NOTE: A remake is a redo of a previous movie, so pictures like 1992's Dracula and 1994's Frankenstein are not being counted as they are adaptations of the same non-movie source material that others have used. If there are any movies that you think should be on this list, e-mail us at mail@boxofficemojo.com .
