This list needs some serious work. Movies like Fantastic Four, Lord of the Rings, and Casino Royale are not remakes. They may be similar to previous works, but they ARE NOT REMAKES. Alot of the films listed here are adaptations of a book or a other item that a previous film was based on. Is the 2005 The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe truly a remake? It's based upon the book, not the previous movie. Plasma Twa 2 09:30, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be Remake(s)... Original.
The way it is seems to imply... no, outright states... that all versions except the most recent are the original. Shouldn't it be that all versions except the first are remakes? Duggy 1138 22:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
agreed, but who on earth is going to sort through all of this and fix it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.154.133 ( talk) 04:50, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
A film such as Frankenstein should not be considered a remake of an earlier film since it's based on the actual novel, not the 1931 film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.69.81 ( talk) 16:16, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Conan the Barbarian is a 2011 film remake of the 1982 original film. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmouraquaresma ( talk • contribs) 12:48, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi, wouldn't Metropolis (2001) fall under this list as it's based on Metropolis (1927)? I know it's not technically a remake since it claims basis on the Osamu Tezuka manga of the same name, but the plot of the remake is more similar to the 1927 movie than it is to the manga, and it's almost exactly alike to the 1927 movie. At least take it into consideration. 198.45.223.105 ( talk) 01:54, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
@ Clarityfiend: I appreciate you're trying to improve this page, but many of the edits on the tables seem to have resulted in it breaking up and becoming very messy in several places. Maybe we should use a sandbox or a draft page to try to fix all the table issues before it goes into article space? ★Trekker ( talk) 12:19, 1 November 2020 (UTC)
