Both of them are classics, the old The Thing From Another World from 1951 and The Carpenter make of The Thing. The Carpenter version is closer to the 1938 novella by John Campbell, AKA, Don Stuart, Who Goes There, that inspired the story, but the 1951 version is excellent in it's own way, a piece of cold war camaraderie with minimal FX and a good monster. I have a marginal preference for the 1951 movie in all its monochrome glory.
An odd remake, Horror Express, is unnecessary and the 2011 remake was redundant. Another early 2000's remake seems to have floundered somehow.
