stevecurious 42059 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 DO NOT TOUCH: The Seven Samurai Well The Seven Samurai has already been remade...sort of. The Magnificent Seven was based (very closely) on The Seven Samurai. Also, hate to ruin your day but according to IMDB there is a new version of 7 Samurai in development.

Lowdark 5613 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 They're remaking the Crow, a cult classic for a number of reasons and I doubt the remake get a fair chance by many. Same with the mad max remakes/prequels. A few others that shouldn't be touched. Slapshot Reservoir Dogs Last of the Mohicans A recent one that never should have seen the light of the theatre; Skyline. Ugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Untouchables: Twin Peaks (I know it's a show, but if anyones tries to remake it, I'll have to go on a murderous rampage) Jaws Edward Scissorhands Cry-Baby The Big Lebowski Fallen Angels Oldboy (and they are remaking it sadly, those mofos) Clue (and I heard they're remaking this one too and I'm sorry, no one will ever replace Madeline Kahn as Mrs. White or Tim Curry as Wadsworth). Legend Labyrinth This Is Spinal Tap Ghostbusters (I'd actually die if they remade this one) WTF Inception. MOST RIDICULOUS MOVIE EVER. both Matrix sequels Dead Girl (got lured into this one by a plotline that went like this: two guys find a girl in an abandoned asylum who can't be killed!! So I'm thinking, sweet, she's going to be this superhuman murderous psycho, but oh no, it's so much worse. Instead, these two creepers find this dead girl tied to a table (she is clearly a zombie, though the movie never refers to her as one) but they're like, HEY we should charge our friends to come and have sex with this tied up dead girl! And that is the entire movie. These guys raping a dead zombie chick. GROSS) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 Everybody's best buddy Indeed... what the world needs now is Buddy Christ. I think Burt Bacharach wrote that. Dammit I am jacking my own thread!!!! back to business: Classics: Apocalypto - the movie in and of itself was okay, but I really don't think anyone could ever do better job with cinematography. It was just an absolutely gorgeous film - one would do well to use it as a test disc when buying a new BluRay player or big screen TV. The Madness of King George - an amazing ensemble cast and every single role was filled perfectly. We all look at movies from time to time and saysomething like, George Clooney would have been better in that role or I hated Kirsten Dunst as his girlfriend...but this one has not a single flaw in that regard. Dogma - another Kevin Smith classic. See Buddy Christ's opinion above. 12 Angry Men - what can I say? One of those compelling films that you can watch over and over and catch different character nuances on each viewing. The Pianist - Adrien Brody's performance was captivating. That man can act.

datyaddict 2174 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 Based on all the terrible attempts since, I'd have to say that 'La Femme Nikita' not only should never be remade, but cannot be remade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lowdark 5613 Report post Posted August 14, 2011 Having read (and loved) the book, I actually can't stand the It mini series. A remake into a movie is probably a mistake as well (cramming an 1100 page book into 2 hours?) and I'm kind of glad plans to adapt the entire Dark Tower series into a combination of movies and mini series fell through. It's ironic you mentioned Kevin Smith movies becuase as soon as I posted on this thread last night I popped in Mallrats for a couple of laughs. A classic that should never be remade (although NBC did it as a mini-series in the 90's) is the original Inherit the Wind. Brilliant movie making with an ensemble cast (for the time) headed by Spencer Tracey. A pure gem. -Dirty Harry-Any Clint Eastwood western -Rocky -First Blood (Rambo) -Jaws -Braveheart -Misery -Shadow Of The Vampire (not very well known but any fan of John Malkovich or especially Willem Dafoe needs to check that one out.

castle 38816 Report post Posted August 15, 2011 and I'm kind of glad plans to adapt the entire Dark Tower series into a combination of movies and mini series fell through. I too am kind of glad about this but only because I felt the creative team working on it were not quite right. I didn't really have faith that Ron Howard could pull it off....and the screenwriter was the guy who wrote Batman and Robin....'nuff said. However I do hope Frank Darabont gets his hands on it now that he's no longer overseeing The Walking Dead. IMO he's directed 3 of the best Stephen King adaptations yet (Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile and The Mist). And he even wrote a few Dark Tower references into the Mist that were not in the original short story...so I know he has an interest in the Dark Tower story. I think he's the only one I have any faith in to bring that series to the screen properly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
