Not necessarily a matter of it being today's technology that would make it a hit (although it certainly would help), but a matter of having today's editing and sense of pacing:
Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Y'know, the slow boring one that nobody likes because it's slow and boring.
It actually had some pretty cool concepts, with what I thought was an interesting antagonist, and had a good sub-plot of tubby old Kirk getting constantly outclassed by the newer and more competent young captain. But oh my God, it goes by at a snail's pace, to the point where it's nearly unwatchable.
If you had the same pacing and the same directorial flair of the JJ Abrams remake (y'know, tone down the lens flare a bit), you could've had a really genuinely cool movie that I think would've been a big hit.
