I greatly prefer transformative remakes that don’t supercede the original, but provide a complementary experience.

With that said, I feel like Resident Evil has this on lockdown for the foreseeable future. The remakes of 1, 2, and 4 are excellent. I even like 3. And Veronica is on the way.

I’d put Metroid on the shortlist as well. Zero Mission is one of the best Nintendo games ever, portable or otherwise; and it’s a huge improvement over the original Metroid. Samus Returns is another example of a remake done right.
