movies they SHOULD remake

[eyeh8u]

what movies do you think they should remake?


me, i want to see a great gatsby remake

[Leetonidas]

Back to the Future

Part 2 only though

[cornbread]

Silver Bullet.

[Red Hawk #21]

On first thought, I would say "Menace II Society". But I wonder if there'd be a need to, the movie is a classic.

:lmao Menace II Society is a poor mans version of Boyz in the Hood

[CuckingFunt]

Menace II Society is miles better than Boyz N the Hood.

Miles.

[Zelophehad]

Menace II Society is miles better than Boyz N the Hood.

Miles.

Nah, Boyz in the Hood is a modern classic that dick slaps Menace II Society. Although, they're both awesome, Boyz is the O.G. and is much better.(1)(2)(3)(4)(5)

Showgirls

[grindmouse]

La Bamba 2 Richie lives!

[thedong]

Wild Things.

Miranda Kerr playing the Denise Richards Role

Megan Fox playing the Neve Campbell

An upcoming actor by the name of Jasper playing the Matt Dillon role

and Micky Rourke playing the Kevin Bacon role, showing his dong in the process.

[thedong]

Although as much as I want to get it on with Megan Fox, I want my movie to be a hit, and Megan has this box office curse going on at the moment, so replace Megan with Kristin Stewart.

[thedong]

In all seriousness, no one should ever remake a classic, but films that had much hyped but ended being a disappointment should be redone.

Matrix Reloaded and Revolution could have been much better imo.

The Last Airbender, again great potential, fucked it up.

Kill Bill, not because I want to redo the first 2, but I want to add a 3rd one. The revenge of Bill's long lost son.

[howbouthemspurs]

Ladybugs! With Denzel Washington playing the Rodney Dangerfield role and Justin Bieber playing the cross dressing dude on the soccer team!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104670/

[thedong]

The Da Vinci Code also had so much hype coming in, but ended up being a disappointment.

[Nbadan]

I could write Independence Day 2...not a remake but a sequel....

,,,a good remake would be the Ten Commandments

[Muser]

Movies shouldn't be re-made.

[mojorizen7]

Soul Plane.

[JMarkJohns]

Ladybugs! With Denzel Washington playing the Rodney Dangerfield role and Justin Bieber playing the cross dressing dude on the soccer team!

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104670/

This, if for no other reason, maybe Bieber gets depressed and offs himself the way the original cross-dressing dude on the female soccer team did.

:hang

[spursncowboys]

Gigli and Sparkle

[spursncowboys]

Godfather part 3 with all the roles being played by jews. Don Micheal Corleon- i'm thinking Gilbert Godfried.

Story had potential. Diff actors as well.

Don't know if you're being serious. Why the hell would you replace a comedian with someone who's never even done a comedic role?

[Wild Cobra]

Best Little Whore House in Texas

Crocodile Dundee

Ghost

Heaven Can Wait?

M*A*S*H

Porkey's

Red Dawn.... is in production...

Smokey and the bandit?

The Last Starfighter… It's a fun movie. Love to see it with modern CGI.

The Vikings

The Witches of Eastwick

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea... Who can replace Barbara Eden though?

Wargames... wait, they did that one... I need to buy it!

I don't relate to that movie, or the kid cross-dressing to cheat. If you like Rodney, then Back to School would be a neat movie to remake.

[Thompson]

The Star Wars prequel trilogy. And make sure George Lucas is nowhere near it. Completely redo the story, everything. They've made their 6-7 hour long toy commercials, now make some movies.

[JudynTX]

Little Darlings, 1980. :lol

[Muser]

Well the just remade Let The Right One In, and named it Let Me In. The first one was a very good flick.

Je19v3VItFM

The first one was amazing.

[Thompson]

I actually thought those three got better along the way. Going from bad to ok, to good. Good thing about George is, he's probably already thinking about remaking all six.:lol

They did get better along the way, but they went from blow-your-brains-out sucking to just 'meh.' I want more from Star Wars, something like ESB.

