I partially assembled a trampoline yesterday. It’s springless and uses steel tension rods called “leaf springs.” While bending one of the leafs to attach to the mat, it slipped and struck me right in the balls. I was on the ground for a solid 10 minutes and once I got up, decided to call it a day and hit the shower. Normally, I’d take care of business in the shower, but because of my mashed nuts, I instead used this time to think about cinema and specifically movies that haven’t been remade.

So, Little Shop of Horrors.. pretty crazy there isn’t a remake.

[Nymphae]

The Ten Commandments
Short Circuit
CGI Gremlins

 

[Nymphae]

One that I hope they never touch is Who Framed Roger Rabbit, because it would be CGI nonsense and not feel as special as the mixture of 2D and live action.

 

[Azzurri]

Jaws or ET

 

[EverythingsOverrated]

The Ten Commandments
Short Circuit
CGI Gremlins

I came here to say Gremlins

I'm genuinely shocked they haven't made a modern shitty cgi heavy gremlins starring chris pratt and kevin hart

 

[sol_bad]

People might hate me for saying this but I loved Stargate when I was younger but having watched it recently I found it quite boring.
I'd love to see what they could do with a new movie, because of the TV show it doesn't even need to be a reboot/remake, they could just carry on with a new story with the same concept.

Highlander. Badass premise but handcuffed by 80s cheese.

Return to Oz

Jason Bourne trilogy (I guess the new Bond stole his niche)

I think Jaws is the most obvious franchise that has not been rebooted.

I am glad that is the case. But get a talented director, create a new Jaws film, it would kill.

 

[DiscoJer]

Little Shop of Horrors already had a remake (the 80s one). The original was a 60s Roger Corman movie.

And The Blob was also remade in the 1980s. One of my favorite remakes.

The Goonies but with all the kids from Stranger Things

A ‘Goonies’ remake is coming to Fox ... sort of

The series will not be a sequel or directly tied to the 1985 film

www.deseret.com

Not really at the moment but iam sure it will come sooner or later

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Highlander. Badass premise but handcuffed by 80s cheese.

No way.

It's exactly awesome because of the cheese.

These days this movie would be much too streamlined.
Also, the sex scene in that movie would definitely look a lot different in these times.

 

[obin_gam]

Seriously HIGHLANDER is one of the olny franchises that deserves a real remake.
The premise is great and cool and badass and you can do basically whatever you want.

 

[Soltype]

The Secret of NIMH, thought someone would have made it by now. People love movies with talking animals.

Why remake movies that were already 'perfect' for one reason or another: Jaws, Gremlins and Running Man were great movies and would lose a LOT by remaking them. No need for those.

 

[Cunth]

Lost Boys. Or did they already do that

 

[kingbean]

The Blob

They remade the 1958 original in 1988.

In 9 out of 10 cases the main idea behind a remake is to make more cash thanks to an already established (and liked) idea for a movie, not to improve the original material.

The Running Man is an especially interesting case imo, it would work well (financially) as as a series of new movies (like Death Race sequels) or even as a tv series.

 

[sonomamashine]

GOAT, not sure if it's a good idea tho.

Time After Time

Really clever idea, and while it has aged pretty well, the limited practical effects let it down a little.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Hollywood puts together remakes all the time, Jumanji had one of the best casts in a while.

 

[bitbydeath]

They remade the 1958 original in 1988.

True but the 1988 one was always left open for a sequel and I’ve always wanted more.

Flash Gordon
Rocky Horror Picture Show
Neverending Story
Big Trouble in Little China

Got the new cast for you.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

ah yes the woke reboot, The Godmother

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I want an all female cast Goonies

 

[GymWolf]

strangely enough no one has made a goonies remake, not even after the boom of stranger things on netflix.

My man Sloth is legend

I think even starved, remake crazed Hollywood is hesitant to touch a treasure like Goonies

 

[and 3 others]

The Ten Commandments
Short Circuit
CGI Gremlins

I want a 1:1 remake of Short Circuit. Down to a white dude playing an Indian guy. Short Circuit would be an apt title.

 

[Doczu]

The Evil Dead sequels. We did get a serious remake but i'd like to see the sequels remade, with the comedy aspects.

i hope they remain hesitant with this one, goonies is one of my favourite movie ever and it doesn't need a remake.

 

[TheSadRanger]

Got the new cast for you.

Leave Annihilation out of this.

It's a damn solid sci-fi flick, don't lump it with Ghostbusters 2016 or the Charlie's Angels reboot. It doesn't deserve that.

Actually enjoyed that movie.

 

[Kadayi]

The Seven Samurai

I'm surprised that no ones seemingly stepped up to make an actual proper remake even if it was a shot for shot one.

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

This is my remake

 

[Cybrwzrd]

The Seven Samurai

I'm surprised that no ones seemingly stepped up to make an actual proper remake even if it was a shot for shot one.

Would be heresy to try.

 

[Kadayi]

Would be heresy to try.

If they played it straight I could see someone doing it

 

[captainraincoat]

The Shining
Jaws
The Fly
Warlock
Gremlins
Commando
Cobra
The Running Man

The running man would probably be the best out of those in this age
It could be like a hyper amped purge type movie and could easily be twisted into some anti trump/republicans

In today’s age it could also follow the original book more
