You know that.

Oh and if one or more of them are remakes of some obscure, unknown original from like the 1940's then those dont count either since no one cares or has seen the original. So dont go playing that card either.

Yes. But you also know that people often lump these tentpole films into the same stew as remakes and reboots. I don't think that's even up for argument. And I don't believe that I listed any remakes of films from the 40s. Films like Aladdin was a remake of a '92 animated film, while The Lion King was a live action version of a '94 animated film (not to mention Shakespeare's "Hamlet" for that matter). A Star Is Born from last year was a remake of the '37, '54, and '76 versions. Then you have films like Carrie, Night of the Living Dead, Pride and Prejudice, Beauty and the Beast -- ALL of which received multiple remakes.
