I'd like to see "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" remade with todays comics. What movie/s would you like to see remade?

Gone with the Wind starring Reese Witherspoon and George Clooney;) .

Hahahaha! I think that would work! Reese Witherspoon would be a perfect Scarlett O'Hara, and George Clooney would rock as Rhett Butler.

Great choice! Seventh 6 months ago .

Thanks-we should start a production company, lol;) .

Hollywood has been so lame lately we couldn't fail. They should at least be hipped to the movies we'd really like to see made. Seventh 6 months ago .

The King's Speech was good because of the story and the actors. I read that True Grit was better than the original but haven't seen it as yet. Here's a few more that could be better:The Prince of Tides, with Billy Bob Thornton and Hallie Berry might rock?

Gunga Din should be remade with Brad Pitt and Dey Patel as Din (Slum Dog). I watched it with a thirty-ish Cary Grant last night. Wonderful story!

I heard the opposite about True Grit, never saw Prince of Tides but did see the outtakes from Monster's Ball (still sweating from that), and think a new look at Gunga Din could be brilliant! Seventh 6 months ago .

I watched the original Moby Dick with Gregory Peck a month or so ago. I think it would be awesome remake. Just think of what they could do with that movie now with computer generated images.

Many of the classics would look great with modern tech makeovers. The Time Machine, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and The Odyssey (Think 300) Just to name a few. Seventh 6 months ago .

They did remake The Time Machine and I read some where a while ago that they are remaking Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. Com/watch? V=Ry_s2Pk1DHI.

Thank you! I can't imagine how I missed that, but I am thankful that I live in the age of Netflix and On-Demand movies. The trailer looked wonderful.

Have you seen it, and if so do you recommend it? Seventh 6 months ago .

I did see it and liked it better than the original, but thought it could have been done better, but I'm tough on movies. Today I'm going to see Water for Elephants...even though I know I'm going to be disappointed. I loved the book and don't understand putting that whimpy James Pattison playing the part of Jacob.

Seriously 1930 circus people were not whimpy. LOL! .

I don't know who they would have cast instead. It seems like all of todays young actors came from the soap opera group of pretty boys and glam girls who have little movie style presence and zip for rugged looks. We could use a bus load of Ernest Borgnines , Karl Maldens, and Charles Bronsons to work with.

Now Water for Chocolate is completely different. This is told by Jacob when he is in an old age home waiting for someone to take him to the circus. When Jacob is a young boy he becomes orphaned and runs away and joins the circus.

The book is about circus life and a love story and animal cruelity, but I'm sure the movie will mostly focus on the love story.

Tarzan of the Apes with Michael Phelps as Tarzan.

He's certainly got the right look. Seventh 6 months ago jpg.

He certainly has the look. I'd pay to see that remake. Seventh 6 months ago jpg.

Yes. Johnny Weismuller, the original and most famous Tarzan of the talkies era was an Olympic Gold Medalist swimmer, as was Buster Crabbe, who played Tarzan in his early days, but is better known for playing Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon. Two other Olympic Medalists have played Tarzan in the movies, Glenn Morris and Herman Brix, (Brix was cast by Edgar Rice Burroughs) but they were both in track and field.

Disney did the (so far) best version of "20,000 Leagues e.g. , 60,000 miles Under the Sea. " Since then, we've had a zillion iterations of Nemo and his sub, none of them using available technological effects to show that story from ship-ramming and adrift sailors rescued all the way to the whirlpool vortex they barely escape from but are unsure whether Nemo did. We've the film technology now to improve on Disney's excellent (if truncated) version.

Did you know that "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" was the only movie where Buster Keaton and Spencer Tracy shared screen time? And that scene was cut. Go figure.

The old Disney studios had a genius, a magic that transcended the images on the screen. I doubt any of the old Disney films could have been even marginally improved with modern visual effects. One thing I do know about "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is that of the min cast there are only two survivors Jonathan Winters and Mickey Rooney, and what I would like to see more than anything else is for these two winners of the Hollywood tontine to collect the prize for their whole generation and be showered with praise (before they are so old they can only be bathed with sponges).

We owe that generation of comics a great deal and I would be happy to see these two collect. Seventh 6 months ago .

Moonraker ........... good idea .........bad movie! Roger Moore was never a believable Bond .

Roger Moore was wonderful as The Saint, but terrible as Bond, and Moonraker was possibly the worst (most cartoonish) of the Bond movies, except, of course, for The Man with the Golden Gun, another Moore stinker. Seventh 3 months ago .

They did remake The Time Machine and I read some where a while ago that they are remaking Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. *Carla* 55 months ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry_s2Pk1DHI.

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.
