It seems like so much crap is being remade into senseless drivel. Why not movies that should be remade so that each generation can appreciate them. I was watching "The Great Dictator" last night... classic, timeless movie, but my kids weren't interested.
Also, what current actor should play the lead and be convincing. I was thinking John Cusack.

i don't know that movie, but i googled it and just seeing pics, cusack could definitely look the role.

for me, it's not that old, but i'd like to see 'queen of the damned' remade. it was a disasterous portrayal of the book. anne rice would be rolling in her grave, were she in it yet.

The last star fighter, they could use decent special effects this time. Most of my favorite old movies I'd rather not see remade, because they would probably ruin them, like they usually ruin the books.

Was hoping for more social/political genres. Queen of the Damned was a decent campy movie, if you don't compare it to the book... like most of Hollywood. The kids and I really enjoy Last Starfighter, Explorers, Flight of the Navigator... movies where dreams are made possible.
I'd love to see a current adaptation of 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or even Soylent Green.
