Honestly a bit surprised no one has mentioned it yet. The Princess Bride. That movie should never be remade. Ever.

The Shawshank Redemption should never be remade. It was close enough to Stephen King's short story to be an excellent story, and the performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were superb!

It would be.........inconceivable! The Shawshank Redemption should never be remade. It was close enough to Stephen King's short story to be an excellent story, and the performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were superb!
I'm still amazed that it was considered a flop when it was first released. It only really got recognised as one of the greatest movies of all time when it hit the home video rental market. |

Tilda has already played Bob Dylan in a movie. And she dressed up as David Bowie one Halloween (they were apparently good friends). She has that other worldly slightly androgynous quality about her that I think would be perfect for the Goblin King. If they cast her, I wouldn't even address her gender, as with the right costume and make-up you'd believe she was Jareth, just played by another actor.
Counterpoint: David dressed up as her on the same Halloween. I think their androgyny actually add to their beauty. The first time I ever saw David Bowie, was the VHS cover of Labyrinth, and thought "WOW! She's kinda hot." My 8yo self was very confused when I saw the movie. Honestly a bit surprised no one has mentioned it yet. The Princess Bride. That movie should never be remade. Ever.
There is hope for you yet, young one. POINTS The Shawshank Redemption should never be remade. It was close enough to Stephen King's short story to be an excellent story, and the performances by Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman were superb!
Wholly agreed. And on the SK note, The Green Mile is also on the list. Nightmare Before Christmas |

I saw the photo. They dressed as each other. Kindred spirits. I think their androgyny actually add to their beauty. The first time I ever saw David Bowie, was the VHS cover of Labyrinth, and thought "WOW! She's kinda hot." My 8yo self was very confused when I saw the movie.
Definitely. The first time I saw Bowie was the music video for dancing in the street with Mick Jagger. I think I saw Labyrynth soon after and didn't realise it was the same guy. Fortunately, my university years opened exposed me to the wonder of his Ziggy Stardust days. |

The first 3 Indiana Jones movies.
Correction, they are ONLY three Indiana Jones movies in existence. Officially. Fandom passed a law about this not so long ago. Just had another thought: This Is Spinal Tap can/should never be remade. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of Event Horizon, but with all the gore/horror sequences that the director was forced to cut left in this time. |

*NEW RULE*Any movie mentioned can be vetoed, as long as it's seconded by someone else. Ronin
Gonna have to veto this.
Seconded. Ronin is safe (and a bloody brilliant film it is too). Speaking of John Reno, Leon absolutely CANNOT be remade. Or True Romance. Would like to see remakes of:
Timecop
NOT see remakes of:
The Ten Commandments
13th Warrior
DragonSlayer
Outland
Timecop would be a good remake. As they recently did a remake of Ben-Hur (which is awful as you'd imagine it was) I wouldn't put it past Hollywood to do a remake of The Ten Commandments.

But Total Recall had the brilliant and satirical mind of Paul Verhoeven at the helm, who brought the equally amazing Robocop and Starship Troopers (and Showgirls to prove even great film makers have an off day  ). I think the recent remakes of Total Recall and Robocop prove to leave PV's movies alone. That includes Starship Troopers, that despite being made in 1997, still holds up. Even a lot of the CGI (which is weird when you consider The Phantom Menace came out 2 years later and looks dated as F when you rewatch it now). Yes, which is why I was disappointed they chose to attempt to remake the Arnold version instead of directly adapting the original Story.
NOT see remakes of:
The Ten Commandments
Point of Fact: The Ten Commandments was itself a remake of the 1930s versions also directed by Cecil B. DeMille. |

Ronin? Thirded. That film is a masterpiece on so many levels. Agreed. Leon and True Romance are not to be touched either. Can you imagine two other people doing the Walken/Hopper scene in True Romance? HA!!!! |
