Leave me alone, Hollywood!!!

[DJCowboy]

This is inspired by the Back to the Future remake rumor. Which movies do you all think should never be touched for a remake or possibly even a re-release (example: The Star Wars Special Editions).

My choices:

Back to the Future
Wizard of Oz
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (i know it already was, but it doesn't count)
Blues Brothers
Beetljuice
Blazing Saddles


Just off the top of my head right now

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

The Exorcist

 

[DJCowboy]

The Exorcist

Nice choice.


Goonies
Poltergeist
Godfather
Land Before Time
Almost any of the first Disney animated movies
Ghostbusters

(out of any of these, I fear either Poltergeist or Ghostbusters run the most risk of being remade)

 

[turtle825]

Die Hard
The Crow
Hard Boiled
Gremlins

 

[STDiva]

I thought Ghostbusters is already being considered for a re-boot?

As for movies I'd hate to see remade...

Gremlins
Jaws
Tremors
Neverending Story

 

[DJCowboy]

I thought Ghostbusters is already being considered for a re-boot?

Dear god, no.

 

[Supafly]

Demolition Man
Red Dawn
Pretty Woman
Dirty Dancing
Road House

The Crow

That would suck if that got remade. Nobody could be as good as Brandon Lee was.

I'd say:

The Godfather
The Crow
Top Gun
Caddyshack

Um... I don't know what else. A lot of the movies I would have put on this list 5 years ago have now been remade. Hollywood sucks.

 

[freeones_regina]

Close encounters of the third kind.

Think they are already working on a The Crow reboot btw.

 

[DJCowboy]

I'm sorry guys, while I loved The Crow, I think a remake could be done right, if in the right hands.

 

[ForumModeregulator]

if any tarantino material is EVER touched by somebody other than him, it will be a very sad day.

 

[PirateKing]

Blade Runner
Robocop

 

[bazza599]

robocop
reservoir dogs
wall street

 

[StanScratch]

Evil Dead
Bad Taste
Dr. Strangelove (Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb)/2001
A Hard Day's Night
Citizen Kane
The General/Steamboat Will Jr./Seven Ages
The Great Dictator/City Lights/The Kid/Modern Times
North By Northwest/Rear Window/The Birds/Vertigo/Rope/The Trouble With Harry
Once Upon A Time In The West/The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Alien/Bladerunner

 

[busenbust]

All of the Hollywood remakes are abysmal. Even worse are remakes of European/South Asia/American movies. Fuck off Hollywood! and come up with some originality!! :o

:shy:

 

[Mr_A]

All those star wars/trek shit, I like it only when its followed by XXX
lord of the rings, 3 damn parts for just rings
twilight, watching the cast :throwup: and that fucking wolves :horse:
wolverine :dito:
batman the opponent joker looks better than that jerk nuke that gotham city
world is a better place without james bond

 

[The Joker]

JAWS
The Shawshank Redemption
Robocop
Ghostbusters
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Rocky
Dirty Harry
&
The Terminator

 

[lurkingdirk]

Yeah, I was going to say The Shawshank Redemption too.

Also, how about Citizen Cane or any of the Godfathers? Or Bridge over the river Kwai?

 

[Legzman]

Nice choice.


Goonies
Poltergeist
Godfather
Land Before Time
Almost any of the first Disney animated movies
Ghostbusters

(out of any of these, I fear either Poltergeist or Ghostbusters run the most risk of being remade)

great list!

Gremlins
Jaws
Tremors
Neverending Story

I'd say:
The Godfather
Top Gun
Caddyshack

also good lists. Need to add gremlins and The Gate. But really hollywood needs to come up with some original shit and quit remaking old shit. They never do it right at it shows a sever lack of originality. I will admit though if they made JAWS in 3D, I'd go see that. Provided it was made for 3D, as in filmed that way (like Avatar) and not just thrown in as a gimick after production.

Wizard of Oz

I'm sure you mean the 1939 version.

That was like the 5th version of that story so it was in itself a remake.

Just sayin'.
