So remake, not sequel?

I'm going with Red Dawn. Perfect for 1984.

The Eleven Commandments. So cheesy, and you could see the ending coming a mile away.

The Fugitive 1993 terrible remake of the 60s TV series.

Just kidding, but maybe the quibi remake of the fugitive that is on now.

They already remade this movie, it was called Due Date, starring Robert Downey Jr and Zach Galifianakis. To remake a John Hughes film is unacceptable.

Two things..no ****ing way

BUT...maybe if they called it something else and made it about 10 years ago? and only if Kevin Hart tones it down a little bit

Rollerball is the correct answer. AND John McTiernan wiretapped his producer during it and went to jail, or something crazy like that.

If Home Alone isn't remade in the next decade I'll be shocked.

It's a family tradition to watch this movie about once a year.

The last time I watched it, I realized that the movie only works because they have no smart phones, Google Maps, Uber, etc.

The situations Steve Martin and John Candy find themselves in simply would not happen today because information is instantly at our fingertips.

Not to mention, traveling is just a whole lot easier and more convenient today (well, at least it was pre-Covid).

I guess you could call it a "remake", but it just wouldn't be anything even remotely like the original. Society and technology have changed too much.

this could have been decent. but, like many, many action movies these days, the action and cgi has completely replaced the script.

I was thinking about that when Ferris Bueller was on the other day. Between Ring, cellphones, and social media, Ferris would have been busted after the parade.

So would I, given that it's already announced.

Based on Kevin Hart's driving records, if I'm will Smith I'd stick to the planes and trains.

Red Dawn is near the top of my list, just because the plot of the remake is so absurd (not that the plot of the original is great, but it is much more reasonable then the remake).

I think the worst remake is Point Break. The 2015 version didn't have a story and the action scenes weren't worth watching.

Also, the 2014 version of Robocop was terrible.

Collin Farrell has been in remakes of Total Recall, Dumbo, Fright Night, and the TV shows SWAT and Miami Vice. Someone has a type.

The Day The Earth Stood Still.

The original is a science fiction classic with the phrase, "Klaatu barada nikto" even serving as the source for names of characters in Jabba's palace in Return of the Jedi.

They re-imagined the remake to serve their global warming garbage, whereas the original focused on an anti-nuclear idea.

On the other hand, when the remade Westworld with dinosaurs, it turned out great!

PT&A would be better with Will Farrel and Kevin Hart.

Bruce Campbell always gets a blue star. That's the real TA "rule #1" as far as I'm concerned.
