i say heat, and the wizard of oz. two masterpieces that should definitely never be touched, imo.
Great films you just can't re-make
No film should be remade, in my personal opinion, unless it is done so under the supervision of the original film makers and is done so to improve upon what has already been provided, not to simply capitalize on it. In particular, if a movie is credited as being a classic or a masterpiece I don't think a studio should even attempt to remake it (The Crow is one of these). This doesn't mean I don't enjoy some remake, in the past I have enjoyed:
-Dawn of the Dead (2004)
-The Thing (1982)
-Little Shop of Horror (1986)
-A Fistful of Dollars (1964)
-The Fly (1986)

Having just watched Oldboy, I'm going to have to go with that, even though I know a remake is in the works. More importantly, if anyone has a clue as to why Hollywood has this persistent need to remake films, I would love to know.
