Remakes I'd like to see

[Gator Monroe]

Movies that need to be Re-made "Hell in the Pacific" "A Clockwork Orange" "Gaslight" " Song of the South" " The Swimmer"

[Gaffer]

They don't seem to be able to make anything new and creative so they might as well go back to some of the successful movies and use special effects to enhance the story.

[Gator Monroe]

I forgot "The Sand Pebbles" & It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World"

[Noir]

If they remake Clockwork they need smacked, you don't remake Kubrick.

He got it so wrong (The Alex DeLarge in the movie was in his 20's , and in the Book he was under 15 years old)

[Gaffer]

A remake of Sand Pebbles would be cool. I'll pass on mad world. I wouldn't mind a good remake of Longest Day.

[Gator Monroe]

Mad Mad would have 5 A list & 10 Lower tier former A list Actors to create the greatest Mix of modern Film era talent ever in one place . 7 Oscar Winners would give it Gravitas also ...

Today you would get one A list, 6 mediocre actors, two has beens and an ex-porn star. Along with a big helping of liberal propaganda.

You do not want to see a remake of Song of the South. Seriously, you don't, because since Disney is just so upset about the "racism" in it, they would likely tear out a lot of really good parts just for the sake of making sure they don't offend anyone.

Song of the South (New Version would be Dark Humor with Dave Chappelle & a John Watters kinda Direction with a little David Lynch Danger /Wierdness.

A Clockwork Orange remade? What for?

[jimnyc]

A Clockwork Orange remade? What for?

Because that was a fantastic movie from one helluva director. Been nearly 40yrs since the original came out and it's still getting great reviews. You may not like their portrayed acting in the first half of the movie, but the entire movie and premise was awesome, even if a bit odd at times.

[Wind Song]

I only saw the movie once. I nearly walked out on it in the first 15 minutes. I wanted to throw up at the violence.

I'm glad I stayed and saw it all the way through. A Clockwork Orange is a brilliant film. I don't see a need for it to be re-made.

I don't see a need either. BUT, if they did, it would certainly be on my must see list. The original is an absolute classic. I think I've seen it about 15x now!

Wow. That must be some of a record.

Also a Different Take (Modernization) on "Southern Comfort" or "Quiet Cool" would fit todays audiences...

I'm not familiar with either of those movies.

They are not Woody Allen or Spike Lee Films ,thats for sure... ( But Quiet Cool was as obscure as Limited Release could be)

[Gator Monroe]

A different Take on " What Waits Below" & "The Keep" for Horror Fans & a Re-Boot of the "Dr. Phibes" Films too

[Abbey Marie]

A remake of Easy Rider, where everyone rides Segways. :laugh2:

You're funny. You think the only movies I'd watch would be Woody Allen or Spike Lee?:laugh2:

A remake of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with a New Burl Ives

Can someone please name me a remade movie that was is better than the original we thought was great ? Because I seem to be disappointed with the one's I've seen. The movies that are most enjoyable to me have a great story matched with great performances by gifted actors. The remakes Iv'e seen all have lost a lot of the real story with a relience on special effects and the personality of the original is never recaptured.

One of my favorites is Lifeboat. 95% of the movie was filmed in an 18' lifeboat in a pool on a studio set and was all acting. A great movie of personalities and survival with few props and I don't know if todays actors or producers could do as fine a job.

The Alamo.

The Alamo.

But John Wayne wasn't in the remake!

[Gaffer]

True, which made it better. The remake was also more historically accurate.

I never considered John Wayne a great actor. He just made a lot of movies.

Surprisingly the remake of True Grit was pretty good.

[Gator Monroe]

Scarface was better than the Original "Scarface"

[Gator Monroe]

7 Days in May:clap:

[jimnyc]

I think they should do a remake of "Frosty the Snowman". In the updated version, don't let him melt. It's supposed to be the Holiday Season when they air this movie, and it's geared towards kids. I was scarred when I watched him "die" when I was a younger lad. Granted, he comes back to life, but the damage is done. :poke:

Which Southern Comfort? The one with Keith Carradine and Powers Boothe from 1981 or the other one about the Tranny with cancer?
In either case, a remake is not necessary :p
Southern Comfort (1981) is too good to be remade and no one wants to see a Tranny get cancer twice...I think.

[Gator Monroe]

Southern Comfort 1981 ( Rural Southern Folks as Bad Actors = Easy Money)

The Shining...remake way better than original. I like Jack, but the script was really out of whack with the book, and I was cheering that he'd get to the stupid bitch Duvalle...how in hell she was cast I'll never know.
