I am surprised that no one has tried to screw up one of my all time favorites with a remake: Forbidden Planet.

I am surprised that no one has tried to screw up one of my all time favorites with a remake: Forbidden Planet.

One of my favorites as well! My list:

---

• Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. I love the dialogue where Spock tries to learn cuss words.
• Blade Runner. The scene where the replicant realizes that her memories of her mother are implants still makes me shudder.
• The Fifth Element. I just happen to enjoy Luc Besson's movies. I think this one is a visual masterpiece.
• Back to the Future. All three episodes are wonderful, but III is my favorite of the trilogy.
• Planet of the Apes. The first one, not any of the sequels! The ending, where he discovers the half-buried Statue of Liberty (wonderfully spoofed, BTW, by Mel Brooks in "Spaceballs") is truly great.
• Forbidden Planet. The creature was from his subconscious mind!
• Mars Attacks. OK, not a "true" Science Fiction movie, but one that my daughter and I can watch together and thoroughly enjoy. "Ack Ack Ack!"
• The Lathe of Heaven. A movie made in the 70's from a novel of the same name by Ursula LeGuin. I had read the novel before I saw the movie. Both excellent.
• Invaders from Mars. I first saw this 1953 movie when I was a child, and it scared the Bejeezus out of me. Implants in the back of the head? And that creature in the globe!
• X Men: The Movie. I enjoyed all of them.

If it was done right, I’d love it. That’s a great story.

I’d really like to see someone make a good budget version of “Brave New World.”

I’d also like to see a good budget version of Asimov’s first 3 Foundation books (or maybe split into 3 movies).

You too?.. One of the all time greats.. be hard to match let alone equal it.. all without the current technology it was made..

Have not seen it(Forbidden Planet) on TV for years, some bright programmer could make points by showing it.. also 1,000,000 B.C. might be appreciated in re-show-INGS.. ABC or NBC could get more viewers by advertising its show date for a couple of weeks..

They’ve been working on it, but I guess it didn’t go anywhere:

a remake: Forbidden Planet.

A guy named Shakespeare made a fair attempt, he called it 'The Tempest'.
