    Denial is no good for anyone. I must accept that I have seen Alien Resurrection and, yes, there's a big white baby Alien that wants it's mummy. I have come to accept this.

    And there is a Highlander animated series too....

    I hear what you are saying there Bob, but I can see an argument for the other side.

    Films made before the special effects we have today (Spiderman 70's or the newest effort for instance)

    Books that were made into films and butchered by the film company (the book is always, with the exception of LOTR, better than the film, so there must have been some awful book > screen adaptations out there)


    I just shudder to think of them remaking Rainman or Shawshank, even though they probably won't for years yet if they ever do.

    Re: Films that should never be remade

    Ghost Rider, Fantastic 4, Emmanuelle (featuring Jessica Alba) should all be remade in my opinion

    Re: Films that should never be remade

    Anything French should not be remade in Hollywood. French films don't do happy endings, and never should*...


    *Apart from those that do, in which case it's OK...

    Re: Films that should never be remade

    You know they're remaking (or 're-imagining' I believe is their wording) the solid gold classic 'Scarface'.

    Which is quite frankly retarded and pointless.

    Thats easy, Star Wars Prequels for a start , the last Indiana Jones , Any Michael Bay Film involving robots ( cough ) ..

    Those are the main ones that come to mind though Id just easily not bother and let history erase them instead.

    Indiana Jones , Star Wars will still shine but as for Transformers...

    Same can be said for the Narnia films which were terrible as well .

    veid

    Thats some big boots to fill , I think they'd need to wait for some serious talent before attempting that one.

    Stalker would be good choice IMO ( there was film before the video game )

    Re: Films that should never be remade

    I work with a lad who will not accept that there has been a transformers film since the cartoon one in the 80`s

    If they ever attempt to remake Ferris Buellers Day off or The breakfast club then I hope the director dies a horrible death.

    Well, I cant blame him - I mean i know its fantasy, but its also a slap in the face to the very fans that supported and loved it , and having Shia labeouf in it , was like the kiss of death after the nightmare of this..

    It reminds of this scene at the start of Attack of the Clones in which almost half the theater ( im not joking ) walked out .

    It was so outrageous to watch / think this was the same director who did the originals I almost burst out in a fit of laughter thinking it was all a big joke of sort... if only
