If you could nominate 5 movies that would be remade. Ignore all things like whether the Original was untouchable. This is just for fun... imagine if the money was there not to mention the authority to make the remake better. So which 5 movies would you nominate? Oh and no movies from the 90's. Anything before that is acceptable.
Here is my list.
01. War of The Worlds: If it happens, give it more of a military angle.
02. The Ten Commandments: To make it different, why not reimagine the story in a future setting or even an off world setting. If not, follow the Original but sprinkle with factual and interesting twists like maybe posing the idea of UFO' worship on Moses' part.
03. He-Man: For all the cartoon fans out there. Frank Langella was cheesey.
04. Poltergeist: All recent spook flicks have failed to awe us. They could either remake or revive this one.
05. The Witches of Eastwick: As much as I love Jack Nicholson's Daryl character this one would be interesting to see with a different setting. Maybe it can take place during the Puritan Days.
I don't know if I can think of 5 right now, but I think Dungeons and dragons could be made much better, not nearly as hammy and with a much better cast, my second wouldn't actually be a re-make but I would have loved Baz Luhrman's Romeo and Juliet if only Leonardo di Caprio wasn't in it, I just can't watch him at all! Other than that, I love old films such as The Court Jester, Hans Christian Andersen and The Slipper and the Rose etc. so it would be cool to see how they would be made again (this would be just for fun, as in these cases I think the originals are untouchable and there will never be another Danny Kaye!) :-)

I'm hoping you're very VERY mistaken there, Kes. Besides, the original "He Man" movie is a friggin' cult classic! To go and ruin that, on top of make the movie when there is absolutely no interest in the character, is cinematic suicide for whoever where to pick that project up.
One that I would like to see remade would be Wonder Woman. One thing that I always hated about it was that an Amazon Princess would NOT wear a brightly colored costume like that. I would like it remade with a more Amazonian feel.
1. Superman (the first movie)
2. It's a wonderful life
3. Star Wars: Episode 1 (any remake has to be less disapointing than this movie)
4. Lord of the Flies
5. Predator
They'll never revisit "Predator", and especially not "Episode 1". That was a lesson learned on Lucas's behalf.
Mark, did you not enjoy any of the Indy trilogy movies? I say that because I found all 3 to be boring personally, and most everyone else bites my head of for saying so.
