I would say Memento, but they kinda already did that with 50 First Dates, and Finding Dory, to a certain extent.

GABA ghoul posted:Back to the future. Most of the jokes are about excessive smartphones & social media usage. There is an avocado joke where some grumpy 90s dad asks what that is. Someone complains about Marty's work ethics and him having tattoos. There will be huge a RL social media outrage about Doc Brown being played by a black actor. A nazi incel will do a mass shooting at the cinema premiere, 14 people dead, 8 wounded(3 of which in critical condition). Trump will post on alt-twitter about it Pretty sure Zemeckis was smart enough to put a stipulation in his contract about the BttF trilogy that says absolutely no one can remake the movies in his lifetime, which is good. You know Hollywood is gonna announce a remake before Zemeckis’s fresh corpse reaches room temperature, though. Gonna throw out another Miloš Forman Film, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. Posted about Louise Fletcher in her obit thread that she deserved that Oscar for portraying Nurse Ratched. I know there’s a prequel Netflix show about her and they can have that; just leave the 1975 film alone. Also, An American Werewolf in London. It’s a pioneer in the horror comedy genre, in practical body horror effects and makeup, and is probably the very first horror film I fell in love with as a small child. Barring the Landises shittiness, it’s a perfect film. It created the “Thriller” video and influenced Edgar Wright’s films, who has called it a masterpiece. Shaun of the Dead is easily on the same witty level, and Hot Fuzz even has a slightly altered “I can assure you this is not in the least bit amusing.” line spoken by Angel. Several efforts have been made to remake it, and the project has always fallen apart. Good. Leave it that way. You Are A Werewolf fucked around with this message at 15:12 on Sep 26, 2022 |

Indiana Jones. Raiders of the Lost Ark is about as perfect an action movie as you can fine, Temple of Doom is still pretty fun, and Last Crusade is almost as good as Raiders. Crystal Skull was bad but at least you had Harrison Ford in it, so there was SOMETHING of interest there. A new Indiana Jones would either lean way too much into comedy or way too much into action and make Indy an unstoppable badass. Either way, it'd probably be Chris Pratt in the role.

You Are A Elf posted:*Chris Pratt doing the Jurassic World calming hands gesture to a bunch of nazis, who promptly shoot him* A modern Hollywood action movie would never have a scene as perfect as Indy shooting the sword guy after the fancy sword spinning. Chris Pratt Indy would either toss his gun away and engage in an elaborate sword fight or shoot the guy and then quip something about not bringing a sword to a gun fight.

Call Your Grandma posted:Both Dollar movies could easily be redone. Good stories but a lot of the production values could easily be updated and Clint Eastwood is a garbage man so who gives a poo poo about his legacy. A Fistful of Dollars was already a remake of Yojimbo, and it was remade again in the '90s as Last Man Standing.

The neverending story. So much of the charm is the hokey practical effects and synthy soundtrack. I don’t want to see that modernized.

Surprised Explorers hasn't been remade. The time might have been during the Harry Potter movie era if they were wanting to go with a preteen audience, or early 2010s if they were thinking of aging up the characters a bit into more high school age if they were wanting some of that latter Potter/Twilight/Hunger Games teen audience. Seems like an easy enough concept to mutate for a modern remake/audience though. While the first movie has something of an 80s/90s cable nostalgia, I think it's also mostly been forgotten or overlooked in the last 20 years to the point it'd be pretty much 'new' to a huge audience. There are things that aren't really the focal point of the film that a remake could explore (no pun intended) more. The only way I think it could work would be if Rob Zombie directed it. The smart kid is from a family of former Nazi scientists who once captured an alien and dissected it. The troubled kid is being graphically abused by his meth-dealing father. The dreaming kid having to score drugs off the troubled kid to hit the higher levels of consciousness to have the dreams that reveal the plans for the alien spaceship. God, no, that'd be horrible.

Back in the glory days of Bravo, they used to have a Rik Mayall series that had relatively short 45min-60min movie called "Briefest Encounter" they'd air from time to time that I really liked, but I always felt it was just in need of a rewrite to make some of the story flow better and flesh it out to a longer 90 minute film. However, I know at the same time the content of the story from pretty much start to finish would be extremely difficult to pull off in modern media without it being extremely controversial at almost every single level. A bit of trivia that I sometimes have to tell people is that "Adventures In Babysitting" got a remake about a decade ago, though. If that was your lose it movie, I'm sorry, it's already been rebooted. In any case, I think just about all the cult favorites have been sequeled, rebooted, remade, or reimagined by this point. I'm sure there's hope for a "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" could probably get remade if they haven't done so already.

I actually wouldn't be a huge enemy of this, but do reboots of actually old things. Of "classy" and "artistic" things. Reboot Kramer vs Kramer. Or The Graduate. Citizen Kane could cast Ryan Gosling. Or do The Magnificent Ambersons, but don't "as Orson Welles said, edit it "with a lawnmower". Why are we keeping it English language? Maybe modern CGI would do the robot lady from Metropolis justice? Battleship Potemkin, but you can make the lion statue actually get up and roar. Redo Last Year at Marienbad, but give it a story. Modern audiences haven't heard of The World of Apu, so remake Satyajit Ray's classic as an animated film, and rope in your modern Simpsons fans due to the name alone. And so on and so forth.

Holy poo poo, You just knocked free a forgotten memory of watching Grim Tales with Rik Mayall on Bravo back in the early ‘90s. The man really knew how to host and narrate a story with a childlike glee while still keeping it fun for all ages, and the stop-motion animated bits were always something else  Speaking of Rik Mayall, Hollywood better leave Drop Dead Fred the gently caress alone