[benefactor]

I'm a bit surprised no one has mentioned Masters of the Universe yet. It could be pretty bad ass done 300 style.

That Dolph Lundgren movie is something no one should ever lay eyes on again.

[Wild Cobra]

God, I loved The Empire Strikes back when it came out in the late 70's.

It did help that I had some windowpane though...

[Wild Cobra]

I decided to find some youtubes. Some of you are young enough, you might not know what these are:

uh, no

Agreed. I re-watched Menace II society recently and Boyz N the hood felt much more real.

[baseline bum]

Menace II Society is miles better than Boyz N the Hood.

Miles.

I strongly disagree with this. Meance II Society looks like a bad caricature, while the characters in Boys n the Hood actually had some depth.

[Spurminator]

The Grapes of Wrath

I'd also like to see Idiocracy re-imagined as a TV series.

Warner Bros. Remaking The NeverEnding Story



WWaLxFIVX1s

[Xevious]

Silent Hill and a slew of other video game films that have sucked ass.

[ChumpDumper]

Heaven Can WaitThat itself was a remake of Here Comes Mr. Jordan and was reremade in 2001 as Down to Earth.

[spursncowboys]

The Last Star Fighter is a great idea for a remake.

[Fabbs]

No Country for Old Men
When Anton Chigurh crosses into Mexico and looks for Llwellen Moss, have Llw and his wife Carla Jean set a trap for him, catch him and then bitch slap him into next Tuesday.
He dies a slow death with monoslobGETSowned sobbing at his side.

Llw and Carla Jean take the money and retire in Mexico.

[Fabbs]

Avatar.

Instead of the Blue People becoming as vicious and violent as the Army/Corporate greedpigs, have the Blue People turn the animals on them at the beginning of their provocation, not the end.

The animals are wiping out the Corporate Army threat and a good number of Army soldiers decided the Corporate Pig Cause is bogus and surrender to the Blue People. Thus Blue World is returned to it's peace loving state. New Avatar guy Jake Sully marries blue chick Neytiri and they have 14 kids.

The Spurs sign Jake Sully to play PF and the Army of Stoopid Pop Apologists mourn the benching of Soft Dick and Matty Bonner.

It would be funny to see Denzel in a comedic role!

[John Terry]

Forrest Gump is definitely one of the movies that you'll never feel tired of no matter how many times they've been remade. The only difficulty IMHO is you can hardly find anyone capable of acting this role as well as Tom Hanks did and Tom Hanks is too old for this role already.

[SA210]

I always wanted to see another sequel to Fright Night and bring back that nice guitar solo from the film, and also the Professional with Natalie Portman being really bad ass now, maybe some flashbacks with Jean Reno "Leon", but new scenes of him in flashbacks kind of like Mick came back on that one scene in Rocky V.

Maybe I'll get to do it one day. :hat

Man, if only a great sequel to HEAT could be made too. lol

Movies just aren't as good as they used to be, by far.

The Star Wars prequel trilogy. And make sure George Lucas is nowhere near it. Completely redo the story, everything. They've made their 6-7 hour long toy commercials, now make some movies.

Sadly, the original trilogy actors are too old now but I always thought Timothy Zahn's Star Wars "Thrawn" novel trilogy should have been brought to the big screen before any prequels.

[rr2418]

SILENT RAGE.

My favorite Chuck Norris movie! The bad guy never did die, so it would great if a sequel would be made. It wouldn't be a remake, but a sequel would do.

[Thompson]

I have heard that they were contemplating a 'sequel' trilogy, but I don't know if it was centered on that series or not. If they did do a sequel trilogy, but if they decided to recast the characters, who would you pick to play Han, Luke, etc.?

I'm kind of afraid they'd do Ben Affleck as Solo and Matt Damon as Luke. They do have the camaraderie aspect down, I guess.

