re: Movies that you wish could be remade (but won't) with better production quality

Raise the Titanic (and actually follow the book)

and find a better actor for Dirk Pitt.

Neither Richard Jordan nor Matthew McConaughey came even close to portraying Dirk Pitt.

I actually had an opportunity to work on a project and chat with Clive Cussler. He was not happy with Raise the Titanic movie. He didn't like Richard Jordan as Pitt and said that he couldn't think of an actor that would adequately play Dirk.
