What Movies Should NEVER Be Remade?

[jslav06]

Baseketball. I know what you're thinking. How could such a modern day classic be even brought up in a thread like this. Because it cannot and will not ever be remade. Why? People are intimidated by the... sheer amazingness that is Baseketball. And because I'm the only person that likes it. Oh yeah, and because its only like 8 years old.

Isn't Selma Blair the chick that has no tits?

Yeah, that's her, reminds me of an old girlfriend, lol.
Her ass and her face, that's the draw for me.

I'm not a big tit guy though, so that really has little to do with my attraction to females.

My brothers wife is a double D cup, and though they were nice some years ago, their not sitting so high these days, makes her look deformed, lmmfao.
I prefer the medium to smaller tits, they last a lifetime with virtually no change in consistancy or appearance.

Brianna Loves Jenna


Fooking classic! No remakes!

[Mr Badguy]

"Jaws".

I`m sure they could CGI the Shark to fuck these days but it would never be any good.

I hear that they`re going to remake "The Warriors".

That will be shit.

So will the proposed "The A Team".

Who the fuck could play any of the A Team apart from the original actors?

It would be like someone else playing Captain Kirk or Indiana Jones or Dirty Harry.

How about the ridiculous Psycho remake where it was a shot by shot identical copy of the original. The ONLY reason for this piece of shit was that kids today are fucking morons! They wouldn't want to watch the old one because it's black and white and they don't know Anthony Perkins or Janet Leigh, so they have to remake it in colour with modern "actors"....

Now that I'm nearly 39, I have to say that I understand fully why my parents couldn't understand me as a teen. And I was 100 x more in touch with the past as any of today's morons are....

Any Star Wars film

The Graduate

Any Hitchcock film

Those other movies have a better chance of getting some kind of re-make --- not any of the Star Wars flicks.

No studio owns them -- only LUCASFILM.

And as long as Lucas is alive or dead (his kids will take over the company), it will NEVER happen.

The whole premise for Lucas was to be an independent filmaker (that included exclusive rights to his work).

if someone remakes "Enter the Dragon" will be stupid enough to remake "Star Wars: A New Hope"

Tough call...because I don't think any movies should be remade in the strictest of senses...

I would put the Unforgiven on that list...because it's the only Western of it's kind...and totally depended on the actors involved in making it a great film...

I think Die Hard (in the 30 story high...Nakatomi version) in the action front...because it really became a movie that others ripped off from to no avail...and again...depended much on the actors...

Those are just 2 off the top of my head...and don't feel like putting any more thought into it...because they'll all be remade at some point...

Fuckin' A...


...just no need for a remake, of ANYTHING.

We won't be getting any future classics if Hollywood just keeps redoing what came before.

Fuck, rather than remake a film, I'd just as soon Tinsel Town just re-release the originals for limited theatrical runs.

I'd love to go see Halloween in a movie theater. Or the original The Fog. Or The Warriors. Or the original Bad News Bears, vs. a pointless remake (thought Billy Bob was a bit cooler than that).

Too much emphasis on making the big bucks coupled with a contempt for the American moviegoer. By and large, movies seem to be made with a mentaltiy on the part of the filmakers that dictates you have to aim for the lowest common denominator in order to have mass appeal...

..although I will say I really dug Sin City. That was a decent flick that came out in the last 12 months, not a remake or anything, but what the hell?

Let me try this again!

I agree with you 150% percent!

remakes mostly suck like sammy hagar trying to "remake" a CVH-song...

a remake of ANY clint eastwood movie? impossible...

john wayne? ridiculous...

hitchcock? no way...

[BITEYOASS]

Anything done over fifteen years ago does not need a fucking sequel, especially with the same leading actor!?!?!

I've got a head full of ideas that would bring Hollywood mass money and awards.
They just aren't taking unsolicited material from unpublished writers.

That all changes in April when my first kit review is published in Scale Auto. actually it comes out in March, but it's the April '06 issue.

This is only the beginning....
