As far as remakes go I liked Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Dawn of the Dead (although I dont necessarily consider them better than the originals)

AS far as Halloween, I really didnt like the remake, Rob Zombie has this way that to me just seems desperate and clumsy, basically just trying too hard to be shocking and its palpable.

BUT to each their own, I'm definitely biased as the original Halloween to me is one the greatest ones ever made, So someone remaking it to me would be like if someone remade The Godfather or Casablanca or something.

Ohh, I forgot that the 70s version of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" is a remake... and a very good one!

haha yeah, the original is one of those great old 50's movies, I suppose now its viewed as a 'political allegory' , Me personally I just think the 50's looked hilarious

Personally, I just think the 80s looked hilarious.

I love the remake of Halloween. I like how it goes more in depth into Michael's past. I also liked the remake of A Nightmare on Elm Street, there was one part in it where I was laughing so hard at something Freddy had said, I replayed it like five times.

My least favorite is the remake of Friday the Thirteenth. It was just... weird.. And it didn't seem very much like Jason to me. Like abducting someone who he thinks looks like his mom and keeping her in some cave. I just thought that didn't seem like something he would do. It was out of character to me.

I forgot about the 1990 version of "Night Of The Living Dead". I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. The original is still the best, but this was quite good.

I absolutely love both of Rob Zombie's Halloween films. I'm a huge fan of his films anyway but the Halloween films really did it for me. I think you can tell he's a huge horror buff from watching his movies which I love.

One of my favourite remakes is the 'Night of the Living Dead' remake as mentioned above. It's so bad it's good. :)
