Remakes better than the originals.

[Reasonable]

They are few, but they are out there. My list:

The Thing, Dawn of the Dead, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Last House on the Left, Amityville Horror, my bloody valentine, the Fly. Remember, they just need to be better than the original, doesnt mean you think they are great movies themselves!

I can buy The Thing and The Fly (and I'd add the recent True Grit remake  - or revist if the novel - as well as Oceans Eleven, Cape Fear, etc as others have noted) but are you shitting me with Dawn of the Dead?  The remake is glossier but artistically is pretty weak next to the perfect satire of the original.  I'm going to go with the general film fan consensus and declare you to be in error with that one.
