The Movie Remake Thread

[Der Nister]

I was chatting with a friend yesterday and she mentioned some movies that she thought if done right, would be great remakes.

So I thought why not start a thread? Are there any movies you like/love that if haven't yet been re-done, you think should be?

Here's my pick.

Logan's Run (Great idea - it just suffers from bad special effects due to lack of technology)

Blade Runner (Even though it's great as is maybe they could just re vamp the effects and leave the rest alone)

I'll think of more later.

I wish they would remake Crossrods - Ralph Macchio is fucking annoying and unconvincing in this one. Now, if only they could get Steve Vai to re-do his role because his performance was brilliant.

They did remake Logans Run, it was called "The Island" lol. Remakes in general are a terrible idea. The only movie I would like to see remade is "Versus". But in reality I dont want them to remake it becuase they would probably make it worse.

The Guns of Navarone...and any movies dealing with Italian or African battles. Yeah, they were important too and they showed our nation that even minorities could fight and win.

Paul McCartney needs to re edit 'Let it Be' (the Beatles movie) badly.

I have a copy and after watching it I can only guess that the original editors were stoned. lmao!!!

Manos the hands of fate.

Almost ANYTHING would be an improvement. When the scientists from MST3K apologize for how bad the film is, you just *know* it sucks.

Anyone think that in our lifetime we shall see a remake of the original Star Wars trilogy?

[Slept with ghost]

Well they added all that extra cgi crap to them already so thats bad enough.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

Ooh! Ooh! pick me! I has ideaz!

An evil-alien-robot movie from the '50s called Kronos

Reptilicus

5 Million Years to Earth...then again, maybe Ghosts of Mars would count as said remake.

The Andromeda Strain

Damnation Alley

Laserblast...nah, fuck that. No saving that one.

...but most of all, the world desperately needs a remake of...

PSYCHOMANIA

I think it will happen when Lucas dies. probably some lame "in memory" type of thing,

I would not consider them remakes, just added footage. Dont get me wrong, han shot first...but the movies arent much different.

I kinda wonder what they could do with The Breakfast Club now. But I think it would be a travisty to remake a John Hughes flick.

[TheGimp]

iam kinda on the fence about the new Friday The 13th movie i love me my slasher flicks but i hope they dont screw it up like they did with Jason X and Freddy Vs Jason and try to keep it with the cool old school creepiness

[Simon Bar Sinister]

MTV Films has optioned The Warriors for a possible remake. It's been a couple of years, though, and they're apparently no closer to starting pre-production than they were on Day 1.

Do not even think about remaking blade-runner.... the style of that film is too close to perfection to ruin.... besides there have been so many bad imitations of it, what's the point?

I wold think that Ridley Scott would have conniption fits and seizures to have his movie remade. Personally, I would be more than honked.

Yeah, the poor man has gone through enough tragedy already having witnessed the death of the Alien franchise.

[phee]

I will personally kill anyone who tries to remake Blade Runner..... let it be said.

It's already heading that way. If they wanted to give Jason a small makeover that is fine with me, but why make him out to be track runner. It takes away from the characters originality. However, there is a slight chance that we might end up actually enjoying this new Jason Voorhee's. I just cannot see anyone play him like Kane Hodder did.

[Necromanta]

Lulz @ a remake of Blade Runner.
