Tombstone

There's no way in Hell they could find a better Doc Holiday than Val Kilmer.

No remake: Cool Hand Luke


Possible remake if done right:

The Graduate. - there is plenty of material to work with here. The angst of the Millenial generation, frustrated about no job prospects after college, confusing sexual times, awkward romantic relationship between 2 people who feel trapped by their circumstances, etc.

The Back To The Future series

People always talk about how hard it would be to replace Fox & Lloyd but I think it would be impossible to replace Billy Zane in the BTTF series.

I think Pulp Fiction needs a reboot or re-make. It has certainly aged. I think maybe JJ Abrams can do it and hopefully there will be more explosions this time, the last Star Trek totally ruined the entire point of Star Trek...and now we are on to Star Wars...which apparently is what people want.)

So I think we should blow-up Pulp Fiction...just to transform all cinema and do everything over...better, more explosions, female leads. Maybe some bad directing, bubble-gum dialogue, stupid action in the Jack Rabbits Slims scene, we could have fights and corny dialogue and a bunch of lens flares over the $5 milkshake.

I don't know it they could do it successfully or not, but you know in a decade, 2, or 3, the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings will be remade.
