For some reason, I keep expecting a pale, weak remake of Fritz Lang's M (1931), starring a bunch of washed up New England celebrities who have somehow maintained their Yankee accents, and would have lots of annoyingly unsubtle anti-police, pro-communist undertones to it...

It's already been done. In 1951, it was remade with David Wayne in the Peter Lorre role, with the story being set in California. I haven't seen the remake, so I can't comment on it, but I do know that it has its fans, which says something about a remake of a film that is considered a classic.

There was also a graphic novelization of the story with artist/writer using his friends, neighbors, relatives as the characters in the story and using as a background for the story the German-American area of Cincinnati (Ohio.)

As for Barbarella, yeah, I'd be up for a remake of one of my favorite comic strips. I did hear the rumor that it was suppose to be remade with Drew Barrymore in the Jane Fonda role, but nothing seems to have come of that.

. . . a politically correct version of SONG OF THE SOUTH?

. . . a remake of EASY RIDER with two millennials traveling across the United States in an SUV? (well, I guess Albert Brooks came close with LOST IN AMERICA)

. . . a movie called THE SELFIE OF DORIAN GRAY?

. . . a movie based on THE MANY LOVES OF DOBIE GILLIS?

My first though was Made In The U.S.A. (1987), a flick about two down & out small town thieves who head west looking for a calendar girl, & find nothing but trouble (along with a number of inaccurate environmental statements) along the way.

Hollywood's probably been trying to cash in on that bonanza since Two-Lane Blacktop (1971), about a pair of drag racers who's only relationship is with their car, until a girl comes between them & they accept a challenge from a 40 year old poser.

Come to think of it, Thunderbolt and Lightfoot (1974) starts out as a road movie when two completely different kinds of con men wind up together...

And I've always wanted to see Roadside Prophets (1992) but never got around to it...

The thing most copycats tend to forget about easy rider, is how it starts off with two low lifes getting rich off a couple pounds of cocaine, and the rest of the movie is either improvised or video postcards...

These days, the movie would be about getting on the interstate, getting where you wanna go in under eight hours, and PFFT!

Ooh... Remake of Easy Rider: A bunch of college bicycle junkies decide to go on a cross country bicycle trip over the summer break, & keep getting arrested for breezing through stop signs, taking their bikes on the interstate, holding up traffic, etc...

They keep wrecking their bikes on substandard roads, getting run off the road on rural routes by impatient drivers...

Ultimately, they run out of money, stamina, and above all, didn't really factor in just how long a bicycling tour would take, and only make it a little over 1/8 of the way to their destination...

A remake of ROSEMARY'S BABY. I know there have been rip-offs- but-ya know. I'm glad they haven't.

They did a remake not long ago. I didn't like it.
