What movie would you really like to see re-done?

[Hooyah DeepSea]

There are a lot of movies 'out there' that leave a lot to be desired as far as historical fact. So what movie would you like to see re-done, the right way, correctly, factually?

For me, I'd like to see Tora Tora Tora made right,(cuz that's my thing) and the old film "The 300 SPARTANS", or something factually correct on the battle of Thermopylae.

Conan The Barbarian, redone to fit Robert E Howard and Frazetta's original depictions and stories... not the Ahhnold version, not the modern cruddy one..

I hate to break this to you, but that particular 'event', the 2020 elections, was not a movie; but real life . . . and yes, it sucked!!

THIS.....for sure.

There are enough Howard written Conan stories to make for one Hell of a great Conan movie.

Wtf is wrong with Tora Tora Tora or The Bridge on river Kwai?

 

[Hooyah DeepSea]

Both are dreadfully short in fact and reality. The unfortunate part is that in the case of Tora . . . . , it is the best movie on the subject thus far, but thirty years out of date.

I'd like to see starwars episodes 7,8 and 9 redone without being woke copies of 4, 5 and 6

I understand they're not historically accurate, however my statement remains

OK, I'll bite. What would you specifically change about them?

I'm loving The Mandalorian, and Andor series. Not a big fan of Book of Boba Fett or Obi Wan Kenobi series; they feel more like kids shows....

Being a Pearl Harbor historian, I can tell you that the general 'dramatics' are close enough, but the depiction of the actual attack leaves a lot to be desired. Now granted, the 'scene' encompasses a pretty large area, but they covered it well in the modern love story "PEARL HARBOR" , so we know it's possible. "PEARL HARBOR" was a zoo of inaccuracies, and not intended to be historically "even related" to any truth.

Red Sun. The original had Charles Bronson and Toshiro Mifune and it is an absolute GEM.

King Arthur....changes with ....well everything....
The movie was long on entertainment....but short on anything on historical in regards to Roman Britain.

Honestly folks, the golden age of films has past us. There are very few writers, actors, directors and producers that are not woke pos's. There are a few but they are getting blacklisted now.

 

[Hooyah DeepSea]

Hey, I'm just trying to add to the entertainment . . . but yes, hollywood is now very woke.

Memphis Belle.

It's a great story that deserves a realistic treatment. The movie was overdone. While all of the events depicted happened, they didn't all happen to one crew on one mission. The story of the 8th Air Force in WW2 is dramatic enough that a really good movie could be made without embellishment. "12 O'clock High" still sets the standard 70 years later. It would be great to see a movie like that made with today's production capabilities, something with the same quality as "Saving Private Ryan." But do we have the actors? It was the acting that made "12 O'clock High" great.

There was a 2012 B-17 movie called "Fortress" that was a good try, except it wasn't 8th AF, the CGI was terrible, and the acting was 2nd rate, but other than that...

The TV series Turn: Washington's Spies. The Revolutionary story is amazing in its own right and didn't need the writing hack job that series gave it.

Well, as long as we are remaking those, we might as well throw in 1-3.
