What Movie Remake Would You Most Like To See?
 

If you could remake an old Hollywood Classic what would you choose?

The Last Man On Earth

The Great Escape

close encounters of the third kind ;)

King Kong..and my wishes will come true in 2005 :)

Peter Jackson is directing :thumbsup

Honorable mentions..

Superman
Midway, Dirty Dozen (or alot of WWII classics)

Matrix Reloaded
Matrix Revolutions

Giligans Island

lol @ matrix remakes...they did fuck those up...first one was the shit though...

I'd rather make something NEW.

Tron

...
 

blah...

Herbie the love bug

I know.........this will be awesome!

:thumbsup

Its in the hands of the master now.

Noting this thread, the remake I'd really like to see isn't much of a remake; I wouldn't dare fuck with this classic, but I'd like to see the shark scenes in "Jaws" redone digitally & tastefully.

Its an all-timer I know, but I think it would be a great idea and make a ton of cash.

:2 cents:

Citizan Kane and nobody should remake Jaws!!! :feels-hot :feels-hot

Not a remake per se, just using a digital shark, and tastefully done; the shark looks way too phony in parts and it tarnishes an other-wise brilliant movie, one of the best IMO.

I mean, really, how could anyone other than Robert Shaw be Quint?

Superman Series

Man did those get bad in a hurry after the 1st one........and even that one wasn't all that.

That's just stupid, like the digital shaks in Deep Blue Sea were convincing.

how about deepthroat

close encounters would be great i loved that movie , its tough because sometimes u dont really want to see the original classic ruined ..

How about :321GFY

why mess with success? they are rightfully dubbed Classics for a reason.

Wizard of Oz - Tim Burton should do this
Metropolis

Yeah, movies like "the longest day" and "eagles nest" would be awesome :thumbsup

Black Sabbath Definatley needs redone. Boris Karloff was good but would be wicked updated

Someone needs to do a remake of the Taboo series! :)

Ben Hur:

Ben Hur: Jim Cavizel
Mesalla: Guy Pearce

:thumbsup

Not a Hollywood classic by any means, but a remake of American Psycho would be nice. The book is awesome, the movie sucked ass...

New Wave Hookers


:winkwink: :thumbsup

I would LOVE to see a remake of Clash of the Titans. That movie kicks ass, even if it is 20+ years old. :thumbsup

I wish they would come up with their own fucking scripts and stories and leave the classics or older good movies as is.

Fantasy Island in a porn version :thumbsup

The best idea yet! :thumbsup

The Count of Monte Cristo fan?

While I prefer originals, this thread is about remakes, so I would say:
Rollerball (I'm aware of the recent remake, but have erased all memory of that wretched piece of dogshit from my mind)
Slap Shot
Spiderbaby (with Sid Haig reprising his role as Ralph from the original ;-)) In a way Rob Zombie's House Of 1000 Corpses had a ton of references to this 60's classic and could almost be considered a remake...nevermind, that would be an homage ;-)))

None of them would be as good as the original but I would like to see the following movies revisited:

1) I Am Legend - made twice as The Last Man On Earth with Vincent Price & The Omega Man with Charlton Heston

2) Race With The Devil

3) Rosemary's Baby 0 I liked the sequel, Whatever Happened To Rosemary's Baby, but there could be more movies done (if The Exorcist and The Omen could have them why not this one)

4) Dark Shadows - two movies were made, House of Dark Shadows and Night of Dark Shadows. A third one was planned but never made. With the new Dark Shadows series coming from the WB (hopefully this fall), maybe another movie will be made.

6) Hawk The Slayer

7) Dungeons & Dragons done right - one is supposedly in the works but I hope they took notes from Lord of the Rings

8) Superman series - a new Batman movie has already started production so maybe the Man of Steel will get a reboot soon

Fuck remakes. Great movies don't need an update.

Evil Dead 2..with more $$$ and gore then ever before :thumbsup

Classics are just that, classics but I would love to see The Thing redone with todays technology!