I never thought I'd hear anyone mention that movie. That's one of my all-time favorite low budget "B" movies...and my favorite of Chuck Norris as well. It doesn't need to be re-made. It's fine the way it is. The killer in the film always reminded me of a Michael Myers ripoff :lol

I'm not a fan of either actor. I'm not sure who could be re-cast for the original trilogy characters but I would like some unknowns in the roles...no well known stars. They would have to be middle-aged if they were to continue the characters right after ROTJ.

Fright Night is awesome! One of my favorite horror films.

Sucks ass that Hollywood is remaking it.. :bang

Seems like every good horror film from the 70's-80's are being remade. :(

[CuckingFunt]

Agreed. I re-watched Menace II society recently and Boyz N the hood felt much more real.


I strongly disagree with this. Meance II Society looks like a bad caricature, while the characters in Boys n the Hood actually had some depth.

Having grown up in the Los Angeles area during the time both films were made, and being very well acquainted with the people/lifestyle depicted, it's Boyz N the Hood that feels like a caricature. Especially after almost 20 years. Which is not to say it's a bad film, mind you. I don't think it has aged very well in certain regards (all that rayon is just a bad junior high flashback anymore), but it is very well made/acted.

Kane and O-Dogg just seem like one-dimensional comic book characters. Doughboy is portrayed the same except in the view of those closest to him: Tre and Rick. When Dough is around them he doesn't have to front and can act like a real person, but to everyone else he's portrayed just like the characters in Menace II Society, as the asshole starting shit with crackheads, pulling out his gun when bloods walk by and run their mouths, disrespecting every woman in sight, and so on.

Plus, MC Eiht as a gangster seems like a stretch; I loved it when DJ Quik killed him on wax for taking the G out his name. :lol

[Jacob1983]

Hellraiser, Duel, Maximum Overdrive, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and why not Point of No Return.

[Zelophehad]

I would have said Dreamscape ironically but its plot is way too similar to Inception so that's not going to happen. Truthfully, I think Hollywood is too busy planning Paul Blart sequels to remake a cult sci fi classic like that. Instead of an updated Time Bandits as well, we'll get Paul Blart 2: The Return of Blart, Paul Blart: Rent A Cop, and Paul Blart 3: Federal Blarshall.

The fact that you didn't include a Blart sequel in your list that is set in outerspace is a massive oversight and a disrespect to "Jason X", "Critters 4:Critters in Space", "Muppets from Space", and of course "Leprechaun 4: In Space".

[PakiDan]

Wow... why would they remake such a great film so soon? I hope it was purely for the sake of translating it to English... I hope they did NOT CHANGE A THING!

True, tbh. Paul Blart: Space Cop has a nice ring to it imo.

The opening song at the beginning of the movie sets the tone. Brian Libby is the deranged character that won't die. Great movie!!!! :lol

Pearl Harbor - Without the love triangle plot. Maybe Spielberg and Tom Hanks can team up to do this remake. I'm thinking in the same lines as "Tora! Tora! Tora!" and the spfx of "Saving Private Ryan".


Midway

Now i knew there were two earlier releases, but i didn't know about the 2001. I'll have to look that up, and maybe buy it.

Thanx... for once.

I like the story line.


----edit---

Oh...

A bastardization from the storyline. Should have known, coming from you.

My thanx is withdrawn.

[Wild Cobra]

The Last Star Fighter is a great idea for a remake.
I just found it in BluRay a few days ago, and added it to my collection. Bought the original "Clash of the Titans" and new on as well.

I'm going to have a lot of regular DVD's to give away as I replace them.

[Wild Cobra]

How about Stripes? That would be a fun one to remake.

Check "Death Sentence" with Kevin Bacon. It's pretty much a Death Wish remake.

Be as high and mighty as you'd like, but don't pretend to know what I grew up in/around because I named a couple of cities.
