The UNREMAKEABLE Movie Thread!!

[Compi716]

This thread is for everyone to express their opinions on what movies should NEVER be remade, under ANY circumstance. My picks:

The Godfather Trilogy
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Some Like It Hot, and ALL Billy Wilder films
Schindler's List
The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Jaws
Close Encounters of the Third Kind

How about you guys?

 

[Mr. Credible]

i would watch a Jaws remake. although i'll admit i'm not a big fan of the original. i thought it was way boring. the shark did kick some major ass, though, and it is the reason i won't swim in the ocean, or a lake... or a dark pool

in my opinion, movie that can't be remade are movies who's actors MADE their roles what they were.

it'd be like making a Friends movie with none of the friends... for lack of a better example.

 

[XCharlieX]

The Terminator and T2. That would be god awfully stupid. They could redo T3 though.

 

[ImRonBurgundy?]

The Matrix won't be remade I don't think.

 

[Donnie Darko]

The Shawshank Redemption

 

[primemover]

They should never remake 'Little Man'.

Godfather Films, Scarface, shawshank, the crow, goodfellas If I think of more Ill post.

 

[Immortalfire]

Gone With The Wind, Clash Of The Titans

 

[XCharlieX]

Alien movies

1 and 2 shouldnt be touched and while i feel alien 3 was a respectable addition, remaking it may be the key to more good films.

 

[The Question]

Schindler's List. That is cimima perfection right there.

 

[Mee]

Clash Of The Titans

I thought that was in the works?

I'll add to the list the Lord of the Rings trilogy and Star Wars.

 

[JLBats]

They should remake Maltese Falcon with an all rapper cast.

 

[Mee]

They should remake Maltese Falcon with an all rapper cast.

I just got an idea, "Dawg Day Afternoon". Real gangstas, Fitty Cent, P. Diddy, Jay-Z, it's genious!

 

[Joker]

Casablanca, Citizen Kane...Dawn Of The Dead (too late)

 

[Dr.Dude]

Evil Dead, goddammit.

 

[gvcool2]

king kong...uh uh oohh woops

 

[Octoberist]

The Evil dead franchise became a sucess because of two things: Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell.

Sure you can have a movie about the book of the dead, but it won't an Evil Dead movie. Bruce Campbell was Ash, and Ash was the movies. It's one of the rare horror/comedy franchises that really rely on the main actor than anything else.

 

[November Rain]

they can never remake top gun...

i can see all these films being remade, especially the wizard of oz before i die....

 

[gvcool2]

Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid, starring Ben Affleck & Matt Damon

 

[Untilteld]

Donnie Darko, Edward Scissorhands. I was gonna say The Nightmare Before Christmas but we all know it's coming out in 3D this October. Basically any of Tim Burton's movies can't, at least his classics.

 

[Octoberist]

I can't see anyone remaking Fight Club anytime soon, so I wouldn't worry. Also, its so sleek and timeless, why remake it?

I can't see Ghostbuster being remade since it was the ACTORS who made what it is now. Thank Bill Murray, Akroyd, and company for that, not just the script.

 

[gvcool2]

this threads making me very depressed just thinking how a new evil dead movie is going to sooo suck without bruce campbell, it's actually got me realy sad
