The All Midget Remake

[Andrew]

"Showgirls!"  Man, that is almost genius, I actually started laughing here.  Glad that I was not drinking anything.  That and "The Matrix" (as suggested in another post) are definitely joining the list.  

More that jumped to mind:

The Bridge on the River Kwai
Highlander
Chariots of Fire
Casablanca
Army of Darkness
Forrest Gump
Scream (just imagine Drew Barrymore's character reaching up to get the phone off the counter)
Excalibur
Remember the Titans

I remember Bugsy Malone. Scott Baio in an all-kids musical about gangsters with machine guns that shoot whipped cream. One of a kind.

Bugsy Malone had Jodie Foster in it as well.

Silence of the Lambs
Any kung fu movie, especially one with extended wire fighting scenes


One I've always wanted to see was Somewhere Under the Rainbow, a pseudo documentary about the filming of the Wizard of Oz and the hotel that all the midgets were staying in.  They supposedly destroyed the place. And the director had a hard time keeping the midgets from making out with each other in the scenery, since some of them had never seen another midget in their lives....

And let's not forget Lowbot Monster, starring a little guy in a chimpanzee suit with a fish bowl on his head.

Under the Rainbow (1981) is a complete work of fiction, based very loosely on a series of evolved rumors that were originally started by low brow jokes.
The sad part is, even thoungh they had one hundred-fifty of them, this movie isn't really about the midgets, but rather about a series of mishaps involving an assassin, a Nazi spy and a government agent that happens to take place in a hotel with 150 midgets in the background.

King Kong could even use a regular-sized gorilla. Genius!

If you're going to redo Showgirls, you might as well throw in Boogie Nights as well.

And how about

Gone With the Wind

Citizen Kane

Hamlet

Who knows? Maybe midgets could even make The Sound of Music watchable for me.

[AndyC]

Hmmm, Blade..... How about Sling Blade?

[RCMerchant]

Planet of the Apes would be cool,because they could use chimps(like in the little mini-all-chimp-spoofs they used to have on TNT) alongside the midgets! Talking chimps AND midgets!!!!

[LilCerberus]

Personally, I've never really been that much of a zombie flick fan, but somehow I can't help thinking that Night of the Living Dead... No, wait a minute. That's already been done.

Spider-Man 2.

The Exorcist.

Die Hard.

[Shadowphile]

Any of these films could be entered into competition as 'shorts'

I know it's weird but this post is hard for me to answer.  I have some kind of strange fear over midgets.  My worst nightmare would be in an enclosed room with no way out full of balloons, clowns, and midgets.  Wonder why...maybe I was a circus freak in a past life?

Maybe for me, an all midget cast of the Halloween would be well suited!  A midget Michael Myers just gives me the heebeegeebees thinking about it.
