    Bad Taste? As much as i hate to admit it, I haven't seen that one yet. I'm turning in my Horror fanboy badge even as I say this. But let Jackson have another massive budget, three plus hours of running time, and see what he can do with an update. Tank Girl? A fun goof of a movie, and Naomi Watts as the nerdy yet sexy sidekick? That girl seriously carbonated my hormones even back then. Sure, let's remake it, give it to Joss Whedon for the script, Brian Singer directed and Chris Nolan produced. Jennifer Lawrence as Tank Girl, and Abigail Breslin as her trusty mechanic. Oh, and CGI Anthro-roos with Andy Serkis handling the motion capture and voice work.

    Way Zim

    Ohmigosh yes! You really read my mind on the 'Tank Girl' remake.
    And you gotta see Bad Taste. It's like Braindead, but even lower budget, and you get a real feel for New Zealand in it.

    if this were a contest, this might well be a winner. "Them!", if done right, could be one of those "fun ride" kind of films.

    Stephen Kings "It", very much deserving of a remake if it stuck far more closely to the book and included a lot of scenes that didn't make it in to the TV movie version.

    Oh lordy no! The original cannot be outdone! The characters, the acting, the cheesy-ness, the effects, the one-liners!! One of my favorite movies to torture friends with. I expect Jackson would prefer the movie get lost. But a remake? No chance it'd be better than the original.

    "Them" would be a fun movie to see redone.
    "The Black Hole" would be good with updated special effects and a more inventive plot.

    What about "The Warriors" as a remake? *dives into a bomb shelter till the fan-rage subsides*
    Just look at my face. You can tell I post at HPOTD.

    No way, "The Warriors" wouldn't work ... it'd just be lame as a remake. The film is so entrenched in that particular time, in that particular version of New York. It's iconic.

    They did release a "director's cut" version of it, but all that was different was there were these pointless 'comic book transitions' between scenes as well as some up-their-arse pre-film text about ancient warriors or some bollocks.

    Ah Trin, you know just what to say.
    Total agreement about 'The Black Hole'.
    I would've said 'It', but that's technically not a movie, so pfft.

    Wow, how original -- a left-wing politically subversive movie out of Hollywood. Just like, oh, everything Sean Penn has been involved with since Fast Times at Ridgemont High? A real breath of fresh air would have been seeing the movie actually reflect the less-conventional (for Hollywood) political views in the novel.
