Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) - I'm excited.

Pet Sematary (? date) - Not sure yet. This is my favorite horror film. I like the original the way it is. My prediction - it'll suck. But I want it to be badass scary.

Point Break (2015) - Meh. Original is perfect. Will probably fail.

The Crow (? date) - Seriously? Remaking this movie is a stupid idea. Plus it stars Luke Evans. Will be a shite show.


The Orphanage (? date) - This one needs to be remade. Will be solid but not the best horror film. Just solid.

Barbarella (2014 TV movie) - Well, I was excited until I noticed it's a made for TV movie. Therefore, no nudity...will suck.

Dirty Dancing (? date) - What...the...frick? I hate Hollywood.

Drop Dead Fred (? date) - couldn't be worse than the original. I have some hope for this providing they choose the right comedian.

Starship Troopers (? date) - Hollywood's stupid.

The NeverEnding Story (?) - If Jim Henson Company is on board then it will be a masterpiece. If not, it'll be awful. I need to find out more info before deciding whether or not this movie will be good.

War Games (?) - I may fricking blow up the Hollywood sign...

Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits (?) - This may be the most mind blowingly stupid decision to remake a one of a kind movie. Jesus!

Akira (?) - frickING EXCITED!!!! CAN'T WAIT!

American Psycho (?) - Well, Movie Board...what do you think?


The Birds (?) -

Commando - I'm actually on board for this to be remade. I don't know why.

Heavy Metal - At first I was like "dammit! What the frick?". And then I read that it is being directed by David Fincher and I was like, "I'm super fricking on board! Bring it on!" This will be great.

Highlander - this is real life. a remake will actually happen. morons.

Romancing the Stone -

Scarface - some producer needs to be drawn and quartered

Short Circuit - meh

Flight of the Navigator - Could be very good. I'm excited.

Videodrome - for frick's sake.

Jacob's Ladder - I swear that Hollywood needs a fricking reboot. this makes me sick.

Jumanji wtf

Weird Science wtf

Poltergeist what the motherfrick?

Gremlins wtf

Bloodsport wtf

Police Academy - I'm going to punch the computer.

Suspiria - Argento is rolling in his grave

Young Sherlock Holmes - One of my secret favorite films. The remake will be shite.

Overboard - seriously. This is for real.

Battle Royale - aka The Hunger Games. LOL. This will probably be far better than the Hunger Games. I'm officially excited!!!

Hellraiser - derp. derp. derp

Private Benjamin - L...O...L

Ben Hur - Will be epic!!! Excited!

I don't mind remakes that much. It doesn't blank out the originals or anything.

I also don't know why I'm with you on this one.

Not only no, but HELL NAW, to virtually all of the rest. Any that I don't think that about probably shouldn't have been made in the first place.

Here's a twist- Milano should play the lead (the kick arse soldier) in Commando, and have one of Arnold's sons play the kid.

Jacob's Ladder is the one movie that shouldn't be remade. It's perfect. A true masterpiece.

How can anyone remake it better than the original?

Won't happen. Therefore, why do it at all?

Not going to lie, I hated it the first time I tried to watch it - but I was stupid kid and didn't know $hit about $hit - after a little life experience I was able to appreciate the film much more - I'm not as enamored of it as you are, but:

A. There ain't no such animal as "perfect", and

2. I would balk at even "masterpiece" - but I'll stipulate that as a final product, and for what it set out to do, it's extremely well-done and should not be remade.

Why? Scarface is a terrible movie. A re-make might actually be pretty awesome.

A Police Academy remake would be money if they could tie it into the Psych storyline and cast these guys:
