What movies would you like to see remade?

[rr2418]

1. Ten Commandments - This movie would be awsome with todays special fx

2. Pearl Harbor - Well, this would not be a remake but a movie about the "actual attack" as oppose to a love story with the attack as a back drop like 2001's "Pearl Harbor". Think of it as a remake of Tora! Tora! Tora! with Spielberg directing, that would be awsome!! He could do to this movie what he did to Saving Private Ryan.

[cornbread]

Garbage Pail Kids.

[mullet]

Talladega Nights

[Nbadan]

Planet of the Apes, except this time with reptilians...

[SCdac]

Not set out to ruin good movies or anything, but with the right direction and budget, I could see these injected with some freshness.

The Flash
The Shadow (already in the works I just noticed)
The Running Man
The Never Ending Story
Clash of the Titans

[J.T.]

I'd like the LOTR trilogy to be redone by someone who will not cut out critical parts of the final book, and important parts of the other two. Obviously, this will take LOTR from 3 movies to 6, but since each LOTR book is comprised of two books, I don't see how this is a problem.

Peter Jackson can die for all I care. You do not remove the scouring of the Shire from Return of the King and expect fans to like you. It could've been in ROTK had they not decided to spend all of their budget on a CGI battle orgy. Even then I would only moderately accept this trilogy.

I wish Lucas would release a directors cut version of the prequel trilogy (well, the II and III anyway), digitally removing all of Hayden Christiansen's scenes and replacing him with someone whose acting doesn't look like a trainwreck played in reverse slow motion.

I don't know about remake but a sequel to Death Race would be awesome

[desflood]

The Running Man
I'd like to see this also, but I'd rather it be made to follow the Bachman (King) story than just a rehash of the original movie.

I'm excited about Rob Zombie's new Halloween that's coming out.

[monosylab1k]

Blade Runner. i thought the original was way overrated. a remake more faithful to the book would be alot better.

Mortal Kombat was a good movie and had the same elements of Street Fighter II (Tournament, fight etc.), yet why did MK come out so good and they f'ed up SFII. Guile was supposed to be AMERICAN, yet he has thick French accent and all the other characters were messed up as well, yeah it was funny the way they murdered SFII, but people who like the SF series their laughs lasted until the end of the movie and what followed was disappointment and rage.

[THE ONE AND ONLY]

Funny stuff. Fez as Tony. I would pay to see it.

I want to see Coonskin or pretty much any Ralph Bakshi cartoons remade (Wizards, Heavy Traffic, Fritz...)

and maybe The Warriors.

Ryan Reynolds would make a very good Flash. Has that diry blond hair. Can beef up for a role (Smokin Aces, Blade 3). Acting has gotten better over the years.

FLASH GORDON

:lol :lol :lol

Anyone who hasnt seen any of the movies I previously mentioned doesnt know cars.... a man who doesnt know cars is NOT a man.


Who honestly knew what "The Wraith" was before they saw my post and googled it? And can you name the car without google?

*hint* its a car Daimler Chrysler made and was a pace car for a bit back in the day.

Also, Death Race 2000 was Sylvester Stalone's first movie.

[phyzik]

BTW

DEATH RACE 3000

[cornbread]

I would like to see "Game of Death" remade starring Tony Jaa.

Normally, remaking any Bruce Lee movie would be a bad idea but Game of Death is the exception. Bruce Lee is actually only in about 15% of the movie due to his death taking place before production wrapped. This movie could have been one of his best but the numerous scenes with stand-ins really cheese is it up.

Tony Jaa is the only guy out there who could fill Bruce's shoes IMO.

Isn't Wally West a red head? That's why I picked the cynical Topher Grace...

But I suppose Ryan could work as The Flash considering that Topher was nabbed by the Marvel Universe first.

Smokey and the Bandit
That can and will never be duplicated anywhere near the original.


"give me a diablo sandwich and Dr. Pepper. I'm in a GOTDAMN hurry!"

there's so many great lines in that movie, but i'm afraid they're a little too "nappy" for this day and age.

This strays from the topic a bit, but I'd like to see Where the Wild Things Are be made into a movie. I loved that book as a kid.

Another one I thought of is The Cell. That movie had awesome imagery, but Vince and J-Low's big rump ruined it.

