AndyofHalifax 15339 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 As someone who is obviously a fan of the "Man with No Name" trilogy, I definitely agree that they shouldn't be remade, however, I've been enjoying Danger Mouse's new album Rome inspired by the Morricone spaghetti westerns. They brought together as many of the original musicians as they could for this album. I could see them using it for the soundtrack of a new spaghetti western as an homage to Morricone.

stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 I have often wished that A Bridge Too Far was a better flick than it is, so on that note it would be great to see it re-done. One would think that a movie starring Sean Connery, Gene Hackman, Michael Caine, Elliott Gould amongst others would be better than it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rdymango 673 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 I can't believe they're doing a Footloose remake. It doesn't get better than Kevin Bacon!! You can't remake that! Does anybody remember "The Last Starfighter." With today's technology and tweaking the story a little, it could be really kick-ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest E*******h S******s Report post Posted August 13, 2011 Wait Until Dark....loved Audrey Hepburn but how about Scarlet Johansen?? Ooooooo.....great movie!! Although I think I would choose Kate Beckinsale rather than Scarlet. Another I wouldn't mind seeing is To Kill a Mockingbird. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 You know what's too bad, there aren't any martial arts actors of the same calibre like Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee anymore. Yeah, the plots of those martial arts movies were pretty cheesy, but good fight scenes and simple plot of good versus evil and they were entertaining RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicolette Vaughn 294340 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 They should do a remake of Dirty Harry and give Client Eastwood a cameo appearance in it. However, there are some classics that can't be remade. Remember all those John Hughes teen movies from the 80's? If someone were to remake those today, it would be a totally different type film because there is too much of a generation gap. Movies like "Pretty in Pink" or "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" would be pointless. These kinds of movies are etched in our minds in that timeframe and that's where I would like to keep them. I think a classic movie that is timeless has a better chance of being remade into something that society can relate to in today's terms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 I have a few.... (1) Jason and the Argonauts With all due respect to the genius of Ray Harryhausen, this is a great old movie that just seems dated. Could also redo the Sinbads as well..... (2) The Magic Sword - No, you have probably never heard of it. It's a 1960's fantasy flick about the quest to beat a sorcerer and save the damsel in distress from being fed to a dragon... but it has SO MUCH POTENTIAL with CG. (3) The Roger Moore James Bonds. Loved Connery. Loved Brosnan. Liked Dalton. Liked Lazenby. Tolerated Craig. HATED MOORE. (4) Battle of the Bulge - HUGE cast in the original but you can't believe that rural California is the Ardennes forest. With Band of Brothers you saw that it could be done... I would love to see this well made. (5) The Dirty Dozen - I know the original was FANTASTIC but it is a film that could be remade every 20 or 30 years with a great new cast. Just sayin' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Surf_Nazis_Must_Die 8958 Report post Posted August 13, 2011 the new Planet of The Apes was pretty good. But I guess that's more of a prequel than a remake. Posted via Mobile Device It is a remake.

roamingguy 300292 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 Client Eastwood? Hmmmm a Freudian slip perhaps? There's only one Dirty Harry as far as I am concerned. And the difference between one and two Dirty Harry's can be damned important too The only one that can carry off Dirty Harry's character with that sense of style is Clint Eastwood, IMHO RG Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andee 220524 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 Okay, a movie I would like to see remade is The Happy Hooker because I think a modern, updated version could be a more risque. And besides, I didn't care for Lynn Redgrave as Xavier Hollander. Could you imagine Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry redoing this scene: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And besides, I didn't care for Lynn Redgrave as Xavier Hollander. Could you imagine Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry redoing this scene: I saw the sequel "The Happy Hooker goes to Washington" with Joey Heatherton in the role of Xaviera... and I wondered why they never cast her the first time. At 67 now, she is probably contemporary with Xaviera, but at the time she was a far better match to the look. what about Christina Aguilera or Lindsay Lohan in the role?
