What movies do we want remakes of?

Just seeing what everyone would actually enjoy seeing a remake of. Since Hollywood is giving them to us anyway, is there any movie you actually want to see re-done?

    Dune. That's always going to be my number one choice. They've tried and tried and it's just not working. It's a great sci-fi story, and with sci-fi being such a big thing again, it's a great time for it.

    Other than that, I try to avoid the remakes, but there are sometimes I'd love to see what they'd do with a story in today's world...

    Logan's Run
    TRON (don't give me that Legacy crap)
    The Never-Ending Story

      Thumbs up to all of them. I like remakes for the same reason. To see how they would be done with today's technology. I mean remember those old LOTR movies they tried to do? They just didn't work. Step in Peter Jackson and CG and voila! The movie from our imaginations!

    Oh, I might as well throw Daredevil up here too. I know they're working on the reboot, and I'm so excited for it. Daredevil could be a great property, but it just wasn't handled well.

    Yeah, I agree that Daredevil really needs to be done better. The Ben Affleck one was just laughable. I didn't buy it at all. The only thing I liked about that movie was Colin Farrel as Bullseye. He was just hilarious. But the Kingpin was awful and the fights were horrendous.

    I would like to see a remake of Singing in the Rain. I know, kind of hokie but with all these dance and singing shows, you would think they could come up with a fresh and relevant take on this musical or some of the other classic musicals as well. Although I am not sure I can stand a remake of the Exorcist...I like horror but that still creeps me out til this day.;)

      That could be interesting. Maybe as the musicals start making more of a comeback the studios will revisit those old movies for remakes. Hell if Footloose can get a remake so can this one!

    I don't know about an Exorcist remake. I mean, with so many other exorcism movies out there now, I just don't know that a remake would stand out. Besides, it's almost too classic, to the point where a remake could only be worse. Like what happened with the Omen remake.

    Awesome question! Let's see... Krull, Excalibur, The Dark Crystal, even Willow. Love the originals but I like remakes if they are done well. Tho I can't think of one off the top of my head... oh yeah. I know a lot of people didn't like this one, but I actually liked the new Clash of the Titans for the most part.

    You know Kyra, I don't necessarily want a remake of The Dark Crystal. I think they nailed it perfectly. What I really want is for them to hurry up and finish the damn sequel they've been working on!

    Oh and Highlander....I love the original film a great deal, but I want to see this series continue, and there's just no way that can happen based off of what the franchise has turned into. So a fresh start can see this series revived.

    Honestly, none. I am sure you all seen what happened to "Straw Dogs," yes?

    Actually I haven't seen Straw Dogs (and wasn't really planning on it either), but I do think some films need, if not a remake, then a reboot. There are tons of franchise that would do well in today's market if only they could be brought back successfully. Like Godzilla, I'm really looking forward to that one.
