1 Let me go find it but there's a direct to dvd release coming up that Lovecraftian that looks pretty good.  It's about some kids flying in like a Piper Cub and they run into some Old Ones and get nommed.

2 Ha! Found it, Altitude.

3 I don't know if it counts, but I really like the 1982 remake of The Razor's Edge.  It's very different from the older version, but I think it's a better movie, even if it's less faithful to the book.

Some movies that should be remade:
Congo
All the Highlander movies
Star Wars Prequels

4 I almost posted that Altitude trailer the other day. But it looks sooooo stupid.

The original "Call of Cthuhlu." could easily be done with today's CGI and a competent and inspired art director, which I admit is a rarity these days.

5 I'd like to see another attempt at Hitchhikers myself.  My god was the movie version atrocious.

6 They keep trying with monster movies like Godzilla and all the King Kong remakes, but they screw it up every time.

How about a remake of Ishtar?
I probably wouldn't go see it, but the concept is pretty darn funny.

7 Apparently they're remaking Red Sonja with Rose McGowan.

8 Here's another remake, just to show they can fuck it up three times in a row.

9 Rose McGowan found another director to bang for a role?  I figured she'd be down to random guys shooting home movies at this point.

10 I thought of Dune, but that's pretty darn hard.

I'd love to see Ringworld. They could do that and do it well. There's not a lot of subtext.
If they can do the fish dude in Hellboy, they can do Nessus, Speaker, ghouls, city builders and all the rest.
And if they make money on it there is at least one sequel that's pretty good.
After that, ummmm, well.. They didn't suck.
I think.

Interview With A Vampire?

Queen of the Damned?

Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil?

12 Gone With the Wind.  I never really liked the original (sorry, C-Belle, if you're still paying attention to this blog) but just thinking of doing a remake would display a gigantic set of brass fucking balls. It would also be hilarious, if for no reason other than it would drive a metaphorical stake right through Roger Ebert's heart. Megan Fox as Scarlett O'Hara, anyone?

(In the same vein, a shot-for-shot remake of Citizen Kane starring and directed by Ben Afflek would be priceless.)

13 I always thought that I would use my lottery winnings to make a movie out of Shirley Jackson's story "We Have Always Lived In The Castle". I'm thinking Summer Glau and Parker Posey in the lead roles.

14

Ringworld.

Word!

15 Ummmm, I kinda like the B/W b-movie version of Call of Cthulhu that was made a while back.  It was low-tech and low-budget but it had a great feel to it...

16 Okay, I'll be the first to admit I'm lame, but I'd like to see "Ella Enchanted" without the politics. (I'm a big fan of the book. Well written and engaging to me) Also, Eragon. Again, nothing from the book but the characters. They didn't follow the story line at all, and guaranteed themselves only one movie, when there are four books by changing some key plot points.
(Sorry. Can you tell I have kids?)

Don't give Lucas any ideas of redoing the Sar Wars movies...he tinkers with them too much after they are released as it is...

And it's not like he is going to remove Jarjar Binks from the movies either...

I don't have any good ideas on what movies to remake, but I was furious - FUCKING FURIOUS - when I watched that piece of shit remake of 3:10 to Yuma a few years back. 

Anyone see the original?  It was about a modest, quiet, yet intensly brave man who was willing to risk his life to do the right thing, and nearly gave it in doing so.  The villian was a bad, bad man with no redeemable qualities who you wanted the main character to just shoot throughout the entire movie, but he never did - because he was a good man, who wanted to do the right thing, even if he died doing it.

Anyone see the remake?  It was about a whiny, disabled veteran who's wife and kid hated him and constantly disrespected because he was totally detestable, who took the job taking the bad guy in to earn some money (he was unemployed, you see) and to try and gain the respect of his kid.  The bad guy is portrayed as a good man who has made bad choices in his life who you actually end up rooting for at the end.  Instead of triumphing at the end, the "good guy" gets shot (sorry, spoiler alert) and the bad guy gets away, and my suspicion is that the writers actually wanted to audience to be glad of it. 

More moral-equivalency bullshit, where good is bad and bad is good (oh, yeah, and the Iraq war is bad, too, I didn't miss the whole "disabled veteran" thing they threw in there.) 

I'm just about ready for hollywood to run out of fucking film.
