It's too hard to pick a favorite. The remake has as good a cast, Ormond was actually 'forgettable' compared to Hepburn, and Mrs. Larrabee was much funnier than Mr.Larrabee in the 54 version. Hard to compete with the costumes and casting in the original, but damn if the remake doesn't come close.
Two movies that actually compete as original and remake.

You're insane. The original leaves the horrible remake in the dust.

The 1996 version was best

The original was kind of a confection that rests of the charm of the leads.
The remake had no reason to exist. It’s one of those bloated 1990s comedy dramas no one makes any more but Nancy Meyers; I get nostalgic for them, but not for this.
That said Julia Ormond wasn’t actually too bad in it, she was charming and beautiful, but she couldn’t compete with Audrey (who could?).

Humphrey Bogart, William Holden, and Audrey Hepburn vs Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, and Julia Ormond?
C'mon

How did Sabrina (1995) even get made? Were Harrison Ford, Greg Kinnear, Julia Ormond, and Sydney Pollack all CAA clients or something?

Sabrina 1956 has always been one of my favorite movies . Not everything should be re-examined so closely - of course things don’t hold up as they should - it was a perfect little fairytale - if you don’t examine the hell out of it - like “Daddy Long Legs - yes - the age difference. The duplicity (but that is what the Doris Day/ Rock Hudson movies hinge on). The chauffeur’s daughter - the servants. But it is magic - it is like a beautiful Christmas ornament to be taken out and enjoyed and admired for its history and the enjoyment it has given you over the years. . I have never heard “Isn’t it Romantic” without thinking about William Holden. ….. At least the 1995 Sydney Pollack movie was respectful to the original. It just wasn’t magic.

Rewatched both this weekend: I’m sorry to say this but the Pollack (1995) version is a better version.

Right over the garage.

Julia Ormond was awful. I find her lacking in charisma and not very pretty and the clothes were nothing. Nothing can top Hepburn's outfits and elegance.

Ormond was very good years later in a recurring role in Mad Men.
Her career was derailed by Weinstein.

Winona Ryder was going to play Sabrina until Harrison Ford's then wife pointed out he would look ridiculous playing the love interest of someone that young. Ormond was dreadful. I've always thought of her as a bargain basement version of Juliette Binoche.

Ryder probably would've been incredible as Sabrina; they should've re-cast Harrison Ford to make that work.

Hepburn’s Sabrina had the better wardrobe and higher level of elegance, but Ormond’s Sabrina had the much better writing and character development.
Harrison Ford was a very believable Linus than Humphrey Bogart.
William Holden was the better David.
