What Movies Should Never be Remade?

With the endless line of remakes/reboot Hollywood is producing lately, I couldn’t help but ask twitter, “What movie should NEVER be remade?” A lot of people answered Back to the Future, which I couldn’t agree with more, but that’s not my number one film I’d hate to see get remade. I’m almost afraid to mention my #1 at all in case it somehow gets back to Hollywood and they decide it’s a great idea, but I guess I will anyways. My #1 film I think should never be remade is Tremors! That film is too perfect the way it is and wouldn’t gain anything from being remade.
Here’s what some twitpals had to say:

joroman007 the Evil Dead 🙂
ThePeterWhitney without remakes we wouldn’t have Carpenter’s Thing, Cronenburg’s Fly, Sorcerer, or Man on Fire. They can be good
g3raldcoleman after some thought, the ONE movie that should never, ever, ever be touched is, Enter the Dragon … #classicofalltime
kingkielbasa53 Indiana Jones should never be remade…nor had a fourth produced!
OXOCube75 only good thing about remakes is they release the originals on blu ray to let you watch over and over again
CURN69 Excalibur
Fireflyspike You forgot Army of Darkness!
Stupidartpunk The Crow.
meribirdwell I’m honestly good with no movies getting remade.
JediiRaccoon ‘Bring it On’ the 1st 1 was the Best! “Spirit Fingers”…..& ‘Cutting Edge’ also 1st 1 is Best!…”Toe Pick!”
Das_Pooch gleaming the cube
DudeWillz the matrix should never get remade. Ever.
BrettNelson69 Not sure they should be remaking John Carpenters remake of “the thing” (from another planet)
Dalanna23 if anyone tried remaking Jaws, part of my soul would die.
Decalescence Back to Future Series should never be redone. No way it could be improved as MJF and C Loyd were the reason it was so awesome.
starmanjack43 They should never remake Star Wars or Indiana Jones either…
RWordsworth No movie should be remade. Even if it’s a sucker of a movie.
Porkins You forgot the 5th Element and Buckaroo Banzai!
everyfilmin2011 Add Schindler’s List, Goodfellas, Some Like It Hot and It’s A Wonderful Life to that list.
OverlordOf_Evil Oh, I don’t know. I think Jaws & Blade Runner could both be redone/updated successfully. Casablanca & Godfather agree leave be.
alexquintero121 what about event horizon
MisfitsTamara I would burn a studio down if they tried to remake BTTF. Also Princess Bride and Goonies.
keithludwig #lordoftherings
LordComet Star wars?
PubliiusClodius…If anybody attempts to remake “The GodFather”…will probably end up in a Barrel headed for Mexico……..
SAssassian Leave alone Star Wars; So Bad Josie and the Pussycats
WorkSuxAlot If they remake Troll 2, would it mean there would be a Best Worse Movie 2?
CannonBall15 The Goonies
Tearsinrain78 agree about not remaking blade runner but another film in the world could be good or a prequel / sequel
ItalianStaIlion I would love to see a remake of wacky races!!! Muttley is gold!
kiddsarahhh Gone with the Wind!
BenFlavor The Fog …….. oh. Shit.
ericbaber87 back to the future should not be touched! Classic!
redking1981 I’m telling you, Jaws. One of the greatest movies of all time. Action, comedy, drama, horror. The total package!

Tearsinrain78 Sound of music , clerks,
worchyld Don’t remake eastern action movies, ie: John Woo movies. His 80s style is a bit cliched and overdone these days.
yourgodfearsme I was thinking a movie that could not be improved by a remake. No reason to redo Rocky Horror
Bill626 Jaws and that is a fact, no remake, no adding a CGI shark, nothing, don’t touch it! Do what you want with the sequels though =)
Sen_Goku Bladerunner, Just don’t mess with it!
moniker_r5 Ultimately no movie should ever be remade…period. The End.
brookeaholic any of the SAW’s it would be horrible and I would cry.
csananes There are a lot.
joelbellucci Me: Avatar: The Last Airbender.” Dammit, I thought you wrote made not remade. #JokeFail
joelbellucci Avatar: The Last Airbender. Oh…wait…
johnny_utah Back to the Future, um… because it is the Future? Seriously though, you mess with Raiders or Indy & some punk is going down!
Luigi2197 no more, starship troopers
BastardGiles NO movie should ever get remade. hollywood should have an original idea and come up with something new.
PhynalErin Return of the Living Dead. James Karen is a god. #goditellyou
csamact Bladerunner. You can’t perfect perfection.
AnthonyHoffman The Godfather. Back to the Future.
brahms1975 Glengarry Glen Ross, that Alec Baldwin scene is tops
GrathXVI Either Twilight or Battlefield Earth
redking1981 Jaws
r_mendoza11 Road House
sarahs_lame Clash of the Tita-…oh…never mind…
simplyjc2 where do I begin? Sunset Boulevard, and anything that had Gene Kelly or Judy Garland. Titanic. Any 80’s movie. Musicals
bardas88 all the good ones.
CatboySuperhero Bladerunner. It’s perfect the way it is.
g3raldcoleman The Big Lebowski … The Matrix

cpinerthegeek Back To The Future. A timeless (pun intended) classic that still holds up to this day.

madmonq I’d say #StarWars but Lucas is doing that with every re-release. Making them worse than before in keeping with modern remakes.

ShinkisRule Princess Bride, THEY DARE NOT. And Buffy without Joss. I don’t see their logic. D:
