a bang up to date Debbie Does Dallas would be sound.
(the old shower block scene was disgusting)
Jessica Simpson could play the new Debbie.

What? With a 'happy' ending like Get Carter? 
The Wicker Man remake opens up here in two weeks time. 
In general, I hate remakes. It shouldn't be necessary if the film was done right the first time. If it's based on a book, I take a softer stand on remakes, though. I wouldn't mind a remake of Dune, or The Punisher. Those are a couple of movies off the top of my head that could have/should have been better.

Good point.
Staying on the comic book theme, The League of Extraodinary Gentlemen could have been a bit better, though I thought it was decent. Though I liked Daredevil, enough other people didn't that the planned sequel was scrapped. Unbreakable was supposed to have a sequel but did poorly enough that they scrapped that one too. And what the hell was up with the Hulk movie? Fantastic Four was so-so too.
Bottom line: beware the comic book movies!

Not Paris Hilton? No, wait, she's already done that.

By the way, your new avatar look like a prison break. I expect there are spotlights and guard dogs behind him.
The reason ive started the thread was because ive just seen on Sky that Tony Scott is making a remake of The Warriors.
As a rule, sequels and remakes are always always shite next to the originals. Recent sequel exceptions would be Batman Begins and Superman Returns but even then I doubt they'll be looked back on as all-time great movies. Superman Returns was about half an hour too long as well.
Sequels aside, can anyone name a remake that was truly better than the original effort?
I'd like to see Hollywood come up with some new ideas instead of rehashing old franchises for a quick buck. There's fcuk all originality left in the "big" movie business, just calculating money-making bastards like Joel Schumacher scamming parents out of cash.

That's what I mean! The Warriors is already a great movie. Whhy the hell do we need a remake???

Not entirely sure I'd find some of those gangs scary any more! 
A big mob of mime artists could might do the trick though.

Are you suggesting a mime version of The Warriors?

Yeah, but the stuff they could do these days on green slime with computer graphics. Ooooh.
Theres that new Transformers film too. Ghostbusters 3 would be a bad choice i think. Bill Marray would be way too old!
supposedly the "new" warriors film will be set in L.A. and the only thing connecting this to the classic film is the name warriors of the gang
here is a link to pictures of the Original cast taken at a recent screening of the original film

I read that was supposed to happen a few years ago, with Francis Ford Coppola trying to assemble a new cast of young actors. I'm hoping that didn't fall through; the original is a good movie - youth movie or otherwise.
i'd like to see something i call the pre-terminator, where we actually see the battle between the machines and man and perhaps even a happy ending.
an x files movie that actually wraps everything up would be nice as well.
As far as Ghostbusters 3 goes, i read an interview with Dan Akroyd and he said there was a story for ghostbusters 3 where they went to hell to beat the ghosts and goblins, but the studio turned it down on budgeting reasons saying it'd be a $200m+ movie to make on special effects.
on the sequal front give me another Back to the future or police Academy.
