With all the remakes being done, are there any movies you'd like to see redone?
 
Although I'm still thinking about it, I can't come up with any... 

None.
 
I could probably think of a few that I'd like to be unmade though.

Which hasn't or isn't in the making? :s
 
Seems every time I watch an old movie and look up for info on the internet, I also read that a remake is in the making or that an agreement for one has been reached.
 
Latest one - Gremlins. There's an entire generation of movie makers out there who mistake special effects and CGI for scenario ideas.

Mostly, I'd rather not see too many remakes.  However, one that might make sense would be Fantastic Voyage.  The special effects were pretty good in their day(1966), but I think today's technology would make it much more believable--especially with the right director, writer and a good cast. 

For me, the problem with remakes of a good or classic movie is that the newer actors/actresses are all just plain meh and are lackluster. They're actually not even in the same league as the original actors etc....just the graphics/special fx carry the weight in newer movies.

Original or remake, it's just an exercise in greed if they use all the budget on CGI and stars but don't have a good script. 

Actually, Jan's choice was a good one.  I was trying to think of one that would benefit from the advances in effects.

Who would take the place of Raquel Welsh? 

''Saving Private Ryan.''
 
Remade to include all the other nationalities that were present at the Normandy Landings.

What do you mean?  They showed BOTH the Americans AND the Germans.  Sheesh! 
 
(I know, I know...  You have a soft spot for those Canadians.  It's ok, but they were on another beach: Gold, Juno or Sword - just like any other nationalities that participated.  )
