Movies that can never be remade

A Night At The Opera is my favorite! Animal House is a classic. There wouldn't be any of the gross out so called comedies without it. I like Animal House far better.

Animal house I have no idea why they even bothered remaking psycho! Vince Vaughan is no Anthony Perkins! As for the Marx Brothers, they are timeless. I don't think there has been any act that can beat them. I think it is about time that these guys had a full back catalogue re-release. "That's, that's what they call a sanity clause" "Ha You can't fool me. There ain't no Sanity Clause"

I have very fond memories of the Marx brothers, my Dad loves them and it rubbed off on me. I have all the movies on VHS. I just wish they would re release them all on DVD. They only have half of their work on dvd I agree, Animal House definatly paved the way for the gross out comedies

Pretty Woman. Nice choice. I love this movie! I can't think of any movie which seems to be a failed copy of Pretty woman. They may do a movie with a similar story but not a total remake. Maybe just an adaptation of the story. Hmmm... There are several remakes that I totally hate. The Nightmare on Elm St. didn't excite me. I didn't even finish watching the movie. It's very far from the original. I remember The Nightmare on Elm St. as my favorite horror movie when I was little. My sassy Girl really sucks. It's originally a Korean movie. The original is fantastic, unique. The remake is a trash! The Echo, a hollywood horror movie, originally a Filipino movie called Sigaw (Scream/Yell in english), is the most boring movie I've ever seen! The remake of The Ring and The Grudge, both Japanese horrors, suck as well. Not as good as the original Japanese version. Not even scary in my opinion. I can't think of any more. I'm sure I've seen a lot of failed remakes but those are what I can recall as of now. :p my sassy girl sigaw (the echo) the ring the grudge

oops. sorry for that little list at the end. i was trying to recall the movies before sending a reply and forgot to delete them.

I mean, remake?

I agree zone, 99% of remakes are not as good as the original...have you seen a horror movie called Black Christmas? The original was sooo creepy and good! The remake was just gross! Why add incest between a mother and a YOUNG son in a movie!?!?!? THERE'S NO REASON! Haha. But I will say that there is one movie that I thought the remake was at least almost as good as the original (probably not better, but not a bad movie at all). Have you seen either of "The Hitcher"'s? I'll try to think of other movies where a remake was as good as the origial, may be a while! Haha

Lily, Black Christmas is a classic, why they had to ruin it is beyond me! It is always funny how this happens but when a movie is mentioned by you,its on tv lol. The horror channel have an evilution of horror season on and last night was slasher night and Black Christmas was the second movie I have seen The Hitcher movies, I have to say I did like them both. I did like the differnt end in the remake but I think I would just give up, if I was up against Rutger Hauer Sean Bean, I might be a little more brave lol

I agree, all movies can be remade but it does not mean they should! Can you name a few movie remakes that were better the the originals? They are few and far between.

Lol. I think Ghostbusters can be remade. Ghostbusters is one of the famous cartoon series way back then so espect a remake one of these days. hehe..

I think Ghostbusters 3 might be on the cards if all goes well, a sequel is always better than a remake at least!

I agree. I think movies like Ghostbusters, Transformers, and other superhero movies and the like suits sequels more.
