Old movies you'd like to see remade....

Citizen Kane, I think Michael Bay would be an excellent director for it.

None - Hollywood should think of new ideas

Duel ( only if Spielberg directs it)

I could see old 80s movies like Goonies, Poltergeist remade and do well commercially.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Since you brought up Jules Verne, I'd like to see a REAL Journey to the Center of the Earth remake. Not that stupid crap with Brendan Frasier.

War of the Worlds.

But not another Speilberg-type adaptation.

An intellectual version truer to the book.

Jason and the Argonauts

That would end up just like Hercules/Clash of the Titans(remake)/The Immortals

The Strange Case Of Dr. Jeckyll And Mr. Hyde

Water World

Instead of constantly wanting to remake old movies Hollywood should be looking for fresh and new ideas to bring to the silver screen. Is Hollywood so devoid of talented writers that all they can do is constantly look for old movies to update or remake. My god do they not have screen writers in Hollywood anymore? Or we not on our third or fourth telling of Stephen Kings book Carrie?

Soderbergh made a good point earlier in a talk this year that Hollywood gets remakes wrong.

He said that Hollywood always remakes well regarded or mostly successful films. But that there are ton of great ideas and great stories that were poorly executed or poorly handled and could probably deserve a remake.

Not only would it be something "more new," but the content is there already to use.

We don't see those films enough to know what would be worthwhile.

I'd say The 10th Victim though. That could be fun.
