What movie would you like to see remade?

[8timechamps]

Put aside all your hatred for movie remakes, after all, they’re not all bad.

Think about a movie (or movies) that you would like to see remade, assuming that the remake was good (think Ocean’s 11 over Planet of the Apes).

For me, there’s no question what it would be.

I like the new Ocean's series.

There are a few comedies from the 80s that I'd like to see how our new comedic actors would do in those stories.

[JohnnyMack]

The Inglorious Bastards.

although a great movie, i think a remake wouldn't quite capture the drugged out goodness of the original

Paul Rudd would be a good fit for this one.

[Beef]

I would be curious to see what someone could do with "A Clockwork Orange"

[NormanPride]

I'd like to see a remake of Tron. So many of the remakes I'd want to see have already been done, but done horribly. So, I am wary of this...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

DC Cab

[MrJimBeam]

Dead Solid Perfect.

Originally made for TV with Randy Quaid.

Best golf book ever written by Dan Jenkins.

You watch your whorish mouth! Leave the classics alone!

[soonerscuba]

The trick is to find poorly made movies with decent storylines. If you remake Animal House you might as well remake Ghostbusters, Caddyshack or The Godfather.

[KC//CRIMSON]

Where have you people been? :cool:

[King Crimson]

DC Cab

no one can top an original Mr. T vehicle. and one that capitalizes on an already established sitcom theme...."taxicab driver life".....good stuff.

c'mon. :texan:

[soonerinabilene]

Masters of the Universe.

[King Crimson]

a decent manchurian candidate would be nice. the original is balls.

[Frozen Sooner]

Kramer vs. Kramer.

Starring Michael Richards.

[Chuck Bao]

Quest for Fire.

The screenplay could stand some updating, though.

[yermom]

Pink Flamingos

John Travolta as Divine :D

[Frozen Sooner]

Repo Man

[TMcGee86]

caddyshack.

sacrilege I know, but some of the acting in that movie was downright horrible. (danny's girlfriend, srsly wtf?)

Dangerfield would be impossible to replace, but the rest could all be replaced without too much difficulty, some could even still play the parts, Bill Murray especially.

[Frozen Sooner]

Gleaming the Cube

[yermom]

Rad

[OKLA21FAN]

Gleaming the Cube

night of the Comet :pop:

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Something Wicked This Way Comes

[Frozen Sooner]

Gymkata

[Frozen Sooner]

night of the Comet :pop:

Ooh. Good one.

Toxic Avenger

[yermom]

Police Academy

maybe Steve Guttenberg could be the Commandant

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Police Academy

You read my mind...

Maybe Proctor is Captain now

Yes, remake Ghostbusters too. But not The Godfather or Caddyshack.

Animal House is going to be remade sometime, and you'll love it if the right people are cast as the right characters.

Breakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo

[soonerscuba]

Here is a list of remade comedies off the top of my head:

Caddyshack (Who's Your Caddy)
Mr. Deeds
The Pink Panther
Bad News Bears
Taxi
Freaky Friday
The Longest Yard
The Nutty Professor

None of them are good. Leave old comedy alone.

[soonerboomer93]

You watch your whorish mouth! Leave the classics alone!

you heard him beef, go stand infront of a mirror and repeat your comment


;)

[Frozen Sooner]

No Retreat, No Surrender

I think that was the movie. It was basically Rocky IV, but with kickboxing. Even had a scary Russian named Ivan Dragovich.

[Ace]

The erotic awakening of S

Remaking Caddyshack - now thats just sacrilegious talk there.

[setem]

Big
Top Gun
Breakfast Club(maybe)
Mighty Ducks(Sequel or Spin-off)
I am still waiting for a Boondock Saints sequel!


Red Dawn would be a awesome remake!


TV shows I want back:
Hey Dude
Salute Your Shorts
You Cant Do That On TV
Are You Afraid of the Dark

[Crucifax Autumn]

Red Dawn would be a awesome remake!


Yeah...maybe they'd skip the part about the Soviet military paratrooping out of commercial airliners...lol

[fadada1]

ROBOJOX.

hands down, ROBOJOX.

seriously, TRON would be way cool - good call N.P.

[8timechamps]

Red Dawn would be a awesome remake!



That was my inspiration for this thread. Red Dawn is, in fact, in pre-production talks. The studio also has been in meeting for Uncommon Valor. All signs say that Uncommon Valor will come first.

[Pricetag]

No Retreat, No Surrender

Jean Claude Van Damme played the Russian, didn't he?

[John Kochtoston]

No Holds Barred.

[Crucifax Autumn]

Sigh...I truly wish that instead of having this conversation we were discussing some of Stephen R. Donaldson's books being made into movies or perhaps a serious long-term and big budget commitment to King's Dark Tower books.

That said, I guess they aren't gonna do much of that or much original writing so I'd have to lean towards some of the older Fantasy type movies, but they'd have to be seriously re-written and have all the cheese removed. Stuff like Conan, Dragonslayer and hell, even Willow could be a lot better now that Lord of the Rings proved that ya don't have to play it down to the little kids or hire the worst actors ever to stay in budget for all those "fantastic" special effects those flicks featured. Do I really wanna see those particular movies re-made? Nope, but they could be a hundred times better now if someone took it seriously.

[yermom]

Jean Claude Van Damme played the Russian, didn't he?

yeah, that was the first thing i saw him in

[Viking Kitten]

"Streetcar Named Desire." Starring sock puppets.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

I'd like to see this one remade but this cast might be too awesome to mess with.

E4vQ6y5gyoM

[Viking Kitten]

Dunno if you should screw with that one, BSGizzle. Have I ever told you about my serious crush on Michael Palin? Damn, he's cute.

[BlondeSoonerGirl]

Yeah, I know. I'd like to see it with some crazy effects and what-not but dang...that cast.

Maybe I'll unvote for that one...or can you half remake a movie? Like change everything around the original cast. Oh, dammit. Nevermind.

:kelvin:

[Viking Kitten]

Yeah, pretty much ANY Terry Gilliam movie just wouldn't be the same without Terry Gilliam. His peculiar take on everything is just sort of what makes them great, you know?

Mr. Deeds was decent,
Bad News Bears was good,
The Longest Yard was good,
And how can you knock The Nutty Professor?
