What 80's movie would you remake?

[Juan]

I would say either Splash or Ghostbusters, maybe even Back to the Future.

[U-Warrior]

Krull

Come on, how is this even a question?

[Blitz]

I would say Big Trouble In Little China. Kinda a love/hate thing with the idea, because honestly can't imagine it with any other cast, but an update with modern day special effects and someone awesome handling the directing/fight choreography, could be cool.

Also The Warriors. Yeah, it was made in 1979, but I'm including it. A proper remake, not that Tony Scott "Real Gangs" BS that's been floating around for a bit.

[Shadow]

The Last Starfighter.

[Downunder]

Krull

Come on, how is this even a question?

Great movie.

[weather vane]

The Breakfast Club

[FakeLaser]

Harry and the Hendersons

[D Mac]

Evil Dead

[Danny Electric]

Inner Space
Batteries Not Included
Flight of the Navigator

[Loose Cannon]

The Wizard and Fred Savage must make an appearance

[BigDaddyCool]

The Last Starfighter.

My brother is an aspiring writer, and one of our friends is going to film school, and they are collabrating on a Last Starfrighter project. I can guarenette it will suck.

[BigDaddyCool]

IGhostbusters, maybe even Back to the Future.

The Breakfast Club

Evil Dead


Flight of the Navigator

The Wizard and Fred Savage must make an appearance

These movies where all prefect, there is no need to remake any of them...plus Evil Dead 2 is basically a remake of Evil Dead.

[Xero]

None.

If they sucked before, they'd suck now. If they were great before, they'd suck now.

[road doggy dogg]

Harry and the Hendersons

lol they made a movie about this?
crossrine

[NoRoolz]

Dunno about a remake but I'd love to see another Stand By Me/Goonie-esque film.

[Loose Cannon]

[Kris P Lettus]

[ManayZ]

Nice, I thought I heard something about a Prequel/Remake before, not sure if that's the same thing.

Hopefully they don't screw it up and make it corny like that Freddy vs Jason shit...

[Danny Electric]

original is too good to be ruined

[FakeLaser]

It was a movie before it was a TV Show

[Mr Regal]

[Champion of Europa]

Real Genius.

Unless I am still working at the movie theater I work at now(Since I get free passes to see movies) I'm probably not gonna bother seeing this. I don't know why but just the fact that Robert Englund will probably not be playing Freddy, makes me kinda think this movie will bomb.

[Stickman]

Nothing, I'm tired of remakes. Do people lack imagination nowadays to come up with something new?

[Nowhere Man]

Pretty much.

Yeah I feel the same way about Wes Craven not being involved. Micheal Bay is the one working on this though, and I liked his remake of TCM, so maybe it could turn out to be good.

[road doggy dogg]

lol did not know that, was mad young when it was out
crossrine

[RP]

none

[The Genius]

A-team wasnt a movie but if done right it could be a decent movie.

[Jeritron]

No way Ghostbusters or Back to the Future. That's blasphemy.

I dunno what my answer is though. Prob something that could have been better, or was limited by the abilities of the time.

[94 SVT Cobra]

...^Close encounters....was that the 80s?

[Kris P Lettus]

9 times outta 10, it's about new special effects and whatnot..

Where's your groundbreaking screenplay??

[ct2k]

A remake of BTTF?

F*ck you chico. seriously that'd be horrific, and the original is so wonderful as it is, it being made and set in the 80's is like its crowning glory, HUEY LEWIS

[thedamndest]

To paraphrase ct2k: "Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Think McFly! Think!"

[DrA]

Is the world ready for a remake of Ordinary People?
