I'm of the mind that the only old movies that should be remade are the bad ones. Like the bad ones that at least had potential concept/premise wise.
Don't remake classics thinking you're about to recreate the success or make something anywhere near equal. I wish more directors would challenge themselves that way.
Like I just heard after bringing up Pratt as Indy that they're remaking the Magnificent 7 with Pratt and Denzel Washington. The mere fact they're even remaking that movie made me scoff despite me liking both actors and the director, A. Fuqua but it's w/e at this point Hollywood won't stop.
The **** is wrong with you Ska? You trying to make Hollywood ruin my childhood.
They've already remade 12 Angry Men though. I think twice. Unless you're just saying you want to see a modern version. Nothing beats the classic with my boy Fonda
I think even you know they'd ruin a Gremlins remake.
Princess Bride (just watched this again a few days ago) and Ferris Bueller are untouchable.
You buggin b.
Cosign. Basically said what I said.
Ocean's is a success but honestly I'm not sure that 3rd installment should've happened.
I wouldn't mind Scarface done right. Pacino got it right with Tony but everything else about that movie could've been done better.

Completely agree on the magnificent 7, the first one is a great western.. If I remember correctly there was a sequel that wasn't good.. And I think they already had a crappy remake
I don't think either ocean's sequel was necessary.. But those are the 2 examples that came to my head first of remakes that worked
I remember reading or hearing somewhere the dumb idea that they were going to try to remake the wild bunch or the dirty dozen.. Remaking either should be a crime

I think the old Cannonball Run movies could be successfully updated, with the right people attached.

Saw Kingsman last night, thought it was done really well, I definitely recommend seeing it when it comes out.

Thought the Magnificent 7 was based of the Seven Samurai? So they are making a remake of a remake?

Kingsman looks like a lot of fun...
I liked how the Japanese remake of Unforgiven (Yurusarezaru mono) was done flipping the script though making it a samurai movie instead. Kinda carried on the tradition of exchange between Japanese samurai films & American westerns a la Kurosawa & Sergio Leone.
The Japanese remake was solid but it missed some great lines, ones that only Eastwood could deliver like, "I've killed women and children. I've killed everything that walks or crawls at one time or another. And I'm here to kill you."

No, movies. I think there is a full trilogy, but I've only seen these two so far.

Apparently, there's something in the works. According to IMDB, Guy Ritchie is attached to direct a Cannonball Run remake to be set in Europe. No information beyond that. But based on that alone, there's potential there.
Edit - after doing some Googles, it appears that the Cannonball remake was initially conceived as starring Clooney and Pitt. If that's how it ends up, I wouldn't be that excited since it would probably just seem like the Oceans movies on wheels. But nothing's happened with production of the flick for like two years, so who knows.

Without Hitchcock I don't know. Rope was real cerebral, suspenseful and all those things Hitchcock does great with a plot like that. Not doubting there isn't someone couldn't do it but as a feature film I'm not sure anybody is taking the chance unless they really change up the film or go hard in modernizing it.
It would be cool to see that remade or a movie similar to it.
