I agree.

I think they should do all five books as movies. Live action would be interesting. These were my favorite books as a kid.

I know it's too soon, but I'd really like The Lord of the Rings to be remade.


(or maybe just the last two installments)

One of my most hated Disney films is the live-action '101 Dalmatians'. I wish they would remake that one in the style of the animated film. The story is about the dogs and them being masters of their human owners, it's not supposed to have been a silly 'Home Alone' type movie with burglars falling all over the place. And although I love Glenn Close, I didn't think she was even close to being the evil Rosalind Russell-type character that Cruella was/is.

Remake that with talking dogs (like in 'Babe') and someone like Joanna Lumley as Cruella and I'll be a happy girl.

I love the whole set. why without those two? admittedly shes not THE actress of all time but why no Andy? maybe just replace her?

I think he original Star Wars should be remade with Ben Affleck as Luke, Paris Hilton as Leia, William Shatner as Obi-Wan, and Keanu Reeves as Han Solo.

I agree to that only if Gibert Gottfried is the voice of Darth Vader.

Eh, I just found them both (her especially), to be more of a distraction than anything. Of course, I only saw it once. Maybe I should give it another chance.

The first two Godfather movies are just very dear to my heart, probably two of my all-time favorite films. I thought the 3rd just didn't fit with the other two and it was mainly because I couldn't get past her acting.

Andy Garcia was ok, but I've liked him better in other films.

That is SO wrong on SO many levels.

I would have to see it just to see the train wreck

I know this is a little tangential (what isn't tangential here, anyway?), but what about movies that need to get made that for one reason or another just haven't?

I'm thinking of things like:
- "Stranger in a Strange Land" - Daniel Waters (Heathers, Demolition Man) wrote a script based on the Heinlein novel. Still no flick...

- "The Dice Man" - one of my favorite books. At one point was optioned by John Frankenheimer. Now it's supposed to be done by Dan Waters (see above) and his brother Mark.

...come to think of it, this might be too much of a tangent. Carry on.

I'd like to see a remake of Disney's own "The Black Hole" - starring Crispin Glover in the Anthony Perkins role...
