For me, it has to be “Old Boy” which is originally a Korean movie but the US version sucks so much that it remains incomparable. Another contender is “The Ring” again a Japanese movie (the ending differs between both versions, as the original one refers to the protagonist’s father sacrificing himself but the remake states that the cursed tape is being sent to someone else, passing the omen towards another stranger).

    I never saw The Departed but it won Martin Scorsese his only oscar so it must be good. I’ve only seen the original Infernal Affairs and I quite enjoyed it.
