Most movies based on old TV shows (Flintstones, Beverly Hillbillies, I Spy, etc.) are usually no good, so leave it alone, lol.

 

[MarielovesMJ]

Many Black exploitation films from the 70's. But also some black films that are always lumped into this category (but are not), like The Wiz, Cornbread and earl, Claudette, colley high, ect.

 

[Starde]

I wish Hollywood would stop with the freakin' remakes! It's bad enough that they're remaking My Fair Lady and Bonnie and Clyde. uke:

 

[PurpleParrot]

PRINCESS BRIDE!!!

Never ever ever remake this film cause it's just PERFECT the way it was done!

LABYRINTH!!!

Just nobody can handle the grey stretch leggings like David Bowie, sorry dude!

THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!!

Just don't touch it!

SISSI!!!

Please don't even try to mess up beautiful Romy's rendition! It's just too epic!

 

[Thriller_MJ]

The Exorcist
An American Wear-wolf in London

 

[analogue]

I really hope that no one over at Hollywood is reading this thread. It may just give them some very wrong ideas

 

[Upside]

Return of the Living Dead FTW! Yeah, let's hope they leave this one alone... Zombie remakes tend to suck.

I hear they're remaking Drop Dead Fred with Russell Brand playing Fred. *shivers*

 

[DuranDuran]

The Exorcist
An American Wear-wolf in London

I think the 1st one has been remade already, and I've heard that the 2nd is being filmed now, but I've never seen Wearwolf In London. I don't like horror movies, except those old ones from the 1930s.

Ben Hur
Easy rider

As well as any of Harold Lloyd, Buster Keaton, Charlie Chaplin, and Laurel and Hardy movies.

 

[Marilyn Monroe]

really theres so many that should not be remade at all....this whole notion of updating movies for the current times is stupid. the whole point of a great movie aside from amazing story lines or actors-of-that-time is that its from a certain time period..whether it is 50's 70's 80's. ...i dont need to see a 80s updated movie with added modern technology crap for the hell of it or one of the lame modern actors now. Leave it alone.

although theres some great remakes out there like Father of the Bride with Steve Martin- remade beautifully....and the movie Sabrina too.

Back to the Future i don't want to see remade. and i agree with E.T. it belongs in the awesome 80's.

one think i will add is any remake of John Hughes movies....(oh there have been fools trying though.
Plains Trains and Automobiles
Home Alone (although it should have been stopped after number 2)
National Lampoon's Vacation
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Uncle Buck
Sixteen Candles
etc etc etc. leave them alone

 

[xo_lola_xo]

To Kill A Mockingbird.

 

[The One.]

This Is It

:rofl:

Let's just say.. all the classics should be left untouched imo.

 

[DuranDuran]

Charade

Charade

This has been remade with Marky Mark, but it had a different title. I think it was called "Something About Charlie". The only reason I saw it was because I was at a friend's house and he rented it.

Really I didn't know that. But I am glad I didn't know that because I want to see Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn in that movie. And not someone else playing their parts.

Agreed with the bold. The Scarlett sequel to GWTW was bad enough. Scarlett still a manipulator? I don't think so. :no: I still haven't seen E.T.

I wish Hollywood would stop with the freakin' remakes! It's bad enough that they're remaking My Fair Lady and Bonnie and Clyde. uke:

I second the bolded ones.

NO Remake of 'Rear Window'
NO 'The Bodyguard 2'
Or 'It Happened One Night'
'Sunset Boulevard'
The Untouchables

Seriously, I think there are an enormous amount of remakes today in Hollywood and that is sad.
