There are four for me:

VON RYAN'S EXPRESS
THE EAGLE HAS LANDED
THE SHINING
GHOST STORY

All four based on books I loved but their film adaptations were a bit 💩

Not so much a remake, but Id like to see some of the special effects in Jaws updated. Not in the quite the same way as Lucas did with Star Wars, but just some more subtle touches here and there, like when the shark rolls onto its side to bite a swimmer.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god
I require no shepherd
For I am no sheep.

MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE. Great idea and atmosphere, but terrible execution. Also, not many movies had the balls to show that ending. I would love to see a fully-fleshed Torgo with proper goat legs.

Something just made me think of I Married A Monster From Outer Space, with the roles reversed, but I'm sure it's already been done.....

The Lost World

Neither the 1925 version nor the 1960 version actually adapt the novel.

The 90's TV movie did, but it felt underwhelming.

Island At the Top of the World

Story was right. FX were not. Disney would probably mess up the story today.

The Land Time Forgot

Decent version of the story. Bad FX.

John Carter of Mars

Good FX. Bad version of the story.
