The Dark Knight trilogy far surpassed the original Batman movies.

I think that's true.

One re-make I enjoyed (but I don't think surpassed) was Sabrina.

I would love an updated Notting Hill.

I'd love to see a remake of "Gone with the Wind."

My dad loves the Sabrina remake and used to watch it over and over again...on VHS no less!

I'd also like a You've Got Mail remake with Facebook and Twitter somehow.

Red Dawn remake sucked.

But, I'd like to see Breakfast Club or 16 Candles remade. Or Heathers. Or Pump up the Volume. Any others?

It was awful, just awful, I wish I could unsee it and get that time back.

The original sucked. I didn't even realize they made a re-make.

Honestly, they should leave anything by John Hughes alone. Heathers was pretty re-markable and doesn't warrant a re-make.

Pump the Volume could have been a better a movie and not sure it would translate into a remake anyway.

The original was ground breaking. It is even the reason there is a PG-13 rating.

Well if that's your definition of ground breaking...yes, very violent, jingoistic and STUPID. Why would Russians invade some podunk town? They wouldn't. They would have tried to annihilate us with a nuclear option.

Heathers will never be remade. A movie about killing bullies and trying to blow up a school? No way. Besides, Mean Girls was good and is the Millenial version of Heathers.

Ocean's 11 and Dawn of the Dead are really good remakes.

Any sci-fi fans here? I was watching Logan's Run the other day and thought this movie is screaming for a remake.

Would love to see the suggestion of Gone With the Wind from mammy's perspective. Great idea!
And as for Logan's Run, yes, with the right writer and director. I vote Joss Whedon or JJ Abrams.

Those 2 could nail it for sure. It's such an interesting concept, but time has just not been kind to that movie.

It wasn't ground breaking just because of the rating system changes.

First it wasn't just the Russians that invaded but a coalition that included Russians, Cubans and North Koreans (I think). They didn't just invade a small town but the town was included in the invasion. The kids didn't end the war but they were pushing back and great at guerilla warfare. The story was how a few can change the world.

Oooooo. Haven't seen that in many, many years, but LOVED it as a kid. I imagine a remake would do very well.

I LOVE that movie! Thought I was the only one who had seen it, let alone liked it. Haven't seen it in ages, though.

Some movies should never be remafe: Casablanca, GWTW. No actor today can compete with Bogart, Bergman, Leigh, Gable.

If you want GWTW from Mammy's perspective then read The Wind Done Gone and make this into a movie.
