Movie Remakes, what should be next

Thirteen Women made in 1932 It is a good story, dealing with biogtry, revenge, murder, deception, and is rarely shown. Bedknobs and Broomsticks 1971 great childrens movie, and since there is such an interest in movies with magic it would be nice to see. Really remake Cheaper by the Dozen, this means instead of using the title and creating such complete fiction, write about the Gilbraiths. For reference look up the old movies Cheaper by the Dozen and Bells on their toes with Myrna Loy.

Interesting question. As far as an old movie redone, I would like to see Micheal Criton's The Andromeda Strain. It's a great movie and I think with today technology it would be very interesting. As for tv show, that one's even harder. Not really sure which one they should remake. I'd have to get back to you on that one.

I told my hubby the other day that I was surprised that The Sound of Music hasn't been remade. I'm not a huge fan of remaking movies too much but there is one movie that I would like to see remade and remade RIGHT - V.C. Andrews "Flowers in the Attic". I think if they got some good actors and followed the story more closly it would be a really interesting movie. And who knows what could come of it if it did well - the others could even be made from that series! I don't know if I sold it well but I'm sure all the V.C. Andrews fans would agree with me :) PS - never seen Cat From Outer Space. That was a bit before my time LOL - but it sounds interesting (just imdb it).

I think " The Car " ( from the '70's here in the States ) Should have a Sequel. Not necessarily be re-done . This was one of my all-time favorite Scary-movies. The reason it should have a sequel is because at the very end after " the Car" has supposedly been demolished....the final seen is....the tires are on the road again , in a different ( geographically )part of the country ( again ...the U.S. )I'm trying ( in vain ) not to give away too many details of this movie , incase some people have never seen it. But...I'm sure it's destined to be a " cult-classic" much like " the Fog" and all of the " Halloween " Series of movies.

I don't know about what older movies they should remake, I like nicolec's suggestion of Andromida Strain though. As for TV shows, well The Greatest American Hero would be great (A comedy series about a guy who finds an alien outfit that gives the wearer superpowers). A live action Iron Man would rock too.

What I'd love to see remade is Gone With The Wind. With Charlize Theron playing Scarlet. I cannot think of a perfect Rhett but I think that's it.

I would enjoy seeing remakes of the following greats: "The Day After"- This movie about a town after a nuclear bomb blast so shook up it's viewers, that the government sent a spokesperson on TV to reassure the public. "Testament" - Another heartbreaking film about survival after a nuclear bomb's radioactive fallout... I was sent to tears by this film... I'll never forget it. "Trilogy Of Terror"- Great three-in-one horrorfest that starred Karen Black, I still find her "Hot!". "The Dunwich Horror"- A Haunted House Flick that was groundbreaking with it's Hollywood style effects in a made-for-TV movie. "The Dark"- Classic Sci-Fi Horror from John Carpenter... this one came out on the big screen, but never really fit on TV... Too Cool and Creepy! "It's Alive!"- Really scary film about an infant-monster who needs to kill in order to live- the underlying message is about how dangerous pollution is to ourselves and the environment... made me cry, actually. "Wicked, Wicked" - Classic Horror-Mystery combo. Great special effects for it's day... I can think of so many, many more great films, but I'm chaffing to see what the other commenters come up with... I still think that there is still a fine psychic "connection" between lovers of these old films and TV shows, and I want to see how many people "hit" on my favorites, too! Great post! I'm gonna re-visit it often! :)

i am sorry to response this discussion. since my childhood i have not seen any hollywood movie or tv show. but as far as remake of bollywood movie is concerned, i would prefer to make remake of Deewar which is all time super duper hit and i am die hard fan of Big B. if i am producer or director, definately i tried my level best to fulfil my dream. Secondly TV show is concerned, i remake BUNIYAD which is totally family drama which is acclaimed by critics as well as masses.

I am personally annoyed and aggrevated by all the re makes. I am a would-be writer and I get so bothered by the lack of original thought among hollywood writers today. But if I had to choose-Gilligan's Island would be a fun movie to see if they casted it right and wrote it satirically. "With Six you get Eggroll."-Classic Doris Day, Brian Keith film that I loved as a child.

I'm always worried when they remake a favorite. Wondering if they are going to do it justice or murder it. I'd love to see a live action Iron Man as well. I am enjoying watching some of my favorite comic book heroes come to the big screen.

with regard to having a movie redone it ll be tje all time classic "God Father".the movie is simply a class of its own.and a tv show it ll be happy days.who can get cooler than the Fonz.

If ever there was a movie in need of a remake, its The Longest Day. This is a classic WWII movie which depicts D-Day on a grand scale from both the Allied and German points of view. With today's special effects this would be a spectacular movie. Of course, the biggest problem would be putting together the cast. The original had over 40 big-name stars! (I would have said Dam Busters as my first pick, but it looks like this will be remade by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings, King Kong) and released in 2008). A television series that needs a remake is something harder to pick. I don't watch a lot of TV (other than sports and CSIs). But I think with some good writing, Get Smart good be successfully reborn. Maybe without the slapstick gadgetry... more like Johnny English with Rowan Atkinson. And you'd have to find somebody who could live up to Don Adams without trying to mimic him.

I think that it would be good to do a remake of the old star wars movies, even though they are quite good as it is, but it would fit in more with the new ones, as they use tecnology that didn't exist when the first ones came out.

make a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. MOVIE! that will be a good and funny movie.

I think the movie "Harry met sally" should have a remake with fresh couple

I really don,t like remakes. This seems so useless to me. There might be some examples of OK remakes, but generally their laughable and a pale shadow of their original film. It strikes me as they are made as a weak effort to make money on something that has proven successful. This is just my opinion, but I feel Hollywood in particular has gone blank with ideas, not "the whole hollywood" but some studios. Like they can,t think of something new, so the already made, just to make it again. I can understand if it,s a foreign film, and hoolywood makes a remake, bacause as I have been given hints on, american are not crazy about subtitles, so that might be ok. But to compare, I think remakes is the same as a "painter" remakes/paints "the Mona Lisa" by Davinci, just to make a sure bet, on creating a new example of something already successfully made. No, instead of remakes, They should put effort in making new films, instead of trying to squeeze old good movies to make new ones and more money.

One that should be redone is the African Queen this was a great one it had bogart and hepburn adn how they tried to sink a germany warship in africa. Remaking it using some of the filming technology out there today woudl make the story adn the movie that much more adn really show the beauty of the area. For a TV show would liek them to do some of the side stories to the Star Wars movies to build more of the characters and there life befroe the movies.

well i would go for iron man coz is aman of steel an will capture the crowds just like clark kent ie smallvile (superman)
