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

[Andy54Hawken]

John Wayne as Gandalf....

"Saddle up Hobbits....We are off to Mordor."

NO; should be "Saddle up you Hobbits, we're burning daylight. We're off to Mordor, God willing and the river don't rise."

They remade Carpenter's "The Thing" and I was super excited until the reviews started coming out.

The original is a classic for sure.

Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai"

I think the "remake" was either before or after the original in time. I saw it but cannot remember. I'd like to see a total remake of the original without the BS.

every film id think would make a good remake,i just think of how bad they would mess it up.

 

[Burt Gummer]

The Cowboys. Probably one of my favorite JW movies already- but to reintroduce it to be loved by the next generation. Especially since the US seems to be so engrossed in the Yellowstone series.

I saw this at the Broadway Theatre at Seaside Oregon with my mom. I remember seeing Wayne get shot in the back and was furious over it. Really enjoyed Lewis Skolnick and the gang getting their Revenge (of the Nerds).

To Hell and Back (1955), redone well, would be interesting.

Yes , it would need to be redone well.....
No...'cause one of the attractions of the movie for me at least , is that it actually has Audie Murphy in it.

The Godfather Trilogy.

But as a musical.

"I work for Don Corleone,
Leave the gun, take the cannoli…"

My vote is for Colossus the Forbin Project.

None!

Woke Hollywood destroys every movie they remake. . .

There have been VERY FEW remakes that were as good as, or better than the original.

The new Top Gun is arguably as good as the original.

Blazing Saddles. Either re-release it in theatres to watch snowflakes heads explode, or remake it into a woke version to show how idenity politics are bubblegum and watch snowflakes heads explode anyway.

A woke version would be a snooze fest.
You could only make jokes about white males.

I remember when the orig came out, some people were whining about it using the "N" word and such.

But when you actually look at it, the Black Sheriff was the smartest, most honest character in the movie, and made the bad guys (who were white) look like moron idiots. . (well, they actually were moron idiots) The lead character was black, he was the hero, and he had a white guy as his sidekick. Yet many in the woke crowd today consider the movie racist because of the (historically correct) language.

That's a good point. In many cases the new movie would just insert woke narratives into the movie along with actors that fit the "woke" scene.

 

[wjv]

Don't know if you heard, in the new Superman movie he will no longer be gay, and they are bringing back "Truth, Justice and the American Way". Same for the new comic books.

For some strange reason people weren't purchasing the new gay, tree hugging, woke Superman comic books. . . Gee. . . I can't figure out why. . . They were so inclusive.

Denis Villeneuve's remake of Dune stomps all over David Lynch's 80s original, although technically both are adaptations of Frank Herbert's novel.

I'm thinking that it would have been better if most of today's
movies would have never been made at all.
