    Not a sequel, but a remake.

    Wizard of Oz?

    Good question.

    I’d like to see a modern ‘Silent Running’

    & ‘Omega Man’

    Also, i’d like to see the the LOTR films done again, properly.

    Dark Star, although I really don’t think you could make it better as a film. Glossier and slicker, sure. Not necessarily better.

    I thought Omega Man had been done at some point, but under a different name?

    Dune.

    I love the original, but it was generally panned.
    Would love to see it as a commercial success.

    Westworld.

    Good shout.
    In fact, most 70’s Sci-Fi films with modern efects would work in my book

    oh yes, with peter lorre’s part being played by kevin kline doing one of his frightfully witty foreign accents

    Shoot ‘Em Up with more guns and less plot

    Is that possible? I love Shoot Em Up!

    I’d like to see someone try, but any remake has to include the jumping off the bridge and shooting the sunroof off the car to land in the drivers seat and drive off scene.
    And more carrots

    Star Wars 1, 2 and 3.
    This time, done properly.

    To be honest, I don’t think there’s a need to remake films, especially as hollywood usually ruins them.

    Star Wars 1, 2 and 3.

    I was about to say Star Wars, but I meant the original trilogy.

    It’d never happen, and the Internet would crash, but I reckon a reboot of A New Hope a la Battlestar Galactica would be an interesting project.

    In fact, I think that’s worth a thread of its own. BRB.

    For a remake to be worthwhile the story has to be good, and the original had to fail to deliver the goods.

    Hitchikers guide to the galaxy (the whole series of books) could be so good, but it really needs a director who understands it and drives it as a project.

    Two Lane Blacktop:

    With Justin Beiber as the driver.
    Alan Carr as the mechanic.
    Jordan as the girl & Lenny Henry as GTO.

    No more remakes – please.

    Alien vs. Predator.

    Two amazing films, one very weak hash.
    Every time this film is on, I watch and long to like it, but it is terrible and leaves me feeling numb.
    The Predators are still awesome, the Aliens are just fodder and the human characters are just hollow shells kicking around on the Crystal Maze set. It is literally a computer game brought to life without any consideration for cinematography, script or character building. A commercial film.

    Would it be the same without Gleason?

    “Well well… Here we are.”

    I’d like to see a 2001: A Space Odyssey remake. The idea of an evil computer taking over a space ship deep in space is awesome. Just cut out all the boring crap, and have more of the interesting stuff.

    Also a version of Into The Wild, but with more beauty, less annoying whining about daddy issues.
