I actually liked the American remake of the The Ring better than the original Japanese version but at the same time I liked the original Japanese Ju-On movies better than I did the American remakes known as The Grudge.
And I forgot those other movies I listed were made in the 2000s so I guess that's why I didn't list them.

The original Japanese film is from 1998 =)
I know, but I prefer the remake. I hate reading movies, it just means I will miss out on so much on screen because I'm busy reading the entire movie. If at least it had been dubbed, like 'My wife is a gangster is'...
Plus the kid Aidan is pretty creepy! He's reason enough to watch the movie IMO.
I actually rewatched it today, it was nice.
Why do so many horror movies have a creepy little psychic kid?
He kind of reminded me of Danny from The Shining.

I've watched it so many times, and I've read the book, so it's hard to miss anything when you know it so well =)
I haven't watched the remake in forever, but what I miss most about it is that it doesn't take place in Japan
Also, the sequel (Ring Two) has nothing to do with the novels (and little to do with the movie before it), so you never get to follow the rest of the story and find out why the virus exists, and what it's trying to accomplish.
The Korean remake has an English dub, but like most dubs, the acting is pretty bad. It is a tiny bit more faithful to the novel than the Japanese version, but honestly, I don't think it's that important to know that Sadako (or whatever her Korean name was) had androgen insensitivity syndrome.

I know of the novels, but I haven't read them.
Sadako's Korean name is Park Eun-suh, by the way. I only watched it (and Uzumaki) because Eun-Kyung Shin from My wife is a gangster was in it, and I wanted to see how she was in that one since I thought she was awesome as a gangster!

Sadako (Samara) is the psychic one, not Yoichi (Aiden).
But Aidan seemed to have a connection to Samara that he surely couldn't have had unless he too had some psychic powers.

Apropos redrum, there is a Korean manga called Redrum 327. I liked it. I just had to read it with that title!
