December 4, 20196 yr Can't Be Remade 1. The Dark Knight 2. The Breakfast Club- my kids and their cousins hate this movie, we're like, "WTF is wrong with them?" Times changed... 3. Ferris Bueller's Day Off. No way possible in the hyper-connected world between teacher/ parent now. Should: Risky Business Edited December 4, 20196 yr by Iceman

December 4, 20196 yr IMHO there are a lot of older classic movies that just don't age well, but I understand the nostalgia. But many of those films would be incredible with modern film making as long as the new director didn't lose his shit. Therefore I'll restrict myself to only marginal 80's movies that could have been better with budget/production: Weird Science Highlander - it's aged really poorly Last Star Fighter Ok to re-imagine and modernize: Strange Days
December 5, 20196 yr Don't EVER remake: Ghostbusters Casino Royale Total Recall Definitely DO remake: The Godfather
December 5, 20196 yr Don't: Viva Las Vegas Dr. Zhivago The Best Year of Our Lives Might be interesting to try again: Sullivan's Travels
December 5, 20196 yr Don't remake: Boogie Nights Dazed and Confused The Big Lebowski Should be remade: Slacker, just to show how horrible Austin and West Campus have become. Scene transitions involve people handing off their e-scooters
December 5, 20196 yr Disagree on Last Starfighter, that's a great little movie much like Dragonslayer.

I agree it was a great little movie, greatly held down by the special effects. It's basically Men in Black Away Game Edition. Just look at 2001 Space Odyssey made in 64' vs Last Starfighter made in what 85' All I'm saying is great special effects could give that B+ film a new life. PS I want Tarantino to re make Repo Man... it'd be fantastic
December 5, 20196 yr Don't EVER remake: Ghostbusters Casino Royale Total Recall Definitely DO remake: The GodfatherI’d add Bad News Bears and Point Break to the don’t remake.Do remake Godfather 2.

December 5, 20196 yr cant be redone: Braveheart Saving Private Ryan El Camino Should be redone: DIamonds are Forever Live and Let Die
December 6, 20196 yr Don't remake (of those not listed): Dirty Dozen Dirty Dancing American Graffiti Remake: Grapes of Wrath.
December 6, 20196 yr Serious methheadedness going on in here thinking The Godfather 1/2 be touched. Two of the finest films ever created.

December 6, 20196 yr Giant Blazing Saddles Stalag 17 Remake Duel ( replace the Rambler with a Tesla )
December 6, 20196 yr Can't: Blazing Saddles; the Godfather; and, The Graduate Re-imagined: Jeremiah JohnsonI would agree with this except you can’t top Jeremiah Johnson. They would CGI the hell out of it with animated bears and snowy mountains like Lord of the Rings
December 6, 20196 yr There are probably a lot of bad book-to-film adaptations that could be remade, or redone as limited episode series.Agreed those are some of the best candidates.Congo is a good callI’ll nominate: The Bonfire of the VanitiesGulliver’s Travels (the Ted Danson TV miniseries was decent, the movie was awful)The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

I would just like to see a remake that wasn't through such a filtered lens. We are seeing movies now with more gritty graphics that might have played closer to realism than the Hollywood version. WWI and WW2 movies for instance. The latest Midway is a good example. I'd just like to see the same treatment given to the topic of The Depression, the dust bowl and the California migration.

I agree most of the worst cases were hidden and understand the visual effects would be greater, but this is fucking Steinbeck. It's in the editing that tells the story.

December 7, 20196 yr Never: Vertigo North by Northwest The Godfather 2 (perfect movie) Remake: The recent version of The Alamo. Do the Ron Howard “R” rated version. I like John Hancock and most of his movies but he really blew it on this one, IMHO. As corny as John Wayne’s film was, at least it had emotion and made you feel for the heroes.

Yeah, but the most recent version of The Alamo at least paid some semblance of attention to historical accuracy.
December 8, 20196 yr Can't: Ball Fondlers: the Movie Ball Fondlers 2 Ball Fondlers 4 Should: Ball Fondlers 3
