Endless Love (more in line with the book)
Flowers in the Attic (if you're going to make a movie about gothic mansions and incest, you need to go all out)
re: Which films do you think should be remade?#2
Posted: 10/22/08 at 5:49pmNone of the classics

A Chorus Line definitely as the version made definitely did not cut it
Ditto for Jesus Christ Superstar
Same for A Funny Thing.....

Kozijat Rog (The Goat Horn)
It is a classic and has already been remade, but the story is so powerful and like a Shakespearean classic, so easy to reinterpret in many ways. Both films were really directed toward the Bulgarian audience. I'd like to see or direct a version for the international audience, but please, not a Hollywood production.

There must be a wealth more awesome samurai films that could do with westernising. My contemporaries like to kvetch about Americans remaking Japanese films. I say that if that practice gives us stuff like 'The Seven Samurai' and 'A Fistful of Dollars', then let America remake the entirety of Japan!
Mmmmm, awesome westerns... :3

In about twenty years, they should remake the Harry Potter films.
They were making the films before the full series was out, so they'd devote a lot of time onscreen to something that ended up not mattering at all to the series, or they'd cut something of critical importance and have to reshape the whole plot of future films around that. I wish they'd waited until the whole series was out before they started making movies.

Musicals (ones that could be vastly improved on film):
A Chorus Line
The Wiz
Man of La Mancha
Brigadoon
Guys and Dolls
Carousel
A Little Night Music
Non-musicals (not necessarily because they were rotten the first time, but because they could be given a newer, stronger approach):
Agnes of God
The Beast With Five Fingers
Band of Angels
You Can't Take It With You
The Great Gatsby
The Children's Hour
The People (TV movie)
Blithe Spirit
'Night Mother
A Doll's House
Three Sisters
Musicals and plays that I think should be made first, before any of these remakes:
Fences
Sunday in the Park With George
Big River
Ragtime
Precious Sons
Into the Woods
Once On This Island
Jelly's Last Jam
Kiss of the Spider Woman
The Most Happy Fella

The Harry Potter series.
I kid.
re: Which films do you think should be remade?#12
Posted: 10/22/08 at 7:03pmPut me on the Once on this Island and Into the Woods wagon! But i don't know if this was a movie in the past, but I want a Separate Peace to be remade. Wait, now that I think of it, Wasn't there a showtime/HBO movie in the past decade?

JCS was such a disappointment.
And I'd say A Chorus Line but I really just think if they got rid of those goddamn greasy perms, recast Diana and got a better camera it'd satisfy me.

Posted: 10/22/08 at 8:20pmI agree with A Chorus Line. RENT should be re-made and Spike Lee should direct.

Posted: 10/22/08 at 9:17pmI was going to say ReNt, too, but I was thinking of movies that weren't as recent (and whose wounds weren't as fresh).

Posted: 10/22/08 at 9:25pmGYPSY. Both film versions messed it up.

Posted: 10/22/08 at 10:34pmI find the original film version of Gypsy, pretty perfect.
