What movie would you like to see redone?

Posted on 08/23/2014 7:57:56 PM PDT by MNDude

Most people will always say that a movie that has been redone never should have been redone (the older someone is, the more they are apt to feel that way too). There are probably a few movies of course that is as good as better than the original (like True Grit?). There are also a few movies that might be nice to see remade if the original has a nice concept but was horribly directed or some movies might serve better updated for the times. What movie(s) would you like to see redone?

I don’t want any movies redone, because I guarantee they will be all PC’ed up.

I agree. Too many remakes these days. Worse, they are making movies out of old tv shows which weren't good to begin with.

Just seems like Hollywood has become too lazy or too cheap to come up with an original idea.

World War Z. Because the novel deserves better than it got.

CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE. The Tyrone Power version ends before the conquest of Mexico, which is the whole point.

Idiocracy. They could splice together a bunch of news clippings.

“The Day The Earth Stood Still” only this time without an eco terrorist point of view. Stick to the original story line, add some terrorists with nuclear weapons, and use today’s special effects to make the movie as it should be made.

Inn of The Sixth Happiness was a superb movie!

But I really hope no one ever tries to remake it.

Though the original was a little cheesy, it was a good story. It could really be done today and it's a timely message - Colossus: The Forbin Project

Did you read the book? The movie was very hokey. Someone asked if you could still take a guy seriously if he was over fifty and stilled called himself Sting.

“The Day The Earth Stood Still”

If they did the original “Farewell to the Master” by Harry Bates story without all the anti-nuke-test propaganda it would not be a remake, it would be a new movie.

“You do not understand, I am the master”.

I always loved Dana Carvey's take on him....

“He called himself a verb, present tense. He’s not Stung. He’s not Stinging. He’s Sting.”

To me they are two sides of the same coin.

The Wizard of Oz was one of my first thoughts too, but then I figured I would be dissapointed in just about anyone else singing over the rainbow

Exactly. My husband wanted to see what the big deal was with the Noah movie. I couldn’t believe what they did to the story. I had no words to express my unbelief in their destruction of Gods word. They don’t have a clue.
