Waxing nostalgic are we? You and C_M seem quite comfortable living in the FOG past. I can say things like this being such a spring chicken :D

http://www.boulder.swri.edu/%7Eterrell/images/goofy.gif I mainly mentioned ones old enough that they might be tempted to redo them. Well, I doubt Plan 9 would be redone anytime soon. :) For spring chickens like yourself, these come to mind:

Gladiator
Saving Private Ryan
The Right Stuff
The Silence of the Lambs
Pulp Fiction
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Amadeus
Gandhi

Oh come on, remaking Clockwork Orange would be sweet! Nothing like a bit of the ol' ultraviolence, eh?

Remaking any Kubrick film would be an exercise in futility. :)

Yeah, but with today's effects, the scene beating down the guy in his own house would be extra fun. Weeeellly welly well!

The Great Escape
On Any Sunday
Casablanca

Gone With The Wind (1939)
Ben Hur (1959)

Some excellent choices there. I haven't seen White Heat. And I'd hate to see them remake West Side Story because it's a musical. Musicals just seem to annoy the shit out of me. :)

[Captain Obvious]

I wish they had NOT remade Dune.

It's the only musical that I will ever admit I have ever taken the time to watch. I can relate being a Jet.

[Big-J]

It's the only musical that I will ever admit I have ever taken the time to watch. I can relate being gay.


Fixed for you, Jeffe!!:up:

So you have taken the time to watch others, you just won't admit to it is what you're trying to say?:gay:

[t_jolt]

Any of the good ole Duke movies...

Fixxed for you, Jeffe!!:up:

You can come outta the closet Big-J. I saw you buying your tickets to the Nut Cracker the other day buddy :slappers:

King Kong - Damnit
Planet of the Apes - DAMNIT

[Sortarican]

Oh come on, remaking Clockwork Orange would be sweet! Nothing like a bit of the ol' ultraviolence, eh?

The only way I'd watch a remake of a ACO would be strapped to a chair with my eyes pried open!

Succinct.....eloquent.....to the point.
I think Dirk pretty much captured my sentiment also.

Another movie that shouldn't be remade:

Not exactly a classic, but I will go postal if Torque is ever remade.
