My vote goes to



Purple Rain.

It's Prince and his music. How do you remake something like that?

Can you think of other movies that are impossible to remake?

The original "Star Wars". As bad as the prequels were, I hope nobody ever remakes the original. "E.T." is another one, please don't ever try to recapture that magic, it would just ruin it. Hardly any actor's today have a damn personality. This is what "The Empire Strikes Back" would sound like if it were made today. Darth Vader: "I AM your father." Luke: F--k you, mother f---er! Don't make me come over there b***h slap you with my good arm!" Princess Leia: "I love you!" Han Solo: "I know that b***h!"

This isn't really a bad movie thing, but whatever

I don't think you could remake Citizen Kane. Now I'm not a person that would say its one of the best movies ever made, but it seems like no director would ever attempt to do it.

What are you all talking about? Michael Bay can remake anything but he'll add unusually attractive young women, explosions, robots and aliens...not saying it would be any good but he probably would try and remake anything...

Has Micheal Bay even directed a remake? I know he's produced a few, but thats not really as important as being a director.

Taxi Driver

You can replace actors but one of the biggest "stars" of that movie is the old Times Square. The look, feel, and mood of that film could never be reproduced.

I Eat Your Skin - a piece of oddly pleasing cinematic trash that would be utterly ruined if it were remade.

Chatterbox (1971). Such a film could never be made in the first place nowadays. Let us be grateful.

Eh, you could just cast it using little people and no one would be the wiser.

No. He is credited with directing . . .

Transformers (all three of them)
The Island
Bad Boys (both of them)
Pearl Harbor
Armageddon
The Rock

but, I don't think you can call any of them a remake.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
