Movies that are impossible to remake

[Hammock Rider]

  I don't think they could re-make Billy Jack. It was way too much a product of it's time.

  I'd also hate to see anyone try to remake any of Ed Wood's movies.

FREAKS (1932)

Yeah, I was thinking that myself.  A bunch o the things and conditions that the freaks have are avoidable or cureable nowadays.  Plus, the world is too senstive to try to remake this film.

Kingdom of the Spiders

This one couldn't be remade today with the same impact since the film used real spiders and killed as well.  Animal rights groups would have a field day with it.

I think Hallows is right....but not because their is a short supply of freaks.
Their are deformed folks still here.
We just dont use them in freak shows too much anymore.
And Im not being insensitive-cripes! Im only 5'2" I feel like a freak sometimes.
