Oh another good remake candidate, Argento's Inferno. Suspiria's untouchable but Inferno desperately needed a stronger through-line. I'd keep all the Three Mothers stuff since that's sort of an interesting idea that wasn't explored well. Also the giant skeleton thing at the end, and the Keith Emerson theme.

Yo I got a food-for-thought question for y'all. If you could remake one movie which one and why?

And to be clear, this is you remaking it. Not like "I want John Carpenter to do Jurassic Park" or whatnot.

Someone beat me to "Metropolis but actually socialist" and now I'm kind of spinning my wheels and repeatedly cycling back to stuff I'd like to adapt, which isn't the same as a remake.

I'd probably take some 50's horror movie about science gone too far and the hubris of man and recast the madman as the hero.

As far as adaptations go I really want to make a film version of The Supermale by Alfred Jarry. Very few people have tried to put any of his stuff to film.

A remake of Birth of a Nation with an all Black cast. White characters are portrayed by Black actors in whiteface. Silas Lynch is the protagonist and in the end he slaughters the klan and founds a Black empire from the ruins of the South.

Didn't Argento become seriously ill during production so Mario Bava had to basically take over for him?

Like a television
tuned to a dead channel.
Just read Armond White's review of The Force Awakens.
"Love of Star Wars is not love of cinema, just consumerist habit. The Star Wars Generation — that unfortunate rabble primed to see these films at the precise moment they were becoming culturally responsive — are not necessarily the audience the movie brats deserved; they’re spawn of Baby Boomer affluence and narcissism. Star Wars turned their natural curiosity and wonder into self-satisfaction, artificially dependent on media and merchandising (a tragedy also evident in Apple and Pixar evangelism)."

Dang.

A while ago, someone asked which films from the They Shoot Zombies list were available on Youtube. I was curious myself, so I did a little digging. Here are all the films from the top 100 which I could find, with their respective ranking shown in brackets.

Texas Chainsaw Massacre (4): This one has hardcoded Spanish subtitles.
Night of the Living Dead (9)
Suspiria (11)
Nosferatu - Eine Symphonie des Grauens (16): There are a million versions of the film on Youtube, but I'm partial to this one.
The Omen (23)
Hellraiser (38)
The Innocents (40): Another one with hardcoded Spanish subs.
Braindead (41)
Re-Animator (43)
Ringu (45)
Les Yeux sans visage (48)
Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari (49)
Repulsion (50): Hardcoded Spanish subs.
Black Christmas (54)
The Sixth Sense (57)
The Mist (63)
El espinazo del diablo (70)
Carnival of Souls (78)
Ginger Snaps (84)
Phantasm (86)
Vampyr (91)
Zombi 2 (92)

Not all of these are in pristine quality, but that's still a surprising number of great films. I also thought that Paramount itself had uploaded Jacob's Ladder last year, but I couldn't find it.

Franchise only though. The original is a masterpiece.

Honestly, how many good horror sequels are there really? Especially in comparison to how many horror sequels there are. Basically there's Halloween II and III, The Evil Dead sequels, a couple of the Nightmare on Elm Streets, and Creepshow II.

Jimmy Fallon sucked before he jerked off Donald Trump on tv. He's completely devoid of any comedic timing or sensibility and he's a total charisma void. It's baffling to me that he's not only popular but is allowed to host anything at all.
