Caddyshack II. We definitely need a dark and gritty version.

None. If a movie was great the first time around, leave it alone. If it wasn't great in the first place, nobody wants to see it again so don't bother.

They remade Psycho and The Omen. What made anyone think they could make those better?? Next thing you know they will try and remake Star Wars or the Godfather.

The Omen really was terrible. It was like they sucked out all of the atmosphere from the first one, cut the awesome score, and had Liev Schreiber act like he was reading a phone book.

Iconic horror movies are always a fail, IMO. Halloween comes to mind, also.

ETA: The Thing, too

It was awful - I didn't even bother to finish watching it.
Who watched the original and said "hey, I am so fabulous I can take one of the all-time great horror films and make it better"??

7 brides for 7 brothers. I don't usually like musicals but this was a good one. This had a lot of plot potential that was lost to song and dance. It hasn't been done to death either.

Excalibur, Excalibur, a thousand times Excalibur

One of my favorite movies growing up and one I still watch at least once annually. This would benefit big time from modern CGI.

They are remaking this movie. A script was written but now I think they are making a new one.

Dune was a good series but there are far better stories I would like come to screen.

I would love a remake of Highlander. This has been in the works for some time with at one point Ryan Reynolds tapped to play Conner Macleod of the clan Macleod, but thankfully he was dropped from the project or never signed on to begin with.

None whatsoever.

(After 1990 - none whatsoever).

(Movies from 1990 exactly? None whatsoever).

I dunno. It was a pretty great book that they made into a shitty movie. I'd think it would be worth them taking another shot and trying to do right.

I strongly dislike remakes and encourage original content. Sequels, maybe, but not remakes.
