This has come up before, but there are a number of movies just screaming to be remade with an all midget cast:

Top Gun
Rocky
The Terminator
Dawn of the Dead
Jaws
Saving Private Ryan
Singin' in the Rain
Kill Bill

Well, Tom Cruise isn't too tall to begin with. Perhaps he could star in the remake as well?

How beautifully wrong.

Watching Beyond Thunderdome the other night and seeing the antics of Master Blaster on the big screen actually got me thinking of what happened to midgets in movies.  And then a trailer for Little Man came on tv and I got kind of worried...

Anyways, some movies that could well do with a midget cast:

Any Godzilla film.
Goodfellas.  Or maybe really any hardcore gangster film
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas [just to add to the insanity even further]
Austin Powers 2 [and have the only tall cast member to play Mini-me]

Hmmm . . . how about these:

* JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH
* SHOWGIRLS
* BONNIE AND CLYDE
* ENTER THE DRAGON
* STAR WARS
* X-MEN
* FIDDLER ON THE ROOF
* THE GODFATHER
* GIGLI

Batman Begins
Charlies Angels
Nosferatu (how creepy would that be!)
Dead Alive

...and...dare I say it?  Road Warrior

Oh hell...I will be even more politically incorrect:

How about Cujo but they can use a poodle or some other small dog?

Oooo, midgets in gangster films. Add the Last Man Standing to the list.

For that matter, an all-midget Fistfull of Dollars would be pretty good too.

If we're talking war movies, how about The Great Escape? Or maybe Kelly's Heroes. Oooo, an all-midget Dirty Dozen!

Come to think of it, are there any more well-known midget actors? I mean, you used to have Billy Barty, Warwick Davis (I guess he's still around), Herve Villechaize, David Rappaport and some others who pretty much appeared anywhere you needed little people. Today, Verne Troyer is about the only one who is really famous.

I'm liking all these suggestions, but I think any remake should have a title to match. In addition to the actual (abandoned) project to make Hang 'Em Not So High, for example, certain other Westerns ought to be renamed:

The Midget With No Name
Fist Full of Dimes
The Diminutive Seven
Heaven's Tiny Gate
The Midget Who Shot Little Imbalance
Forty Derringers
Not So High Noon
The Small T
The Short Train Robbery
True Bit

Obviously, this applies to other genres as well. I don't think a remake of Showgirls would even be legal, but if it were, the remake title should be obvious:

Lowgirls

Yep,
How about Tony Cox?


He could star in a thug/gangsta midget movie similar to Boyz n Da Hood.
They could do drive by's on tricycles and Big Wheels.

Or how about that midget guy who hung around with Kramer in Seinfeld?
What was his real name?

I'd like to see a remake of THIRTEEN DAYS, the retelling of the Cuban Missile Crisis, with an all midget/dwarf cast.  That would be fascinating.

"Oooo, midgets in gangster films"- AndyC

When I was a wee lad, there was a movie called Buggsy Malone wheere kids played all the parts.  Not midgets, but close.

I persoanlly would like Conan with an all midget cast
