Pretty much no more remakes.

Ishtar.

The Evil Dead - Rami has a hard on for PG-13 horror films, and hearing that he's going to remake this film will be ruin this violent classic.

Predator - I read that they're going to remake this.  WHY???

Westworld

This kind of feeds into Chris's post. As Ishtar is considered to be so bad, why not remake it? Even in some bad films, there are usually some good ideas. The hard part is identifying them and bringing them out. And keeping the authors/producers of the failed 'original' at bay when they sue you for plagarism, of course.

This worked for Ocean's Eleven.  The first movie was pretty c**ppy (at least for someone that didn't grow up with the Rat Pack).  I thought the remake was excellent, though Joe Average Moviegoer probably didn't know it was a remake.

i hope they dont remake audition, if they did I would kill them lol

Evil Dead II wasn't exactly a remake, the only reason they re-did the begining was because they didn't have the rights to use the clips for the first film.

what! there remaking oldboy, god I hate them !!!! I am soooooo sick of these f**king cocksucking no idea move t****rs, they only remake foreign films because they think the mainstream audience are to dumb to read the subtitles lol

I hate to admit it, but I don't really have any problems with them remaking Westworld. I probably won't go see it, but it really doesn't bother me. In a way it was already remade as Jurrassic Park, you have to use your imagination, but there are some simularites, including the original author.

They're remaking Predator?  Where'd this tidbit of info come from?

Donnie says that a remake of Westworld is in the works with Arnold.  Is he leaving politics and going back into the movies?  I thought that for the time being he was out of the game.

Just seen that they are remaking Back to School, which was a classic film with a very funny rodney dangerfield, with cedric the entertainter playing the role that rodney played this is just a sin against hollywood. Cedric can be a little funny in certain roles but I'm not really a fan but come on your ruining a classic with a bad actor.

They are also remaking Porky's.

Well, it is a thread on remakes.  Not saying Porky's is a classic by a long shot (though I watched it recently and it still holds up quite well for what it was.)
