i know alot people hate the 80s movies but for those who don't, what movie would you like to see remade and be just as successful as before. my choice would be the breakfast club.... so let the flamming begin
1980s?
so let the flamming begin
What is flamming and what does it do?
I want to see Troll remade into an instant classic.

Flash Gordon would be my obvious choice, but only if most of the originals were there.

Loved that show Sci-fi. I will forever remember when they were downing the little mice like cocktail wieners.

I think, to qualify for a remake, a film ought to have something about the time in which it was made that now qualifies as a significant shortcoming. For example, the original King Kong may have been fabulous and all, but it involves a great many special effects, and there have been tremendous strides in that area over the last couple decades. So, it was a good candidate to be remade.
Most of the best candidates, I expect, would be effects-laden films of old. At first, it seems like political thrillers examining issues that are no longer issues would qualify, but any good political thriller has its politics woven into the story, to the point where a remake with a different issue would be a remake in name only.
I wouldn't want to see The Breakfast Club remade. Some movies aren't supposed to be timeless, but rather, show us what it was like at a certain time, which means that remaking them for a new generation would defeat the entire point.

I'd also like to see someone remake Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, but not as a musical. If they did a film about what really happened, it was much funnier than the musical play the film was taken from. But if you must make it into a musical, this time do it with singers and dancers, not Burt Reynolds and Dom de Luise (whatever).
I'd like to see a remake of Mississippi Burning based on the hard truth instead of the FBI's wet-dream fantasy.
I'd like a makeover of Glory, only from the black soldiers' point of view this time instead of the white officers.
I'd like to see Full Metal Jacket done by anyone but Stanley Kubrick; I suspect there's a good story in there somewhere.
Eddie and the Crusiers probably would be more interesting if remade by someone who has at least a nodding acquaintance with music, especially the early Rockabilly sound.
And some 20 years later I think it's time for a remake of Farris Bueller's Day Off, but this time from the viewpoint of the former teens of 20 years ago who have since grown up to be the teachers and parents so abused and dismissed by the original film. Sort of a Farris Bueller's Mom and Dad Spoil His Day Off and the Principal Puts Him in Detention.

Yeah, do a Full Metal Jacket analysis. I want to see what problems could you possibly have with the story and the director.

(remaking Empire Strikes back in my life-time better mean I get to project it into my actual mind to live it otherwise DON'T TOUCH IT! It was PERFECT for it's time...err...for it's timeS!)
Bringing me to my next point...

You didn't just diss Eddie & the Cruisers... one of the best rock & roll movies ever made...
You really really didn't ...
I know this cause your probing by mechanoids sent by my people would be severe indeed.
