If they screw up Point Break, the sign will be long gone before Hollywood gets around to Predator.
I wish they'd remake total movie skidmarks like Secrets & Lies... when oh when will Hollywood see sense?

Point Break is one of the greatest movies ever.
People who disagree simply don't understand. Take pity on them for they know not what they're missing.
Hollywood is remaking it because the money men are so scared of failure they insist on everything being SOMETHING YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD OF!
Hence the diet of sequels, remakes and films based on video games/board games, TV shows etc etc.
PS
Planet of the Apes was re-made, in 2001 by Tim Burton and starring Marky Mark. One of the worst films I've ever seen.

ermmm because the original (1967) was a satire with regards to the Bond series - so Casino Royale (2006) was not a re-make as such as the Bond series had never done a film called Casino Royale.Point Break is a great film & Con Air is class because it deals with the whole plot during the credits leaving the rest of the film for action. Also it has John Cusack who is always great.

Thought point break was brilliant when I watched it at the cinema aged 15 (!) not seen it since and I doubt it will have aged well (like me)

It's so retro that the neon boards and old-skool Oakley logos are cool again.

Not true!
It's a bit like 12 Angry Men, High Noon and Doctor Strangelove in that respect. A bit old maybe, but still nice and shiny... Not at all like Con-Air.

Doctor Strangelove
over rated, bought the dvd as its a "classic", black comedy my arse, laughed once maybe smiled on two other occasions. Not seen the other 2.Con air hmm.

any film that includes the line
young, dumb and full of cum
is a winner in my book
a remake just shows that hollywood has run out of ideas

I think this is how the plotting meeting went:
Exec 1: I've got it!
Exec 2: Got what?
Exec 1: Cons! We'll do a movie about cons!
Exec 2 (unimpressed): Been done already.
Exec 1 (deflated): Dammit... well... how about... I'm just spit-ballin' here... Cons on a plane?
Exec 2: Hot damn, you've got something there.
Exec 1: Sweet. Let's go get shedded.

Oh god, *thinks of Vin Diesel in XXX*
Oh yes. The utterly appalling boarding scene.................It does, however, remind me of that other cinematic masterpiece with some of the worst casting in living memory - The Fast and the Furious.
