I would like to see some more musical remakes like Hairspray.
Some of those old movies are so great. But I guess not everyone can dance like Danny Kay anymore etc.
I would really love to see "The Neverending Story" done again with some minimal digital here and theres.
I would also like to see a re-make of "the last unicorn". It was a cartoon but same deal.
I would love to see a live action of "ninja scroll"
for real though. dont just pull something like Star Wars outta your ass. really think about it. and explain your answer, please. it should be something at least twenty years old, shouldnt it. i would also think the original should have been either not good, or not successful. this is just my logic - but pick anything you want. having said that, i nominate:
The Day After - Jason Robards, Steve Gutenberg, John Lithgow - 1983
contravercial ABC made for TV movie, which depicted the lead up to and aftermath of a nuclear war between the United States and the Soviet Union.
what's bad about it: most of the acting. this was a made for tv movie, and it shows. after-school special level of acting and dialogue.
the music score is attrocious: think Waltons/Little House on the Prarie fusion.
in some ways, the movie was very unrealistic. well only in one way that really stands out - being the number and location of survivors. okay, the movie is set in and around Kansas City, Mo and Lawrence, Kansas. the significance being that the movie is set in areas that are in and around Whitman Air Force Base, one of five Minute Man missile fields (missile silos spread all over the middle of Missouri). so very few, if any of those people would have survived. we're talking blast damage to most of the area. so they might want to diversify their settings.
what's good about it: the lead up to the conflict was very realistic, and very true to the nature of the cold war at the time in question.
in todays world where we are in fear of terrorism and threats to our security by small nations, this would bring some perspective on where we are now vs. then.
it is set in the 80's, which seems like the new 60's as far as time peices go.
if done properly, i think it could be a powerful film and not just a contravercial but rather crappy tv movie.
If you want a good movie that depicts nuclear war and the after effects, check out the British docudrama 'Threads'. I have to say that is truly the most horrifying film I have ever seen. Makes 'The Day After' seem like a Disney flick!!!!
I've heard rumors that their going to remake Grease with an all-black cast. I'm hoping they don't because that is one of my all-time movies and I just know they will ruin it if they try to remake it.
Anyone here old enough to remember Nick and Nora and their dog Asta? It was a great who dunnit team with a sense of humor.
Cary Grant 1957: An Affair To Remember. To remake this classic it will take actors with extrordinary carriage, class and grace who have an intense chemistry. I don't think it can be done.
Did William Powell, Myrna Loy, Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr outrun any explosions in their pictures?
They should remake White Heat but instead of James Cagney being killed in the explosion he outruns it.
