Here's a novel idea: Instead of remaking beloved classics, why not remake old movies based on good source material that for whatever reason didn't do so well at the box office?

TBF they do do that occasionally. Two of the best examples of remakes are Ben Hur (1959) and The Maltese Falcon (1941). They are both the third versions of their stories. Of course, Ben Hur (2016) shows that you should know when to stop.

Yea bc I hated it with a passion. The extreme sports guys/robbers were realistic bc that sub group has changed so much in looks & attitude in 30 years but that is a negative for the film. The original robbers, as well as the nazi surfers (with Andy Kaidis) were perfect for the film along with Bodhi's spirituality. Can't remake the mental flight he was on. They are short changing the audience if they try...which they did.☹️👎🏼

[@Treysor101]

For me. The 90's American Godzilla version is something I've always secretly appreciated. Not because of the content though! Buy because it was the FIRST TIME I ever saw Godzilla. I was far too young to know who "Gojira" was and never found out Godzilla was a "rip off" until I got older. With no access to internet (90's) or any eastern culture influence, this was it for me. My first look into monster movies. Nowadays I see why people didn't like it, but for me, it's nostalgia.

[@joshuaortiz7813]

Basically this. I mean I think my adolescent mind was aware Godzilla was a bigger thing before this movie, but as is the case with most youth, I wasn't interested in watching older movies.

[@kingbeef66]

As a 90s kid, that Godzilla movie holds a special place in my heart.

[@Damonpuss]

Hollywood continues to delude itself into thinking that shoving a piece of art through their "update" filter produces a worthy result instead of a string of abysmal unwatchable failures. I wish someone would make them stop. The continual attempts to monetise previous successes is embarrassing, disrespectful and in 99% of cases wholly unnecessary.

[@DJ-Eye]

Exactly that. Yet they don't care when it flops, because they have a backup plan - to almost immediately sell it to the TV networks on the cheap for endless repeats. This drives you away from TV and supposedly back to the theatres - which is misguided - as the tik-tok generation has neither the time or patience to sit in one. And it's not just destroying the classics. Endless sequels of franchises and spin-offs are an even bigger travesty. Like the total mess that the plethora of DC and Marvel comic movies have become. This is what results from paying cynical adults to guess what pleases the youngsters AND caring about money more than your art AND running the industry like gangsters.

[@art.of.verser]

I called Psycho 1998 before finishing this video. But honestly, this is why film reboots hardly get much love from audiences that make the classics so engrossing in the first place. I'm all for nostalgia, but most of the movies are untouchable for a reason.

The original Pink Panther movie was, in my opinion, overrated. I found The sequels to be a lot funnier.

[@giovannisalamon2706]

The movies that stuck out was Total Recall, Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Pink Panther. I was a young adult in the 90s, but do remember there were some hot movies out in that decade (I mainly watched on VHS either alone, with a group of friends, family, etc... and did not see any of the great movies in theatre but they were so good you didn't mind watching it on the old CRT-TV). Total Recall (1990) was amazing and total white nuckle sci-fi action feeling , almost from beginning to end, and I re-watched it lots of times, whereas the 2012 version, despite watching it in cinema in 2012 when it was out, felt too anemic in comparison to that. Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978) is a movie that I re-watch now and again because there are so many modern parallels to it, despite the difference of decades, that it still comes across as a great movie (rather than a weak 70s movie that's has more period specific and therefore has more interesting time-capsule effects than story), whereas I forgot about the Invasion (2007), again too anemic compared to the 1978 version. As for Pink Panther, I'd say Peter Sellers is perfectly cast on that role. Steve Martin doesn't seem compatible enough for the role or feels like that goofy inspector. It's just not the same. The rest of the selection, I couldn't care about, but those stood out with me.

[@PhilAndersonOutside]

Excellent point. If you go back to many of the great writers from that era who are thought of as "sci fi" many actually wrote speculative fiction, with social commentary as subtext. I'm talking everyone from Ray Bradbury to Alfred Bester, Rod Serling, Harlan Ellison, William F Nolan, Philip K Dick, Harry Harrison, etc. All of them very much fiction, comments on society, warnings of the future, as anything.

[@BonuxCouleur]

@@PhilAndersonOutside True. When you read Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep or The Running Man, they are considerably more socially oriented than their Hollywood version cared to show. People who loved the movies should really give the books a chance, it is another level of reflection. That's why Cinema will never be an equal to Literature. There is a depth and a mechanic of imagination and thought provoking reactions that people will never get from a movie. A book is very proactive and requires some cerebral effort. It is a real shame that books have kept declining over the last decade very steadily. It shows people are contempt to let others do the thinking and the interpreting on their behalf. It is a dangerous path to be so passive in the name of entertainment when the goal of the writers was certainly to entice people to read more and become human again or at least less robotic and systemic.

I was excited when said they were going to remake it. Then I went to the theater...... and wished I could go back in time to before they made that steaming pile.

I was born during the 80s too, and I too enjoyed the original. Good stop-motion animation, better story, costumes, music, and of course, it had that cute and funny mechanical owl.

[@tomstamford6837]

Me too. Sadly, as much as I enjoyed the original too, I learned from watching it again many years later, best not to revisit them as they don't hold up and disappointment is inevitable. Not to say the remake was worth the effort, but you must have come across this yourself at some point? Films that wowed me as a kid left a very different impression. Did you ever see Battle Beyond the Stars? Loved that film too - hard to watch these days.

[@Wolfbearfox]

Same 80s childhood and I love the original Clash of the Titans. Even with modern technology for the remake, they couldn't come close what Ray Harryhausens did with his dynamation for the original.

I actually liked the 1998 version of GODZILLA even though the acting and most of the visuals don't age well. Also, I loved the hell out of the remakes of TOTAL RECALL and CLASH OF THE TITANS. So much more than their respective originals. The remake of TOTAL RECALL was never "boring" or "by-the-numbers" as WatchMojo described it. It was fun, has incredible production design, and amazing action. The remake of CLASH OF THE TITANS has bad 3-D, but that was only one of the few flaws of the film. Aside from that... this remake had Hades, amazing actors, badass action, incredible visual effects, and a dark tone.

Agreed. If it was it´s own sci-fi thriller slash mystery, it´d be quite good. Actually, the only change it needed was to move it from the Earth to some random planet or moon in the galaxy.
