With the current trend in cinema going towards re-making just about every and any movie in the catalog, I got to thinking about some movies that I would hate to see done over.
Here are some of mine in no particular order:
- the Princess Bride
- Christmas Story
- the Godfather trilogy
- Bullitt (I won't be surprised if it happens)
- any Kubrick film (too late for the Shining)
What are some of your picks?
Apocalypse now
Reservoir Dogs
A clockwork orange
Pulp fiction
Blue velvet
Taxi driver
Lonesome Dove
Gone with the Wind
Fight Club
Casablanca
Bambi

There were rumors going around about 3-4 years ago that it was being considered for a remake w/ Brad Pitt.
Commies! How could you be alive in America and not see those movies? I'm starting deportation proceedings ASAP! [laugh]
Please don't remake Top Gun with the Joint Strike Fighter.
Seriously the only movies that should ever be remade are low-budget movies remade by the same director with more money (Il Mariachi, Evil Dead)
Art should stand on it's own and doesn't need a mulligan to get it "right"
Otherwise it's like saying "Yeah, someone should do a re-write of Moby Dick." Or "I really like Rembrandt's 'The Potato Eaters' but I think it needs more color."
Disclaimer: This doesn't apply to anything that's done as part of a live performance (music, plays, opera) because that's supposed to be different every time.
Also, get off my lawn you damn kids [coffee]
Well, it was redone once. :D
Bambi vs Godzilla (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpBkc2jK-6w#normal)

Others that should never be remade:
War of the Worlds

Gone In 60 Seconds
and
The Original Star Wars Trilogy

the Gone in 60 Seconds remake wasn't bad as far as remakes are concerned...but that sems to be a different subject altogether...
now...any Monty Python or Mel Brooks film should never be redone...that is just sheer blasphemy

3:10 to Yuma was a remake. The first was made in 1955 with Glen Ford in the Crowe roll. Both films were awesome in their own way. Ford played it as a smooth suave psychopath, could have been the devil himself.

I'm aware. And in my opinion, none of them were as good as the originals. Thus my post.
Animal House
The Blues Brothers
The Unforgiven
The Departed
Eraserhead (probably never should have been made the first time)
Back to the Future
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Enter the Dragon
Missing in Action
Remo Williams the Adventure Begins
Office Space
Short Circuit
Eddie and the Cruisers
Hard Day's Night

Yes, I know they were not really great movies but to make them without the original 4 just wouldn't work.

The Departed
only problem was that the departed was a remake of a japanese movie infernal affairs trilogy with parts from each. the original infernal affairs makes the departed look like an overweight hollywood crap movie. it was ok but should have never gotten any awards for remaking someone elses original work.
movies you can't remake becuase the cast is what made the movie
the outsiders
the great escape
star trek 2 (there is no way you can remake this movie without ricardo montalban, only way you can is by reincarnating him)
all those movies are made by the ensemble casts without them the movies will suck.

I disagree on the Shining.
The original movie was all Kubrick, but the TV Movie one was what Stephen King envisioned, and I think stands on its own.
Of course, the Simpsons version from Treehouse of Horrors V owns them both

OK if you say so...I will stop liking it now
Lethal Weapon
Full Metal Jacket
Platoon
And FWIW, I think Flight of the Intruder should be remade. I read the book in high school about a year before the movie came out. The cast was absolutely perfect for the movie, especially Danny Glover and Willem Dafoe, but overall the script was a shite adaptation of the book.

Did you know that though both Bill and Ricardo are arch enemies in Wrath of Kahn that they actually never share a single scene together?
Rebel Without a Cause cause there can be only one James Dean
On the Waterfront cause there can be only one Marlon Brando
Hombre, The Hustler, Hud cause there can be only one Paul Newman

yeap they may not have had a scene together , in my view the entire movie was good bc of the cast overall.
and regarding the departed to the other poster, i just thought the original was better, but hey that is why we are putting up movies that we like and debating them. like whatever movie you want.

Maybe we should produce our own remakes! Form the DMF production co. It is obvious that those Hollywood mo fos will find us eventually.

Snakes may pass on the count of three. Snakes shall count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number they shall count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shall they not count, nor either count them two, excepting that they then then proceed on three. Five is right out. Once three is counted, and only then on the number three, it being the third number, be reached, then shall they pass.

Toshiro Mifune. If it's a Kurosawa flick, then chances are that Mifune is in it.
they should never touch One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Clockwork Orange or pretty much any Kubrick film
but hey...here's an idea...lets make a list of films they should remake...if for no other reason to see how they'de modernize it and waste money doing it...

I remember watching "Raising Arizona" and wanting that period of my life back. No clue why some consider that such a great film.

I always wanted to come up with a meaning for "Brin" as a verb for something obscene.
I.e. Yul Brinner.
Get it?

Pretty much any film considered great. (I love the original True Grit, but it's not really a "great" film.)
Wizard of Oz was remade.. Diana Ross and Micheal Jackson ;)

Totally amazing transfer!
Just picked up 2001(blu-ray) @wally world for 10 bucks last nite.
Another one with a phenomenal HD transfer!!! I
still can't believe the sets and special effects are circa 1968.
42 years old and it does not look dated at all.
This look like an Ipad to you? ...

As a kid I always thought that was slicker than snot. Super far-out science fiction in '68 is now available at the local mall to anyone who wants one.

that has to be a doctored image
no way they predicted the exact size/design of the ipad.

nope. Apple copied it right down to the color.

ah, you meant the
image on the tablet.. i was thinking the tablet itself was shooped..

nope, the tablet as well. there are a series of buttons on the actual video image, has sharp lines and is more the size a a legal pad compared to the rounded smaller letter size iPad
The tablet computer was kinda the norm for scifi for years though.

Sorry I picked a bad example. Should have looked closer as that was an actual ipad.
You are correct that the one in the movie is slightly different with sharper lines and a row of buttons at the bottom. Don't forget the IBM logo too.
Slight details aside I think they were PLENTY close to nailing it way back in 1968.
I'm still impressed.

yes and no.
back then, it was just a tool that they were using (in the movies).
today, it's some kind of holy grail of coolness peddled by a rich self-absorbed wanker who thinks you shouldn't have flash.
But I have to say I *love* the Ikea utensils Dave Bowman is using..

The theatrical release was actually a re-make itself. Mmm-hmm.

Great movie one of my favorites.
