With the stellar opening weekend of A-Team (JUST KIDDING) and this summer’s box office facing some serious desolation, I want to talk about WHY Hollywood thinks it is ok to remake all these damn movies.
Just today I read THIS MOVIE is being remade…
WHAT?! FOR REAL? Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead?!! Ok I JUST don’t get it. Apparently with Karate Kid’s success at the box office, family films from the 80′s are getting a reboot. Here are some movies I beg Hollywood doesn’t remake.
Goonies: Goonies never say die, but I am saying a remake of this film could make me die!
ET: Henry Thomas may need the work, but can’t we just leave ET alone back up on his home planet with his reeses pieces and bicycle. Already re-released in 2002 I beg Spielberg doesn’t let this classic get remade.
Neverending Story: Sebastian, Atreyu and friends coming back? Maybe Sebastian’s mom can have a cooler name next time?
My name is Inigo Mantoya please don’t remake this movie!
Any John Hughes Film! Hollywood will try to make great teen comedy, but no one has been able to get it quite right since Hughes. Heckerling came close with Clueless and of course Tina Fey with Mean Girls, but trying to remake a John Hughes film is like trying to say the best buffalo wings don’t come from Buffalo, NY or that Domino’s makes better pizza than Ray’s in NY… it just isn’t the same.
So tell me readers… any movies you would hate to see remade by Hollywood Execs? Would love your feedback!
