I wish they hadn't remade Willy Wonka. The new version is B.A.D.
Dunno if it qualifies as a "Remake", but I loved George Lucas going back and touching up Star Wars.Tweaked here, something added there....It regenerated interest, and modernized one of the best Sci-Fi movies of all time. I'd like to see a remake of Sands of IwoJima, modernized and gritty like Private Ryan. |

I ain't kidding; anyway, Marty I think would be ideal having a go at The Night of the Hunter (1955) - a true classic. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048424/ I'm surprised he hasn't considered it yet a lover of the world cinema he is.

Night of the Hunter
No, leave The Night of the Hunter exactly as it is. What made the film a classic was its unusuality, looking totally different from anything else around.

Night of the Hunter was remade with Richard Chamberlain and it showed again remakes are generaly a waste of time. I do agree that Cape Fear was an exeption but I have a hard time picking which version I like better. Maybe if they had switched the casting-if Nolte and Deniro had gone against type.

Evening all
I would like to nominate a film that is not only a remake but also spawned a sequel, namely Steve Martin as Clouseau in The Pink Panther (2006) & The Pink Panther 2 (2009). I really like Steve Martin especially in The Jerk and The Man With Two Brains and i sat down to watch this with an open mind, to see if Steve could pull it off. My opinion, he failed, my mind wasn't open for long. What was he thinking? Comics should never steal other comics work. It will never work when the subject is the iconic Inspector Clouseau. There can only be one actor to play this role and that is Peter Sellers. If you have only ever watched the recent Pink Panther films with Steve Martin as the bumbling Clouseau, then i hope that you enjoyed them, but i beg of you to watch the originals and see how it should be done. I have a confession to make. I only watched about 15mins of the 1st film and have not seen the 2nd at all. So i might be wrong and Steve Martin may have been brilliant but the little that i did see i found to be slightly, dare i say it "blasphemous". |

In my more misanthropic moments, I want the world to have a remake of Casablanca with Megan Fux and Shit Leboeuf directed by Michael Bay's crasser brother. Jack Black can be Captain Renault.

Regarding the "Pink Panther" post: edward126, I couldn't agree with you more. However, my best friend's sons (13 and 10) think the Steve Martin versions are the funniest things out there. Another thing, they went to see the Steve Carrell version of "Get Smart" and they loved it. Then I showed them a couple of episodes of the original show on DVD and they looked at me like I was nuts for claiming that the show was better than the movie. I weep for today's youth.

By the way excellent idea of the old switch a rooo role reversals regarding Nolte and Deniro , think you should consider a side job as a casting agent. Never even occurred to me ,but it would have cranked up the tale no end. I mean Nolte can play underlined menace with the best of them , which if anybody has seen Q&A would surely testify to. Plus they`d have been the added benefit of Deniro HAVING to tone down his performance , damn i sense a totally missed opportunity to create a classic Hmmmm wonder if it`s too late to remake the remake Quote:
Second that , think true film fans always will miss the guy. Still from what i`ve seen of him through old interviews and such he wasn`t simply a world class martial artist but also a world class human being. A massive loss indeed
