I would like to have them do a remake of " The Ten Commandments " with the special effects and computers they have today they could really do a cool one...
To Kill a Mockingbird, and not because the original wasn't great.

I want a remake of The Monster Squad, The Labyrinth, or The Neverending Story. I think they were all ahead of their time and with the kind of technology out there now I think they could make em bada$$
1. One flew over the cuckoo nest.
2. Silence of the lamb.
An old musical..."Guys & Dolls"
"What A Wonderful Life" It had Jimmy Stewart in it and Donna Reed. It was so good and heart warming. It hit the nail right on the head. We are all important and if we weren't there or here now then something that happened wouldn't have happened and something that's happening now wouldn't happen. Our presence has a purpose in Life.
Remake THE_YEAR_OF_LIVING_DANGEROUSLY and change the locale to Iraq & Baghdad instead of Indonesia - - there are several leading actor/actress pairings who would succeed with some of the kind of charisma that Mel Gibson & Sigourney Weaver brought to that 1982 film.
there is going to be a remake of the day the earth stood still but not with lucas directing it.. i'd like the first terminator to be remade with better acting and better graphics and then something tells me in like a hundred years they'll remake the star wars movies (which would suck)
...in fact, in attempting to work on a screenplay-writing career, I am presently toting around a very excellent first screenplay, which reworks/remakes/re-imagines the classic 1962 sci-fi/horror flick, "The Day of the Triffids"; I truly think that this film literally cries out for contemporary revisitation...and heck, there just ain't enough man-eating plant movies, out there, anyways.....right???
To kill a Mocking Bird can still keep me glued to the screen as many times as I have watched it.But Sentimental Journey was my all time favorite. So that would be my choice.
As a rule,I'm against remakes,but,I have to admit there have been some very good ones(Invasion of The Bodysnatchers,The Thing) and,if they could find the cast,a remake of,:The Women" would be great(especially if they do it in period costume)
None because there are no original ideas anymore and remakes just make writers and the public that much lazier.
How about a CLOCKWORK ORANGE. This was probably the most prophetic piece of fiction that has become our daily reality.
Remakes of the really good old movies like The Day the Earth Stood Still with Michael Rene lose that something special in the remake. Look at the many remakes of Invasion of the Body Snatchers, War of the Worlds, Auntie Mame, Gunfight at the OK Corral, Peter Pan, Psycho etc. Good sci fi and horror films especially get remade and the remakes are usually full of excess violence, sex, and killing. I have a hard time imagining someone else in the parts played by Vincent Price, Bela Lugosi, Peter Lorrie, Lon Chaney.
As with all things there is the exception and in my opinion that exception would have to be Young Frankenstein. It was truly an original and probably one of the very few that achieved the same brilliance as the original Frankenstein.
Scarlet Pimpernel, Frankenstein, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Hunchback of Notre Dame (Live Action of course)
Yeah I'm aware their all classic novels as well-but don't they make the best movies (If done right).
