My Top 10 Films That Should Never be Remade

        In today's society we look at films as an escape from reality and some of the movies that we see can leave a special impact on our life. We also look at Hollywood and think they are stupid for remaking a movie that we dearly love or add a sequel to a film that we sometimes don't want or think the film doesn't need a sequel. Now I will say that no film is ever safe and could possibly use a remake but with that being said I'm going to bring you my top 10 films that should never be remade. So without further ado...





10. 2001: A Space Odyssey


        Now not only will Kubrick's family not let a remake happen, this film wouldn't look to great in today's society. Now some of you will say that the technology we have today will make this film look great but the thing is it's a futuristic film that is titled 2001: A Space Odyssey and I don't think filmgoing audiences will want to see the film.






9. Casablanca


        This film is very iconic and it has a special meaning and tone to it that it could only have an impact in the 1940's. I think that any filmmaker would actually be scared to remake this film






8. Toy Story


        Honestly why would you remake this. When a films story is still relavent almost 20 years after its release then there is absolutely no point to remake a film especially a film like this.





7. This is Spinal Tap


        An 80's film that has a ton of 80's cliches wouldn't work in this time period. This film came along at a time when rock n' roll was at it's peak and now it's blended in with pop so it's a confusing genre nowadays and spoof film wouldn't work.






6. Reservoir Dogs
 

        This film is the quintessential crime film. Every film that has come after it has had to live up to it (Pulp Fiction is the only one to do it and do it better and it's another Tarantino film). I honestly don't think that you can reboot the one of the top 3 greatest crime films of all-time.





5. The Shawshank Redemption


        Everything about this film is just absolutely perfect . This is one of the greatest films of all-time and it honestly doesn't deserve a remake.






4.  E. T. The Extra Terrestrial
 

        This film came out at the perfect time for a lot of people. It's an emotional tale and it's one that doesn't need to be remade. It's one of the greatest films of all-time and has the certain amount of cheesiness and nostalgia that just makes it perfect.





3. Apocalypse Now


        Listen it's no secret that Francis Ford Coppola had one of the worst times filming the film that it almost didn't get made (you can somewhat thank Marlon Brando for those problems. I believe that directors don't want to go thought the process again and that's why the film will never and never should be remade.






2. Pulp Fiction


        All I have to say is that this is one of my favorite films of all-time and I honestly don't want to see it remade and I'll be pretty pissed if is. Tarantino is a masterful director and I don't think anyone else could do any of his films any justice.





1. Citizen Kane


        Listen most movie pundits and critics agree that this is the greatest film of all-time (although it is just a little overrated). This film came at the perfect time and I feel that remaking this film would be a huge waste of time and money.
