People will always disagree about what is "classic." There's no objective way to determine exactly what is and what is not classic. The Blob and NOTLD probably weren't the best examples but they came to mind because they're very good remakes. My basic point is that these movies shouldn't be dismissed just because they're remakes. Remakes have been around for a very long time and many have been truly amazing movies. I think we've had quite a few such remakes in the last decade.
