Most people hate 'em with a passion. I tend to keep an open mind and actually prefer some over their originals.1. Dawn of the Dead- I know I'm gonna take heat over this one but the remake just does it better for me. The original, while a classic, just doesn't hold up over time. The original was Hokey and stupid at times, the remake grabs you by the throat and never lets up.2. King Kong 1976- Another often hated, despised remake. I saw this at an impressionable 7 years old on the big screen and was totally and completely enthralled. Vastly underrated IMO, this Kong was moving and fun.3. The Thing 1982- Carpenter's masterpiece bests the original in every conceivable way.Lets hear yours........................Larry<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndThat King Kong was awesome <img src=\"style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif\" style=\"vertical-align:middle\" emoid=\":biggrin:\" border=\"0\" alt=\"biggrin.gif\" /> I saw it as a double feature with the other movie being"Old Dracula".
