As in, films you like but that wouldn't be harmed by a remake. So, for example, you couldn't remake Ferris as that would be tantamount to blasphemy, but a remake of this wouldn't be too much of a bad thing,

Could even have Toby Jones playing the role his father did in the original.
I much prefer the second Thomas Crowne Affair over the first.
Keeping it Brosnan, I'd like to see a remake of the Tailor of Panama but more as a tense spy thriller than the comedy the original one was.
48Hrs.
Set in Accrington, with Peter Kay and Dennis Waterman.
At the end of Firefox they promised us Firefox Down. Still waiting.
The one I'm scratching my head at is the proposed remake of The Matrix. All but the first film were shit. Are they really that low on ideas in Hollywood?
Dracula
Christmas Carol
Point Break

Yes.
The last starfighter
World war Z
Lethal Weapon.
Set in Oswaldtwistle with Simon Armitage and David 'Bumble' Lloyd.
I don't feel we should overexpose the Kay/Waterman thing at this stage.

Yeah I know they spun off a series , but it get's a full on 10 on my Bobbinsometer.
Sacrilege I tells thee!!
The new point break is freakin' awesome.
Edit: mainly for dropping this beast during the boat party scene
Dune without the ropey special effects and Sting
World War Z with the original ending, but there's a sequel coming for that.
I literally never knew Freddie Jones was Toby Jones' dad!
In Dune, can we keep the Toto soundtrack?

^ most films involving Sting could be improved by a remake without him. Stormy Monday, Brimstone & Treacle, Plenty, Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels - need I go on?
I'm going with Day of the Jackal & the Odessa File; both over forty years old and with a good story.

Obviously, The Phantom Menace, The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith!

Bellboy!! Bellboy!!!
Boys from Brazil
I wonder if some of the WW2 films would be worth re-visiting...
Surprised they have not done the goonies yet that would make sad.
You can remake the people under the stairs with extra twisted
Not a remake but I'd love some more Strange Days.
I'm going with Day of the Jackal & the Odessa File; both over forty years old and with a good story.
But both pretty much perfect, tbh.
They can give The War of the Worlds another go. Two major film attempts that failed to do the book proper justice with a proper period setting (and the less said about other straight-to-video attempts the better).
But I'd rather someone with a brain cell moved into Hollywood and thought up something new and original for a change, or at least an exec who's prepared to take the risk.
There's been talk of a dambusters remake for years, Peter Jackson in charge. Not sure what happened to it though.
I'm going with Day of the Jackal
No, no, no! The original is one of my favourite films and is unlikely to be improved. Certainly not by Hollywood.
And, it's already had a terrible remake.
Edit: beaten to it by Rusty Spanner
Dune
Thunderbirds
They should never remake any films. It's just lazy.
Dune is allegedly on its way

another flawed masteriece with a brilliant soundrack (despite the great cast)
The Keep
Blame it on Rio 😈
I'm going with Day of the Jackal & the Odessa File; both over forty years old and with a good story.
Both are sacred IMHO.
Spider-Man could do with a remake...
Hah. The irony is, spiderman and other comics really do have tons of alternate tellings and versions that could legitimately be made into parallel movies, rather than reboots/remakes. But every time they make spider man, which is every 72 hours, they seem to want to remake the same spider man.
the carry on films
Dune would be interesting as it is great but flawed
Clash of the titans with proper effects
oh gaaawd yes

Totally agreed.
Clash of the titans with proper effects
Again?
Naked lunch could stand a re-make. The Cronenberg one was fine, good effort, but just felt a bit constrained IIRC. I think modern film-making techniques could let it all hang out a bit more.
OTOH - Honestly don't think you could better Lynch's Dune. Getting that book down into a single film basically can't be done, but it's hard to see a modern CGI SciFi treatment coming close to capturing the spirit of the book like that film did.
Groundhog Day.
Just rerelease the original 😆
Point Break
Just... No!
They should never remake any films. It's just lazy.
There are plenty of films that, while worth watching, can be improved in some way, and plenty that were hopelessly compromised by demands of the studio, or all sorts of other issues.
If you honestly think that the movie of Zelazney's novel [i]Damnation Alley[/i] shouldn't be remade by a director with more than a couple of brain cells to rub together, then I'll happily wee in your boots!
Zelazney demanded every reference to any connection with him or his book to be removed, quite rightly, too, 'cos it's utter shite!
The book, however, is a very good after-the-apocalypse story, with a good anti-hero lead, the last of the Hells Angels, a small detail the studio couldn't cope with so they made him a white bread, all-American clean-cut hero.
Easy Rider could stand a remake.
A decent version of An American Werewolf In Paris would be welcome.

We were discussing the new Dune at work today and how infinitely better it could be than the original. A colleague claimed "I could do better - even if I made it in Excel"
