Movies that SHOULD NEVER be remade.

Anything by Stanley Kubrick (smile).

 

Would you be able to negotiate on "The Shining?"

Well, if I recall, it was remade as Steven King hated Kubrick's version, but the Kubrick version scared the heck out of most people I know.

I think Kubrick's version may have not been a complete success as an adaptation, but on it's own it's excellent. If you want Kubrick-does-King, then, yeah, you may be disappointed. But for Kubrick-doing-Kubrick? Pour me another, Lyle!

 

And as for King hating it... IIRC, Anthony Burgess didn't enjoy the adaptation process much either, to the extent of inserting a parody of Kubrick in the stage version of Clockwork Orange.

I don't think it's been said yet, but Casino. Amazing movie!

Joe Pesci is nuts, Sharon Stone is always stoned, and Robert De Niro is just Awesome...

Martin Scorsese is an Untouchable Director.

Agreed completely ... Could say the same thing about Goodfellas (Joe Pesci was just as nuts, and DeNiro just as good). Could say this about a lot of Scorsese's movies.

Raging Bull?

 

Man, when will DeNiro learn to stop hanging out with Pesci? The guy's trouble!
