“Nope - it was lightning in a bottle - great story, production, acting.”

Exactly, everything lined up exactly right ONCE. Don’t damage a good/great movie by retooling it.
If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
New and improved is usually neither.

Doctor Brown buys uranium from Secretary of State Clinton who has him killed when the check bounces.

Fake poll! It’s a lie that most people would like to see this. Most want it to be left alone because it’s iconic and already a great movie that’s not dated as looking old

give-em a few years

That terminology dates back to Nasser. He openly declared himself to be both nationalist and socialist. Tell a liberal that, and he’ll fall into paroxysms. This kind of “nationalism” refers to pan-Arabism.

Go WAY back.

Torchy Blaine

Mandrake The Magician

Tailspin Tommie

The Saint (OK, that one might need a name change in the current environment. Unless it paired up with Boston Blackie)

71% said they would want to take another trip in the DeLorean with Doc Brown and Marty McFly, closely followed by Pixar’s Toy Story (69%), Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones (68%) and Universal’s Jurassic Park (67%)

I understand why a lot of people would want to see it re-made. I watched the original with my kids a while back, and you really had to live through the era or you would miss a lot. A DeLorean was cool back in 1985, but today none of the kids have heard of them and a low-end Hyundai looks sportier. Marty McFly was cool back then, but it's hard for kids today to see that was how he was being portrayed (because he's not cool to them.) The original was great, but now it looks dated. The same storyline wouldn't work, but the same concept could. I wouldn't mind seeing someone try.

Toy Story is amazing and would be difficult to improve or update. The Indiana Jones series could be an interesting remake, and it seems like they left a lot of possibilities on the table for the character. Jurassic Park has been subjected to constant remakes ever since the first one came out

Next up “Gone with the Wind”.

I can't think of who would play Marty McFly, but Peter Capaldi would probably do fairly well as Doctor Brown. Perhaps Marty could become 'Marti'.
