Don't even think of remaking It's a Wonderful Life, or even Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Frank Capra was a flat out genius.

I'm not even commenting on the quality of the movie, necessarily... The racial humor is relatively risque by today's standards and probably wouldn't have the same level of success because of new writers trying to be PC.


Agreed! In fact, anything by Mel Brooks should simply not be touched. Oh Spaceballs!

I stumbled across some "behind the scenes of" on Youtube of Young Frankenstein. Nobody could ever, ever top the humor in that movie.

Add Yankee Doodle Dandy to the list, even the old Warner Bros biopics always took a lot of artistic license with the subjects they were filming.
