Films that can not be remade

Post Reply New Topic

Some off the top of my head:

The Wizard of Oz
Forrest Gump
Star Wars
The Breakfast Club

Psycho
The Birds
Rear Window
North by Northwest
Vertigo
Cool Hand Luke
Apollo 13
Seabiscuit
Cinderella Man

I'll go out on a limb and say with the right components (budget, script, director, etc, etc) any film can be remade and have the remake be a better product.

Frozen
The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit Trilogies.
No Country For Old Men
There Will Be Blood
Heathers
Gangs of New York

Badlands
Alien
Aliens

Four Lions
π
Filth
Trainspotting
Ichi The Killer
Battle Royale*
The Raid**
Audition
La Haine
Naked

*Excluding The Hunger Games, though The Running Man did it first.

**The remake planned will never match the zenith of these 2 bloody marvelous action films

Mad Max: Fury Road
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
The Jungle Book (2016)

Colors
Midnight Express
Boyz-N-The-Hood
The Wizard
E.T.
Tron
The Last Starfighter
Ferris Bueler's Day Off
The Godfather
Scarface
Saturday Night Fever
War Games
The Princess Bride
Friday
Red Dawn

This is nonsense, everyone knows Hollywood will remake anything if there's money in it. Nothing is so sacred.
