Movie Remakes they SHOULD consider

My favorite version of Caligari (though it's not really a remake at all) is the movie 'Dr. Caligari' by Steve Sayadian, aka Rinse Dream. It's an R-Rated movie that is actually a sequel to the X-Rated flick 'Nightdreams'. You don't need to see the porn flick to appreciate the completely twisted 'Caligari', which was cowritten by Jerry Stahl (the 'Permanent Midnight' guy), and the score is by Mitchell Froom - a truly swanky guy.

It's really a must-see. And if you can't find it, give me a PM, I might know someone who has a copy
