Bad movies that deserve remakes, or you think are going to have remakes

[GrandmasterTorgo]

I feel kinda guilty for wanting to see the Re-Animator remade, but there....I said it. Cemetary Man might be interesting too.

The Killer Shrews could use a remake

NO movie deserves a remake. Despite my hardline answer, however, I'll concede to the notion that not all remakes necessarily suck, they just tend to by default.

I've heard for some time that Russell Brand is going to do a remake of Arthur. Please, no.

For the most part you're right, but your stance would mean a world where Carpenter's THE THING  and Cronenberg's THE FLY wouldn't exist.  A remake of Arthur would indeed be terrible, with or without Russell Brand.

One thing I'd love to see, and this isn't straight remake so much as an adaptation, is a decent Allan Quartermain movie.

Ah, but my stance allows for THE THING and THE FLY, both great films, while holding that  most remakes are sub-par at best.

While I'm not advocating a remake, there is one movie that I'm surprised hasn't gotten a remake yet.  Village of the Giatns  esp since teen comedies were big a couple of years ago. 

A new version of Inherit the Wind could be cool.  I'm sure it would be more controversial today then it was a few decades ago.

Actually, "Inherit the Wind" has been remade three times: in 1965, 1988, and 1999. But all these were productions made for television. Only once has the play by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee been made into a theatrical film, and that was in 1960.

Nude on the Moon. For obvious reasons. With Rose McGowan if at all possible.

[Judge Death]

I'd like to see a remake of Zardoz, even though I don't think it was a bad movie.

[Hammock Rider]

 I'd like to see two of George Pal's movies remade: When Worlds Collide and Doc Savage.

Since Godzilla and King Kong have been remade, why not redo Reptilicus? Imagine having a giant marionette terrorizing a model town being replaced by a CGI monster destroying a CGI city with tons of explosions and shaky camera movement......

......On second thought, better leave it be.

I'd like to see a remake of London After Midnight, IN B/w, and stick strictly to the original script, no CGI.

Transformers... that deserves a RE remake lol!

It seems sooner or later FIEND WITHOUT A FACE is going to be remade. That sounds cool to me.  I can't post a link so I'll cut and paste the article.

A modern redux of the 1958 cult classic FIEND WITHOUT A FACE has been in the works for quite some time now, with filmmakers including Joe Dante, MAY's Lucky McKee and NIGHT OF THE DEMONS' Adam Gierasch involved at various stages. At this past weekend's Saturday Nightmares event in New Jersey, Fango spoke to the man now holding the project's reins: STREET TRASH writer/producer Roy Frumkes.

"I optioned the rights from [original producer] Richard Gordon, who has optioned them several times before," Frumkes tells us; he'd like to have the veteran fear filmmaker play a scientist in the film. "We've been friends for 10 years, and he brought it up one day over lunch and we reached an agreement. Then I set my own deadlines: The option started January 1, and I gave myself two months to write the first draft of the script, which is done, and one month to research it. I've wanted to do this film for 40 years, so I already had it all in my head, and it wasn't hard to write. What I didn't have was the technical information; I'm no science buff. Now I'm interviewing scientists, getting the technology straight."

   I'd like to see The Alamo remade again, but this time cast with as many washed up 80's action stars as possible. Arnie could be Davey Crockett, Steven Seagal could be Col. Travis and Bruce Willis could be Jim Bowie. For hyper-cheesiness they would cast Dolph Lundgren as General Santa Anna. Sly Stallone could be a time traveling John Spartan, dropped into the middle of things by a short circuiting cryogenics machine and Chuck Norris could play Jebidiah Walker, great grandfather of Walker, Texas Ranger.

   They could call it something like Alamo 2: Fresh Out of Ideas.
