Not a remake, but I'm still waiting on the sequel to Spaceballs. "Spaceballs 3: The Search For 'Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money'"

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.


Never thought of that, but it's a good point. Don't give the supermodel a makeover, give the makeover to the dorky shy girl. I'm sure they're worried about the remake having the same stigma as the original flop, but it makes sense that you should adapt something with good potential but failed execution.

As such, I like someone's suggestion of Water World. Every time it comes on I want to love that movie, just has so much potential IMO, but never makes it there.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang minus the musical with a R rating and an October release.

The beloved family movie will start off imaginative and lighthearted. It will then take a sharp 90 degree turn when the Baron is introduced with his village of children slaves under the city. Obviously, the child catcher will have a much larger role with a supernatural feel. I could make this movie one of the creepiest flicks of the century.

Neighbors with Belushi was a dud

Always thought it could've been great with a comedic director

Not too old, but The Last Starfighter.

Although, I'm afraid the appeal of the movie lies in the infancy cgi, cheesy 80's everything.

Logan's Run seems like a good candidate. Good idea, mediocre execution in the original.

Or another Michael York movie - Zeppelin.
