "Diary of Chambermaid" was more interesting than Renoir's same title. Though this original (or should I say first) one was not a foreign film, again I prefered Bunuel's Spanish speaking "Wuthering Heights" than Wyler's classic. The film looked more crude and sadistic (what do you expect?) but I think it carried novel's spirit better.
Also I saw a Hungarian version of "The postman always rings twice" a few years ago. Beautifully photographed in black and white. Unfortunately I don't remember who made it ( it looked similar but it wasn't Bela Tarr).
