Movie Remakes they SHOULD consider

[mousepod]

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.
