[Closed] What film should be, and never has been, remade?

Weekend at Bernies

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?

Casablanca, with Tom Hanks playing Rick Blaine and Kevin Bacon playing Victor Laszlo

🙂

Wizard of Oz?

Debbie Does Detroit, a gritty modern take on ..Dallas

Caravaggio - without all the arty modern references

Westworld.

Gregory's Girl

Restless Natives

Plus a modern day version of porky's 😉

Westworld.

Waterworld

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

Casablanca, with Tom Hanks playing Rick Blaine and Kevin Bacon playing Victor Laszlo

+1 for Dune

Logans Run.

Great concept, dire film.

Omega Man = I Am Legend

Waterworld? Can't be any worse than the original 80's turd.

Flash gordon with music from DAFT PUNK

The Dark Crystal
KRULL
Labrynth

Dark Star,

breakfast club? english version tho, would be quite a bit different 🙂
goonies?

KRULL

Flash gordon

Flesh Gordon

KRUL

HA HAHA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA Oh no stop it hurts

it was AWSOME!!...when i was 12. 😀

it was AW[s]SOME[/s]FUL!!... even when i was 12

Shoot 'Em Up with more guns and less plot

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

Waterworld, but they all drown in the first five minutes. 😈

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.

Wierd Science.

Waterworld? Can't be any worse than the original 80's turd.

what about the 1995 remake?

Thus and so,

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.

Wierd Science.

Starring...?

Soylent Green

( Like Delicatessen ,with a MacDonald franchise)

Westworld

I once saw a remake called Sexworld. Yul Brinner wasn't in it.

To baldly go where no man has gone before?

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.

breakfast club? english version tho, would be quite a bit different

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.

Hitchhikers didn't have a plot & I doubt very much if even Douglas Adams understood it. 🙂

Which is why it's great.

Starring...?

Heh, just discussing this subject with a mate and I thought the same thing completely coincidentally. Might be an interesting film if they did away with a lot of the trippy effects and navel-gazing twaddle. I'm thinking William Daniels to play HAL.

Needs to be naturally stunning, mid 20's, not stick thin. Hmmm.

I was idly thinking of Eliza Dushku.

Not that that's an unusual occurrence.
