12 Movies that We think need to be Remade!

We all complain about the unnecessary sequels, reboots, and remakes out there these days. From THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN to PSYCHO, INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS to TOTAL RECALL, pretty much anything can and will be redone by Hollywood. But, sometimes a movie has such potential and falls short that it actually deserves to be remade. Here are the twelve movies that we feel should get a second chance at the big screen. Some were good to begin with and just need to try a little harder the next time around. Feel free to comment in the talk back with other movies you feel should get a do-over.

MacFarlane's Ted could resuscitate some interest in Flash Gordon. Otherwise, both Flash and Buck could work. Many Gen X parents want to introduce their kids to the same fun that the parents had in the early '80s. They would want another Flash Gordon or Buck Rodgers movie, and they might respect a different approach such as SyFy took with the old Battlestar Gallactica.

The Star Wars prequels should be remade....well made.

And George Lucas should have very little involvement. He DEFINITELY shouldn't write the screenplays.

remakes?!

i feel that movies r worth of remaking only when there is chance of improving(by multifold) the original by the latest advanced CGI ( eg.,LOTR animation to live-action,Titanic) or by more story/character improvement or by advancements in crafts like Set design,stunts,makeup.i dont like cheap remakes that try to cash on nostalgic factor.i would like to see CGI live-action remakes of Hayao miyazaki films,sci-fi cyperpunk manga films like Akira,Ghost in the shell.also would b good to see remakes
