What are some movies they cannot possibly remake

[Hardrada]

and ruin?


I would think Ben Hur or GWTW or Wizard of Oz (well maybe Ben Hur doesn't belong in that list but I don't think they could possibly manage a better chariot race.

1. Casablanca. I'd support an Amendment banning desecration of THAT.

[Lilyhoney]

2. It's A Wonderful Life n/t

[WCGreen]

19. It's been done a hundred times with just a litte

variation.....

[BOSSHOG]

3. Paper Moon, Cool Hand Luke, A Few Good Men,

The Jerk, A League of their Own. Hopefully no one will get the happy ass idea of remaking those classics.

[Wickerman]

4. Citizen Kane

Way too much in the film to even attempt duplication and no one could hold a candle to Orson's character.

[MrSandman]

5. Dr. Strangelove...

Remember what Klooney did to Failsafe?

[madaboutharry]

6. They could never remake anything that starred

Tracy and Hepburn.

[mwdem]

7. Herbie

oh, wait...

[In_The_Wind]

8. 2001

[Zomby Woof]

9. They DID remake The Wizard of Oz

"The Wiz", in 1979.

[Hardrada]

17. Right you are!

I just never saw it to ascertain its merits for some reason.

[WCGreen]

20. And that's what it was Wiz.....

[elshiva]

10. I wish they did not have to remake War of the Worlds.

[bliss_eternal]

11. Personally, I believed Willy Wonka was sacred

and COULD NOT be remade, or SHOULD NOT be remade.

I won't be seeing the new one despite my usual admiration for J. Depp's work.

12. Paths of Glory

Distribution was suppressed by the Pentagon the first time around. These days they wouldn't even be able to get the financing together to film it.
And you can add Johnny Got His Gun as well.

[WhollyHeretic]

13. The Graduate

[AlCzervik]

14. To kill a mockingbird, All about Eve, The Machurian Candidate-woops

[Floogeldy]

15. I'm gonna say "Gladiator"

I cannot imagine how it can be improved.

B-)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

23. But I thought there was a "Gladiator Boys" I-X. Oh ..... that's

something else ..... I didn't mean to confuse the two .........

[specimenfred1984]

16. The Exorcist 1

The feeling of horror from scene to scene, Bladdy's camera work, the language, getting a kid to do all those nasty scenes, I can't see anyone pulling that off again.

[XemaSab]

18. Apocalypse Now

the horror... the horror

[hfojvt]

21. SNL said JLo and Affleck were gonna remake "Casablanca"

said Tina Fey "This would be popular with people who like the original, but wished it could be really bad."

"Married with Children" did a spoof of "It's a Wonderful Life" with Sam Kineson as the angel showing what the world would be like if Al had never been born. I thought it was pretty funny.

[MrScorpio]

22. Apocalypse Now

Full Metal Jacket

[Borgnine]

24. Ghostbusters.

The most flawless movie of all time, in my opinion.
