Also, I've answered the fav remake question on a few forums over the years, and people have always given me crap about saying Dawn of the Dead is my favorite "remake", even though the rest of the movies on my list arent that similar to the originals either. Probably because the remake is better than the original and the original is so beloved

So a movies only a remake if its the same as the original? One point of making remakes is to go in a different direction with it like Dawn of The Dead and even the new Evil Dead did. Its also to modernize it and introduce it to new audiences. Some may argue that there's really no point in doing that but it doesn't change the fact that they are in fact remakes. In fact the only good remakes are the ones that change it because what's the point in making a shot for shot remake? We have the original for that.
