chel1395 picked Dawn of the Dead:
I like all these films...I just prefer the original versions more. However, Dawn of the Dead is the only film I can think of that I love MORE than the original :)

Kirsty picked The Parent Trap:
Oo great pick! Hard choice between this and Dawn of the Dead...but I decided that I liked DotD because I watched it with someone (my cousin) who made me laugh at it. CJ!!

Gstine picked Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory:
I didn't really like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I thought it was annoying. The new one is way darker and much closer to the book.

Honestly, I think all the originals were superior, although some of these remakes were very good.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an adaptation of the book, not the original movie.

TheCountess picked John Carpenter's The Thing:
thanks for adding this one too, Chel! ;)
Normally I don't like remakes, but John Carpenter's version of 'The Thing' was no mistake. I think this one far outshines the original. It still creeps me out when I watch it!

I spit on the Hairspray remake! Ugh!
The original Oceans 11 didn't have George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon in it.

None of these films were as good as their originals, at least imo.
