What movies should Hollywood remake?

[D+1]

Here's one dying for a remake... Forbidden Planet.

Sacrilege! Philestine! Heathen! It's got sets and effects that are just mind-blowing considering when it was made. It COULD be remade but the original, despite its VERY '50's mindset, stands up so well.

Nate & Hayes. But who could really replace Tommy Lee Jones?

I'd like to see House of Wax remade. It was possibly one of the best older horror movies and I can see Geoffrey Rush easily replacing Vincent Price in the movie as the museum owner and general burnt up wacko.

I bet Dark Castle Entertainment could do a good job of remaking it, if they stayed away from Halle Berry. Gothika just about bankrupted the company it was so bad.

I just found out that DCE IS remaking House of Wax. I must be connected to them on a mental level or something.

Was your mental connection also responsible for it to be starring Paris Hilton?

I love it when Dean Stockwell does the fish impression while chanting "Yog-Sothoth, Yog-Sothoth!" Quality film-making!

I would love to see this story done well (or at least DONE, the movie bore almost no resemblence to the original story). It's one of Lovecraft's best, I think.

i'd like to see a film version of the Lord of the Rings that is true to the books.

Although it wouldn't count as a remake (I don't think it was ever done), I would like very much to see a true-to-story film of

A Princess of Mars

It'd be interesting to see updates of, say, War of the Worlds, First Men in the Moon, and some of the other Wells/Verne type stories.

Seems like I've seen rumors on a lot of sites about Spielberg doing a remake of War of the Worlds.
