    If you could re-make any movie with today's technology (CGI, THX, and the rest) which would you want to do over? War of the Worlds would probably be a good one to start with.

    if you consider film to be art, then how do you justify a remake? have to give credit here to gus van sant...at least he didn't try to out-hitchcock hitchcock when he "re-made" psycho.

    in general, i hate remakes. what could possibly be done to dr. strangelove or clockwork orange? fill it with loads of pointless effects that are just not necessary?
    even metropolis, despite being a silent movie, would gain nothing from a cgi spruce up. the story is complete so...what is there to do? make the robot look cooler ? so what?

    Oh sure it would it would of course be a different piece of art not really a remake. Acting styles are different Actually remaking the whole thing as a digital animation with realistic characters would of course be the ultimate irony. Remaking that story from the point of view of a society a the junction of social change much like that of the time in which the original was made but using today's thought would in itself be interesting.

    Becasue they are remaking shitty movies. I figure they might as well start out with genius.
