I've always been a fan of the first Mad Max movie. I really wish they would re-do it! Whats on your list of movies you'd like seen re-made?

    It Happens Every Spring. It's a really old movie about baseball. A scientist invents a product that when applied to wood repels objects --like baseballs. I saw it when I was little. It gets played on TBS sometimes. Really funny.

    I thought they were already doing this? Or is it just a sequel? With Tom Hardy I think?
    I'm a snob, I am not a big fan of remakes. Maybe Logan's Run and this time they will actually read the book.

    Agreed.

    I so agree. Redone some of my fav movies and now I can't watch the original anymore. Will have to stop seeing remakes.....

    There is a new one coming out.

    I don't really see remakes as taking away from the original.

    well let me see if I can think of any remakes that were good as the original? what about all the takes on "christmas carol" theme. I like those usually.

    I'd like to see "The Legend of Billy Jean" redone. (Or at least to be allowed on DVD)

    They're not redoing the old movie, they're creating a prequel... which is a shame, as there were 14+ books in the series, so they could have easily just made a film of one of the books.

    Not very much... They are classics for a reason. There are very few that come close to the original

    There are more reasons not to make remakes...

    Oh no doubt! He made a great "Arthur." (He plays a good drunk in general) But not Rhett. He doesn't have the class to play Rhett Butler. I think I could go with someone like Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan, Liam Neeson, or maybe even George Clooney. Only someone with debonair could pull it off.

    They did "The Wiz" with Michael Jackson back in the 70's, It was awful.

    Oh and don't forget the 80's version of Return to Oz!

    Even though I agree with not touching old movies, I'd like to see a re-make of Mary Poppins. The magical nanny would kick *kitten* this time around and the penguins would look less animated and more CGI!

    By the way, they definitely ARE doing a remake of Mad Max. There's an Australian model by the name of Megan Gale who will be a character in the remake.
  • Pet Semetary!!! I've always loved the movie, but the audio is HORRIBLE!

    I'd love to see Dune redone or even better, see them do one of the prequels as a movie!
