I've openly welcomed some sequels, prequels, and remakes. Even to films that were iconic in my world. I'm completely ok with films that are new and\or current versions of older films, or are connected to older films.

and am thus interested in some examples, if you feel like it.

These are films that I think equaled or surpassed the original versions or that worked well as a prequel or sequel.