Rayden doesn't have any siginifance in MK I, they made him look cool in the 1st game, that by public demand they HAD to make him significant in other MK's. I could care less who he was played in the movie. MK at least followed the story and was enjoyable from a fan's perspective

i bet you one hundred dollars that i could beat your ass in street fighter II or street fighter II turbo with any character against any character, without getting knocked out.
:rolleyes I'll beat you with any fireball motion, charge or 360 character in any Street Fighter game, I,II,III, Alpha, Zero,SNK,EX whatever. Too bad we can't actually play and it's just talk over the internet.

Justice Leauge would never work out, it would have to be like 4 hours long and it would cost too much and who would the villian be?

i take it you're not familiar with lambert's body of work. start off with fortress and gideon and work your way up to highlander.

[RogerIsEatingASandwich]

Tank Girl
I really enjoy Tank Girl but, if they would have let Rachel Talalay do what she wanted to do, it would have been awesome.

City of The Living Dead, with a better ending.

Less than Zero. They should stick to the book, and get better actors this time around.

[SCdac]

This strays from the topic a bit, but I'd like to see Where the Wild Things Are be made into a movie. I loved that book as a kid.

Yeah, as mentioned, it's in the works. I personally can't wait. Loved the story (and illustrations!), and the crew working on the movie looks like a good group (Jonze, Whitaker, etc).

[AZLouis]

Revenge of the Nerds and Porky's

The Killers, The Great Escape, and Inherit the Wind for me.

[ShoogarBear]

They need to remake Memento with Gilbert Gottfried in the lead.

The other two Omen movies would be nice to see.

[L.I.T]

The other two Omen movies would be nice to see.

Yeah, after that crappy attempt at the first one no way. For whatever reason, horror movies are incredibly difficult to remake. Probably because if it was memorable in the first place there was some hook that's nearly impossible to replicate. This is why, of course, I'm really really apprehensive about the Halloween remake.

Disturbia was a decent rehash of Rear Window, I'd like to see someone tackle Vertigo.

Well, the first one, the original first one, had Gregory mothafuckin' Peck. That's a tough act to follow. It also had the musical badassery of Jerry Goldsmith, making it even tougher to replicate, but I think it could have been a lot worse.

I wanted a company to make all the movies I liked when I was little and make them R rated. For instance, I liked Rookie of the Year when I was little, but now it's almost unwatchable becuase it is so P.C. I would love it if Henry would say somehitng like "mother fucker" after walking a guy, or stuff like that.

I think if this could be done the company would have a huge audience. I bet all 20-somethings have movies they loved when they were young, but have outgrown the dialogue

I wouldn't like to see any movies remade.

There have been a few remakes that I've liked, despite all efforts not to, but I've never watched a good movie and thought to myself, "You know, I really wish someone would remake this."

[Spurminator]

I've never watched a good movie and thought to myself, "You know, I really wish someone would remake this."

Me neither, but I often think that about bad movies that screw up a good premise.

[Avitus1]

The new show is retarded. The actors are wooden, the show is trying to be overly serious, and the worst part is that Ming the Merciless is some pussy looking bitch.

[monosylab1k]

Even though it just came out, somebody needs to remake Miami Vice again. To my shock, Michael Mann made one of the shittiest movies i've ever seen. the final shootout was incredible, but I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't seen 2 previous hours of complete suckage.

[L.I.T]

After the brilliance of Collateral I was seriously let down by Michael Mann. The directing and cinematography was damn good, but the acting was atrocious. Great soundtrack though.

[monosylab1k]

i just wish the script went somewhere, or that there was some more action.

that whole movie is "Crockett & Tubbs travel undercover to exotic location to meet up with drug dealers, then travel back to Miami, then talk to other drug dealers, then the drug dealers come talk to them, then Crockett fucks an Asian girl whose acting is so atrocious you can almost see her eyes reading the cue cards, then they go to another exotic location to talk to drug dealers, then the drug dealers talk to them, then the drug dealers talk amongst each other, then they go talk to them again, and FINALLY some shit goes down."

not to mention no characters are introduced ever, no back story is given ever, and of course everyone had better things to do than learn the shitty script so they all read off cue cards.

even shorter version of Miami Vice is "talk talk talk fuck talk talk talk talk talk cue cards talk talk talk talk (by this time you're asleep) talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk talk MASSIVE BADASS GUNFIGHT"

[mardigan]

Alien vs Predator, and have it rated R and not written by someone who never saw any Aliens movies or Predator movies, I could have written a better script than that
