What movies should Hollywood remake?

Someone could do a remake of the first Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Even if it turns out crap, at least there is no way in hell it could possibly be worse than the first one. :\

Was your mental connection also responsible for it to be starring Paris Hilton?
Well, she does bear an uncanny resemblance to a wax statue.

I'd like 'em to do a good version of The Jewel of Seven Stars. I mean, we've had what, three, and all blew chunks, so... fourth time's a charm.
 


The James Bond poll made me come up with this one...

On Her Majesty's Secret Service is worthy of a remake. The original suffered from questionable casting (most Bond fans strongly disliked Lazenby, although he does have a few defenders), continuity errors with the earlier Bond films, and shoddy editing. On the plus side, the movie had featured a look into Bond's more human side, a decent storyline, and some good action scenes. The original also had a great performance by Diana Rigg, whose character was the only woman who ever stole Bond's heart.

A modern remake of this movie would have to have better casting for Bond (Brosnan would work) and Blofeld (Telly Savalas was to thuggish and tough to play the cerebral, contemplative Blofeld). The editing could be cleaned up, and they could ditch the Austin Powers-like Shagadellic feel. Bond's love interest, Tracy, would have to be played by a woman who is young, beautiful, and also has decent acting skills (Miranda Otto, perhaps?). It could work.
 

Ya know, Van Helsing got me thinking that maybe a Jekyll & Hyde movie (that has nothing to do with Van Helsing or LXG) Could be pretty cool too. It wouldn't even necessarily have to be set in that time period. It could be more modern. Like The Invisible Man is to Hollow Man, not that that was such a great remake, but you get my drift.

Seems like I've seen rumors on a lot of sites about Spielberg doing a remake of War of the Worlds.
Or maybe a digital re-tooling of the original in which the Martian ships shoot marshmallows...
 


How 'bout a remake of Earth Girls are Easy? Not that the first one wasn't crazy enough, but another, more modern one might be slightly entertaining. ;)
 

I would suggest a remake of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but there's already one of those in the works, directed by Tim Burton and starring Johnny Depp. I can't wait. :D
 

I would like to see Metropolis remade not as a replacement but more as a tribute. The dialogue and action are well balanced and would make a great intellectual/action movie.
