    IMO Hollywood should NEVER remake "Back to the future".

    TBH I'm not fond of remakes at all, give me something original instead.

    Thinking back to the Christmases of my youth, I'd have to say Jason and the Argonauts. 60s animation on 80s RTE 1 :eek:

    They should stop remaking altogether and instead make original fucking films.

    Jaws still holds up really well, no need at all.




    They should only remake films that were **** and try and get them right 2nd time around.

    Jaws was/is class and still very watchable though the shark is a bit to rubbery and TBH you see very little of him during film

    Metropolis
    Dune
    Forbidden Planet
    Bladerunner.
    Not saying the above are bad films but would love to see them re-made with a different directors touch.

    Oh no you didn't, man. No one touches those, ESPECIALLY Metropolis. Metropolis is the most perfect film ever made.

    No-ones' touching my Blade Runner! :mad:

    Although great idea for Forbidden Planet, even though it still holds up.

    Or every one of them done by Zach Snyder. A load of slow mo "zoom in and out" action bits.

    There is recently discovered mathematical formula that guarantees a movie will be better than the original:



    NCM - NC + AE = I



    Where;

    NCM = Nicholas Cage Movie
    NC = Nicholas Cage
    AE = Anyone Else
    I = Improvement

    I'd love to see Lucas go back to the original star wars trilogy and add in some of that cool cgi stuff that he didn't have back then.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Yeah I know but just think of Metropolis as made by Luc Besson.
    ...
    Or by John Woo. :D

    It was bad enough when they remade it as a tv series. Please please please do not inflict a remake of that awful film on us. The story was crap.

    Wouldn't mind seeing a modern Barbarella though as the cgi would improve the effects vastly.
