    Movies you wish they'd remake, and why.

    Thought I'd post this up.....

We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

    I am surprised it hasn't been done, and they'd proabaly ruin it with CGI, but Bullit

    I really loved Splendor in the Grass. They'd have to change the theme a bit.

    Red Dawn - Because war with Russia was a lot cooler than war with Iraq

    Commando - I wanna see Alissa Milano in a movie

    Predator - We have a lot cooler weapons now

    Last Starfighter - Nostalga

    Ice Pirates - It was a great flick with a bad cast. I am sure Hollywood can do that again /sarcasm

    Damnation Alley - They can use CGI to bring George Peppard back

    Firestarter

    BrainStorm - personally one of my favorite movies of all time.

    Except to be true to today's technology, The main character would spend two hours getting pwnd by foul mouthed twelve year olds, then spammed with web porn and penis enlargement ads... I don't think it would make for a good movie.

    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    I'd agree. Though the original one sucked, the general publics acceptability with homosexuals now a days should make this version much better. It doesn't have to be so ambiguous about it.

    Terminal Man - my favorite book of all time, it was made into a movie in the late seventies but with advancements in computers and medicine a present day movie would be pretty sweet.

    Agree with Mel, Serenity (the series). Show kicked ass and was killed long before it's time.

    Movie remakes:

    Forbidden Planet
    The Longest Day
    The Battle of Britain
    Shea
    Now bikeless...

    Re: Movies you wish they'd remake, and why.

    More than remaking anything, which is all I think Hollywood can do anymore,
    I'd like to see some classic books that have waited around forever get made into movies.
    Especially the works of Peirs Anthony, Allen Dean Foster, and Bradbury/Asimov books that haven't been done.

    Also,
    The rest of the Hitchhiker series.
    Remake of the Dirty Dozen set in Afganistan/Pakistan.
    Whoever said Bullet, great idea. As long as it's not some pussy wanna-be playing Mac's role and they don't turn it into a car commercial.

    Would love to see some 30'/40's genre remakes.
    B&W Film Noir detective movies with those killer ensemble cast of Bogart/Greenstreet/Lorey.
    And maybe some Frank Capra type movies since we're going into a depression.
    Oh, and remake Fritz the Cat.

    I would love to see some Film Noir type movies... something with a plot that is deeper than a teaspoon...

    Above remakes, I would like to see Hollywood actually create some new and interesting movies instead of rehashing old ideas... Use the genres and styles, but find an original story!

    Maybe something by Chris Moore?!
