Of course. They can also be just different and good too, not
better. Cases in point imo:
Dial M for Murder
A Perfect Murder
(yes, I know TV series v film, and I know there is an earlier
film by the name... no matter for my point:)
Pennies from Heaven (Bob Hoskins)
Pennies from Heaven (Steve Martin)
and
better stop!
Just one more to example _your_ point:
Singing Detective (Michael Gambon)
Singing Detective (Robert Downey Jr)
(the latter had no real class, the first just oozes class)
