The point is to say what your favorite modern remake of an older film is, not to just name a movie you enjoy.

agreed - as for the Thing - i love both films, though for entirely different reasons.
i'll also admit really loving parts of Jackson's King Kong

The Fly
Hills Have Eyes - I wasn't a fan of the original but loved the remake.
Peter Jackson's King Kong however was a complete piece of shit. The Titanic of monster flicks :)

You liked the new texas chainsaw massacre.I can't stand that movie all the other ones you named were pretty good though.I'd say Dawn Of The Dead and Night of the living dead.

I like the new Amityville Horror. It actually struck a little fear in me as the original never did.

does the l.o.t.r. count as a remake? probably just the first movie and first half of the second. i suppose it isn't hard to top a camp, psychadelic, hippy cartoon from the seventies. also, is it sad i went to see t.c.m. twice in the cinema?

And the Fog was cool.
No it wasn't.

The Fog remake was the most boring movie I've seen.

THE THING def...and see the original...when that lady comes into the room with that pie...all those "soldiers" there...she says..."Anyone want a piece of this?"...oh that was priceless for BnW cinema.
His name leaves me "Arnes"? maybe...the Sheriff from Gunsmoke TV? he plays the original monster.

Amen...told some history that made you just want to watch the 1st one again..no chills, bumps etc...I kept expecting Tom Welling to use his Superman powers in the remake :)
Got to say I really like the remake of the Am. Horror (Ryan Reynolds was great).."What the hell is the matter with you people?!"
and TCM remake.

Horror: The Thing
Non horror, I would have to go with Imitation of Life, or Fistful of Dollars.

While I enjoyed the Magnificent Seven, I still think the the original Seven Samurai was better. Both are truly fun flicks:D

I really can't back you up on that one. I'm old enough that the original Fog scared the crap out of me as a kid. To see it as a PG-13 remake featuring WB network actors . . . . well, it just makes me feel a little sick. :(

Not original at all, but hey, they aren't that many good remakes anyways...

Night of the Living Dead's remake was tolerable...not great by any means...
Dawn of the Dead...a very good effort...
Texas Chainsaw Massacre...pale shadow cept for Jessica Biel's boobs...
The Fog...utterly disappointing...
Omen...not bad, but the original's background score was amazing...
It ll be quite interesting to see how the Halloween remake pans out.
