Did You Know These Classic Films Were All Remakes?

The Departed

Was "Internal Affairs" good? Incredibly so. Was "The Departed" even better, so much so that it made everyone forget about the original movie? You bet! Aside from the stellar cast list on the 2006 film, there's also director legend Martin Scorsese behind the camera. Obviously, one of these was destined to come out on top...

Dawn Of The Dead

Sarah Polley, Ving Rhames, Jake Weber, and Mekhi Phifer star in the 2004 remake of this fan-beloved classic film Dawn Of The Dead. With Zack Snyder in the director's chair, this recreation was not as incredible as the first (but how could it be?) One thing is for sure...when the dead start coming, these characters better start running!
