What would it be?

I would like to put a cap on the Wizard of Oz. No good film has come out of that since the 1939 masterpiece and MAYBE a cult warm spot for Return to Oz.




But I'd have to go with Shawshank Redemption. Leave it alone forever.

I have no problems with remakes or reboots. to me it does not diminish my enjoyment of the originals in any way. if it's something I loved and the remake is enjoyable then I am thrilled to have more of it. if it sucks then oh well I still have the original.

The Oz movie with James Franco was a surprisingly good.

This movie was just about perfect. The acting was top notch, the score was top notch, the pacing and direction was top notch.

Not sure how it could be remade any better than the original. Not saying it is the best movie ever made, but I just don't see room for improvement.

Not like new technology could make it better, whereas, I could see Oz being remade, possibly better. Yes Blasphemy, but with better tech, it is possible.

I like remakes. The existence of a new movie doesn't wipe out the existence of the original.
