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.

They could remake The Last Airbender and just follow the cartoon this time, while keeping Shaymalan far, far away from it.

Big Trouble in Little China

I know the rock thinks he can do anything but he's not jack burton.

I can't think of a movie that could be better if remade now.

Devils Advocate maybe

Can't:
The original Star Wars trilogy
The Rocky Horror Picture Show (no one can replace Tim Curry)
One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest (Jack is just amazing in that movie)
The Texas Chainsaw Masacre (they will never capture that raw, gritty feel of that movie again)
The Exorcist
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
Cadyshack
Any Mel Brooks movie
Labyrinth(Bowie will always be The Goblin King)

Can
48 hours
Mad Max trilogy

I used to think Indiana Jones . . . but give it 10 years.

Dirty Harry movies can't be remade.

Smokey and the Bandit - language use- no one can replace Gleason; not to mention the slut character of Sally Field would have just shacked up with Junior and no wedding; also all the technology with radios, onstar, cell phones, goodie two shoes SJW types who would want the Bandit prosecuted for every conceivable offence, and of course the mere fact that THEY DON'T MAKE PONTIACS anymore.

Birth of a Nation.

The first blockbuster. It would not do well today to remake a movie where the Heroes are the KKK.
