I've just heard that they are going to remake the Nicholas Cage/John Travolta/John Woo classic Face Off. Earlier this year they released a remake of comedy classic Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, this time with Ann Hathaway and Rebel Wilson (and apparently it was not good). This is without even mentioning all the Disney live action remakes that have been released.

So, my question to the group is this:

1) Which movie should NEVER be remade?
2) Which movie would you not mind if they remade?

*PLEASE NOTE* Try to be creative and not choose The Last Jedi. We all know how divisive that movie is and I'm sure people can come up with other choices.

Blazing saddles!

But totally P.C. for today's  snowflake culture.

Read that this weekend. That is a classic and should never have a remake.  I don't think any of the recent remakes should have been made but that may just be me.  To me, ANY Arnold Schwarzenegger, Disney, MCU, etc. should NOT have a remake.

I remember years ago watching a chat show and it had a well known director on (can't remember who), but I always remember something he said about remakes; either take something that wasn't well known to begin with or take something that wasn't very good and make it better.

Now, while they are considered a cult classics, I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of either The Last Starfighter (using today's gaming culture instead of arcade games) or They Live (with the intenet and the continued fascination with consumerism). I think both could do with being updated and could easily be remade into something really enjoyable and special.

Movies that should NEVER be remade: Back to the Future, Goodfellas, anything from Tarantino, The Lost Boys and Jaws (although every shark movie the has ever come out since Jaws has basically tried to recapture the majesty that is that movie and they always fail. As shark movies go, Jaws is perfection).

I was obviously joking about Blazing Saddles.

The last star fighter and They live!!! Great ideas. I don't think either of those movies would be harmed by an update for the current times. They live would be great.

Not necessarily a remake, but I'd like a sequel to Tron: Legacy. That movie got way too much flak.

Tron wasn't a remake perse but rather a sequel and I wanted the third installment but it bombed the US box office and in fact, it did better overseas so they place the third installment on hold, indefinitely or at least that's what the studios claim

Wasn't there supposed to be a remake if WarGames? That would be interesting in today's time.

I think they should remake Hot Dog... The Movie for all the current Teenagers.

I would be totally down for a Tron:Legacy follow up.

For Last Starfighter I'd prefer a sequel maybe. You could still have a new protagonist, (maybe Lewis's kid?) through whom we find out what Alex and Maggie have been doing all these years. As for They Live, who're gonna find that's as much fun in the part as Roddy Piper?

It would be a cardinal sin for Disney to even consider touching the Emporer's New Groove ever again - its perfect, let it be perfect in peace.


That being said, I would love a remake of the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I know it got panned bad but i loved it dammit! Would be great to see what could be incorporated with new effects.

The problem with remaking War Games is that the current events of the time period was critical to the plot. It wouldn't really have as much significance unless it was done as a period piece, just redone.

Not necessarily a remake, but I'd like a sequel to Tron: Legacy. That movie got way too much flak.
Just expand on the story universe. I remember a series on Netflix; Tron: Uprising. It was a prequel story to Legacy, with a Batman Beyond vibe. I loved it. Sadly it was short lived; maybe only 2 seasons. But wow.

As for my 2cents, the Alien trilogy should never be touched.

Speaking of Disney, I'd love a remake of The Black Hole. I remember loving the movie as a kid, but I think I was 8 the last time I saw it. Definitely left an impression though.

For Last Starfighter I'd prefer a sequel maybe. You could still have a new protagonist, (maybe Lewis's kid?) through whom we find out what Alex and Maggie have been doing all these years. As for They Live, who're gonna find that's as much fun in the part as Roddy Piper?
Either a sequel/reboot or a remake. Either would work. It's pretty much a no-brainer with gaming being so huge these days.

And as missed as Roddy Piper is, the movie would still work with the right actor cast. Could even have a cameo be Keith David.

Wasn't there supposed to be a remake if WarGames? That would be interesting in today's time.
I think I heard something about that. Maybe it's stuck in development hell.


I think they should remake Hot Dog... The Movie for all the current Teenagers.
There's a movie called "Hot Dog"? What's it about? (I'm assuming it's not about food).

As for my 2cents, the Alien trilogy should never be touched.
I know Alien 3 gets a lot of flack. It's nowhere near as good as the first two, but isn't the dumpster fire some people believe it to be. But I agree, the first two should NEVER be touched.

I have always thought a remake of "The Wraith" would be cool.

Never heard of it. But after reading the synopsis on wikipedia it reminds me a lot of a story from a Twilight Zone comic I bought in the 90s. It also sounds like a Fast & Furious version of The Crow!  Grin
