There was an episide from the '80s tv series that has stuck with me all these years. Maybe i should put it in spoiler quotes.
Spoiler
It was the one where a woman found a necklace while digging in the garden. Later she was wearing the necklace while her husband and kids were being loud, and she said shut up and time just froze. She was the only one who could still move around. Later a nuclear bomb was heading to the US, and right before it hit the city she froze time. She went out to look around, and she saw the bomb frozen just when it was about to explode.
That really affected me at the time. I was a teenager during the Cold War. People were worried about nuclear war with Russia. It was a really good story. I'd like to see another Twighlight Zone movie where they have three or four segments with different elisodes from the show that includes some from the '80s reboot.
Can you possibly post a link to this episode? I searched for Twilight Zone and Arthur C. Clark but didn't have any luck finding "All the Time in the World".
I would love to see a remake done of The Saracen Blade. I love the book by Frank Yerby but the original movie was made at a time before special effects and CGI could give this story real life.
I think another film waiting to be remade is Todd MacFarlane's Spawn. There was a really underrated 1997 film starring Michael Jae White, but I think it could really look better with a modern take on the hero. The cgi was decent at the time but looks silly on comparison to today's graphics.

This book, a collection of stories such Clarke's, Keith Laumer's "The Last Command", "Puppet Show" by, I believe, Fredric Brown and "Clutch of Morpheus" by Larry Sterling, among others, was given to me as a child. https://img0.etsystatic.com/000/0/59....326824822.jpg

Penny is a very harried housewife with a dim-witted and hapless husband, Russell, and four children: Janet and Susan, who are always fighting; Gertie, who is very clumsy; and Russell Jr., who is always playing pranks. A typical morning consists of Penny being awakened by her excessively loud clock radio, cooking breakfast while Janet and Susan fight and interrupt her, Russell Jr. playing a prank, Gertie spilling something, Russell complaining about something, the phone ringing, the dog barking, and the washing machine acting up.
One day, Penny works in her garden while her neighbor loudly removes tree limbs with a chainsaw. As she digs, she discovers a wooden box containing a beautiful gold pendant in the shape of a sundial. Not thinking anything of it, she takes it inside and puts it on.
At the grocery store, Penny is harassed by the whining Gertie and Russell Jr. and by annoying customers. While driving home as Janet and Susan loudly fight, she seems to be on the verge of a total nervous breakdown. While she tries to cook dinner, her children begin to pester her again and her husband comes downstairs complaining about a rip in his shirt. As the noise level becomes too much, she yells at them to shut up - and they freeze in time. She is confused at first, but soon realizes that the pendant is an amulet that can stop time. She tells her family to start talking and time restarts. She is happy as she realizes that she will finally have a little peace and quiet. "Shut up" is the phrase to stop time and "start talking" restarts time. However, the power will only work if Penny is wearing the amulet.
