What about Dawn of the Dead and The Thing? Those were great.
I haven't seen the Dawn of the Dead remake nor the original The Thing from Another World, so I can't say how they compare with their respective predecessors/successors. I was never a fan of the original Dawn of the Dead anyway, though, so I honestly couldn't care less about its remake (plus I just don't enjoy the whole zombie apocalypse subgenre, anyway).
Actually IMO the original versions of Day the Earth Stood Still and Amityville Horror bored me so much I didn't even want to see the remakes in the first place.
Truth be told, I'm not a big fan of the originals myself. Still, they did have their good qualities - qualities which the remakes tore apart and wiped their asses with.
