So movies inspired from something count? The people behind Rear Window took DreamWorks and Spielberg to court and lost because it wasn't similar enough. Heck the movie isn't even straight based on Rear Window.

"LaBeouf was attracted to the role because of the director's 2002 film*The Salton Sea, which he complimented as one of his favorite films. Before filming started, the two watched the thriller films*Rear Window,*Straw Dogs, and*The Conversationstarring*Gene Hackman. They also viewed the 1989romantic film*Say Anything...*and "mixed all the movies together."

It is not a remake. This is your list and you can include what you'd like, bit seriously it isn't a remake. It is no more of a remake then White House Down is of Olympus Has Fallen. Disturbia is just a movie with a similar basic premise. Whatever lists you saw that listed should read up on the back story behind it a bit more.
