What older movie would you like to see remade?

Logan's Run from the 70's! AWESOME movie. Even the original still seems fairly "futuristic.

I have always loved the movie, "Harvey". It's a Oscar winning film released in 1950 and starred James Stewart as Elwood P. Dodd, an odd, but very nice man who lives with his sister, and has an imaginary 6'3" white rabbit (Harvey) as his best friend.

Harvey is a pooka which is explained in the film as a "Celtic mythology, a miscihevous spirit that takes animal form and appears sometimes to some people for the purpose of doing this and that. " Elwood and Harvey often go to a bar named, "Charley's". Since the movie was originally made in 1950, there are a number of terms used that are no longer part of mainstream American English use.

But it's very funny and sweet. (Every once in a while you need that).

I don't see any point in remaking good movies because the remake will always be worse. It makes more sense to remake a not-so-good movie with a hope it will come out good. I would like to see Who Framed Roger Rabbit remade by someone other than Disney.

They took a really good, original, and funny book (Who Censored Roger Rabbit? By Gary K. Wolf) and bought the rights.

They then took the book out of print so no more people could read it. It's a collector's item.(Now however it's available for Kindle because of the new copyright debate. ) Then they "Disnified" the story into a bland, kiddie level story.

I'd like to see the movie of the original book, a tough guy 1930's detective in the strange Human and Toon world with real crime and sex and all.

One of the best "old" movies (even before the 70s and 80s) that I am surprised has not been remade already is Roman Holiday. I am not sure that I want to see it remade--it is the first movie I remember seeing with my parents (I saw it in 1980 or so, and it originally came out in 1953). But, if well done, this could have some potential.

Better, anyway, than making an A-Team movie or remaking The Karate Kid. The story, if you don't know it, is of a princess (Audrey Hepburn) of an unnamed country who is on state business in Rome. She runs away from her entourage and from her princessy responsibilities.An American journalist based in Rome (Gregory Peck) finds her by accident and hides her in his apartment, knowing full well who she was.

They have a charming couple of days in Rome, seeing famous sites, and then (SPOILER WARNING) she goes back to being a princess. They don't end up together.In famous final scene, the princess gives a press conference. He shows up with the rest of the press corps, and her hello to him is no different than it is for the rest of the press.

He leaves the conference, with his footsteps echoing, alone.It isn't the fastest or flashiest movie, especially as it was made in 1953. But the performances are fresh and candid. The scene below, in the YouTube video I've posted, was largely ad-libbed; Hepburn's reaction to Peck's little joke is real.

You don't need much cast for this movie--just the two leads, really. In Gregory Peck's place, I would cast Robert Downey, Jr. He might inject more humor/snark into the role (Gregory Peck was nothing if completely sincere), but he can do go from jaded-to-charmed spectrum of emotions. He was already a journalist in two movies, The Soloist and Zodiac.

For the princess, you might for novelty's sake cast a real princess (say one of the royal families of Spain or Jordan). Otherwise, I would cast someone non-American with the freshness and charm and girlishness of a young Audrey Hepburn. If I could cast anyone, it would have been a younger Penelope Cruz or Paz Vega.

But now they are in their 30s, and they might both be too old for the role of "ingenue princess" and too . . .

Sexy.An alternative, though not Latin and not as "foreign" seeming to English-speaking audiences would be Emma Watson (Hermione from Harry Potter), who would be closer to the right age but may lack the sort of innocence and playfulness--we're used to her being know-it-all Hermione.

I think a good candidate for a remake would be Top Gun, simply because it didn't suspend my disbelief, and it would be a solid start for a fresh face.

I am not a fan of remakes at all.. but the way I feel is they need to take movies that were not hits originally and remake them into record smashing hits!

I think it is time to do Johnny Mnemonic. This was a very fun movie, but slightly held back by special effects limitations.

Metropolis by Fritz Lang Fritz was a genius who's vision was far beyond the technology that moviemaking had to offer him at the time. The messages in this film are also timeless and always relevant. This movie has vast potential for an interesting remake.

Despite it's age it is still an amazing film.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
