Films That Should Be Remade

Judicia​l Joe

I think most everyone here would agree that remakes tend to be worse than the originals. However, some films have great premises that aren’t fine-tuned into great movies. A good example is the Coen Brothers’ TRUE GRIT.

What are your films that you’d like to see remade into richer versions of the original? Mine would be Cronenberg’s SCANNERS.

No film SHOULD be re-made.

It’s sometimes nice to see a completely different take on a film (e.g. A Fistful of Dollars as a remake of Yojimbo) but even then, it’s not an original idea – and a filmmaker with an original idea is a better filmmaker in my eyes.
