You could remake E.T. (I wouldn't be in favor but it's not some holy grail.) It's a common story, alien comes to earth, fish out of water.

On your list, Gone with the Wind would be the biggest offense.

At one point it was the biggest movie of all-time before all this James Cameron nonsense.

I would add Lawrence of Arabia. That would really disturb me...bastardizing that film.

Only because they don't make movies like that anymore, they're too expensive...

It's old school grand expensive film-making on location...if Hollywood has abandoned that, they should let all those movies alone that went to the lengths and expense to make those epics.

fricking why?

It's a perfect movie as is. There's no value add to redoing it. Just let it be.

Ghostbusters. Kristin Wiig, McCarthy, Jones and McKinnen were so perfect that it should never be touched.

My penis moved a little during the Ready Player One scenes with the Delorean. That is all I really need to settle my nostalgia fix

Coming to America.

It wouldn't work in an era where Lisa can Google Zamunda on her smartphone.
