10. Blade Runner (Remake or Sequel)
The original film is a sci-fi masterpiece and the visuals that it had were breathtakingly amazing and I can only imagine what a sequel or reboot would look like today. As of now Ridley Scott is planning on an untitled film once he is done with the upcoming Exodus (comes out later this year) and the already confirmed Prometheus 2 and many suspect that the untitled film is in fact Blade Runner 2. All I can say is Ridley Scott don't make Prometheus 2 and just get straight to work on Blade Runner 2 .
9. Metropolis (Remake)
I know many of you have never seen or have even heard of this movie and that's not a surprise since it came out in 1927. Compared to the visuals we see today, Metropolis was ahead of it's time and I feel that an American version of this German epic in today's society would be magnificent.
8. The Wizard of Oz (Remake)
Now before I even start I know I going to catch a lot of crap for saying this, but just Imagine Oz with today's technology. The Emerald City would amazing and the possibility of CGI flying monkeys makes it even more of a fun idea.
7. Dune (Remake)
Like I said with Blade Runner, this film was ahead of its time and the effects were amazing. This film while it has its problems still looked amazing in 1984 and it would look even more amazing in 2014.
6. Animal House (Remake)
This is one of the greatest comedies of all-time as well as one of my favorite films of all-time. This film helped launch careers for people such as John Belushi and Kevin Bacon and I feel that a remake of this film could help younger talent launch their careers and get them on the biggest stage.
5. 12 Angry Men (Remake)
This film has already had a remake but it was for TV and it was with a majority of lesser known talent besides Tony Danza. George C. Scott and James Gandolfini. If you put a few a-listers into a remake I personally think that you could easily top the original.
4. The Towering Inferno (Remake)
Speaking of a-list talent this film was an amazing disaster film (it's a good film not a disaster). This film had a lot of a-list talent from the 1970's and I feel that you could add a little bit of special effects and a-list talent from today, I think this film could be amazing.
3. The Breakfast Club (Remake)
This film was such a hit in the 80's and it resonates to this day. John Hughes had such a good talent for bringing the problems that teens on to the big screen and showing everyone the struggles that they have. I feel that a remake of this movie with some of today's issues could have the same impact as this did in the 80's.
2. Galaxy Quest (Sequel)
This film set itself up to have a sequel. It's a basic parody of Star Trek and it was just absolutely hilarious and I feel that the crew of NSEA-Protector has many more adventures that it could go on.
1. Innerspace (Remake)
As a kid watching this I really didn't understand what it was about. But after watching it later in life I found it to be very enjoyable as well as an in-depth look into the human body. As I have said before, with today's technology it is untelling what the filmmakers could do with this film.
So ladies and gentlemen what do you think of my list and what are some films that you like a sequel or remake to? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice b heard.
