Movies that SHOULD be re-made
Okay i'm watching Creepshow right now and I gotta beleive with all the great actors out there right now, now is the time for this great movie to be remade. Face it this is the kind of movie that lends itself to a remake, all you need is the basic formula and you can go nuts with the 5 tales and you got yourself a hit. See some movies that have been forgotten with time should be remade. Some movies had good ideas but went the wrong way with them. Here are some older movies that would do well with a remake:
Creepshow
Dead Heat
Sleuth
Communion
Death Wish
You guy got any?

Ernest beat me to it - SW:TPM. Except for the lightsaber duel, the current version is pitiful.

Although I am a fan of Pearl Harbor as it is, I think it would fare much better without a love story taking up most of the storyline. I wasn't much of a fan of Randall Wallace's writing, so have John Lee Hancock join the writing team, at least for the revisions. Michael Bay can stay *gasps aplenty*, and end the movie on FDR's speech. He showed that war scenes could be done just fine with a PG-13 rating, but I wouldn't have a problem with a R-rated movie, as long as he doesn't go overboard like he did in Bad Boys II.
Spielberg should remake all three Star Wars prequels. At the very least, the acting could be so much better. I honestly don't think the acting in the original trilogy was bad at all, but I think it really shows in the two prequels so far.
The man I loved - the man who vanished - he never came back at all. But maybe he's still out there, somewhere. Maybe some day, when Gotham no longer needs Batman, I'll see him again.

No way about The Ten Commandments. With THE PASSION and Easter I have watched several bible movies over the last month or so. None can compare to The Ten Commandments. Still my all-time favorite bible movie.

I'd leave Tron and Spartacus alone. In fact, their current DVD releases are nothing less than astounding.
One movie that should be redone is "The Longest Day". What I originally saw a few years ago was NOT what I would call a motion picture classic. It was long and tedious with too many detached and incomplete storylines.

The Women
What a cast and what an opportunity to recreate such a cast! The original is terrific but a little tame for today's standards. The characters are wonderful though I think Moira Shearer overacts in her role as Mary. Most of the characters are the fashionable set of Fifth Avenue so naturally the film is quite dated but the story is as solid as ever. The big hook in The Women is that there are no males anywhere, not even animals, in the movie and I think that would make a great selling point even today. As to the surprise technicolor sequences, maybe make them 3D.
Salem's Lot
