    Again?

    EDIT: I am counting the mini series that was released as once.

    Damn...they have Momoa, Brolin and Bautista in it.

    Kind of a weird choice on pick to play Muad Dib.

    I’ll second the Ronin sequel.

    I’d really like to see The Longest Day redone. And no SJW crap.

    All the Star Wars except 4,5 and 6 and 4 needs to be the original cut with Han shooting first. And Scout The Longest Day is perfect, lots of great actors and no CGI.

    I would also like to see an expanded Pacific, Band of Brothers covered less than a year of combat in 10 episodes while The Pacific crammed 4 years of war into 10 episodes, not near enough.

    The last episode of Game of Thrones.

    I'm not sure I want Disney messing around with the Star Wars saga any more than they already have unless it's to say "J/K, Episodes 7, 8 and 9 are being removed because we went full potato with them."

    And let's face it, the whole last season of GoT should be redone.

    I'd like to see that story made without the 12 ft tranny, monsters, and homo eroticism and such. I didn't know it was based on a comic book when I saw it, and thought it really sucked. I mean, it's not like that real story is not amazing enough.

    Sure, I know some really like that movie, perhaps already awares of the comic is was based on, but for me, it was total disappointment other than a few good battle scenes and one liners.

    That one should be remade following the actual history. BTW, History Channel did "Last Stand of the 300: The Legendary Battle at Thermopylae" which is fantastic and worth a view.

    What you got?
    There was a tranny? I never noticed. There were some weird chicks in a tent though...

    I was actually ok with it being super over-the-top, since like FMCDH mentioned, it's more of a "mythologisation" of the events. Because remember, at the end you realize the one-eyed Spartan is "telling the story" to everyone, it's not a docu-drama. And it was f***ing glorious.
    Once.
    Like, the kind of movie you watch once, and it's awesome, but every time you watch it after that it gets lamer... That's my only gripe; not good for a revisit more than once ever 1-2 years.

    My vote for a remake;
    Leon the Professional.
    Wanted to like it, but the lead actor is a bit... too odd to latch onto, and then there was the cringe with mini-Portman...oh the cringe...

    But not another bad Western. Maybe in space or something. Or keep it in Japan.

    Inagaki’s trilogy from Yoshukawa’s Miyamoto Musashi
    Little Caesar

    300 should be discarded for the scrap it is, and a film should be made based on Gates of Fire.

    Do not think about touching The Longest Day.

    QFT. The original cast alone makes that movie untouchable.

    I'm only interested in remakes if they are able to improve upon the original like True Grit. I'm sorry, and I know this is going to anger some boomers, but the Jeff Bridges remake was better in every way than the original version with John Wayne.

    Another remake that was light years ahead of the original is the 2002 version of The Bourne Identity. The 1988 version is just awful.

    The best remake of all time though is the 1995 Michael Mann classic Heat. The made for tv version that Mann did in 1989 called L.A. Takedown was decent enough for a made for tv movie, but Heat is a masterpiece.

    As far as movies I'd like to see remade, I'd vote for Dirty Harry, but I know Hollywood would screw it up. It would have to be dark, with good casting. No getting The Rock to play Harry Callahan either.

    Denzel Washington‘s version of man on fire is purely sublime. A masterpiece and way better than the original which I couldn’t get through.

    There are movies you can watch once and really like but never have to see you again there are other Movies that whenever they’re on if you come across them you watch them, and then there’s one you come across turn on and tell everybody else to shut up and watch the movie. Man on Fire with Denzel is that way. Pure love, Pure evil, damnation and redemption, gunplay, anal bombs, Christopher Walken, Justice at the Reckoning levels, sacrifice and loss.

    Maybe "Earth vs. The Flying Saucers."

    I know Independence Day largely covered this one and I worry that they will destroy it like they did with "The Day the Earth Stood Still" but could be fun if done right.
