Agreed.
Though I would like to see a Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy remake...just because I demand a quality film adaptation of that book.
Dude you cant remake My Cousin Vinny there is no way im sorry you cant beat that
No, my cousin Vinny is a classic, you take joe pesci out of that movie and you automatically have a fail remake

I'd like to see Transformers, GI JOE, and the other bastions of my child hood remade. And I'd like them to be good this time around

im with sexy on this one
you dont mess with the classics
just like you dont cross the streams
remaking terrible takes on a movie adaptation of a book is one thing
but you cant screw around with success
No Offense but just by making a dif version of a classic doesn't ruin them.
Most of the time the Classic stands out more because the newer one wasn't as good!!!
and it all depends on the person and it depends on how you remake it.
There could be a completely dif director and making it almost a whole diff movie than the orriginal
like they did with batman which i love the classic ones better but still the newer ones are great too but i would like to say that the new joker was almost just as good as jack!!!

Tron! ...oh wait.
^ Not really
I'd like to see some of these old war movies remade. A Bridge Too Far, or All Quiet on the Western Front. Also, Battle of the Bulge.
And I agree, we're suggesting remakes here. That doesn't mean that it has to put the classic films to shame. A new ghost busters and swamp thing would be interesting for me.

if they did western front, they'd probably set it in some modern day call of duty set thing.

A classic is by definition a classic. A film which is either has great cultural, aesthetic or historical significance. They tend to stand up on their own whether or not a remake is done.
When dealing with an original IP, such as Ghostbusters or Raiders of the Lost Ark, a remake's source materiel can only come from the original film and thus will always feel as a sub-par knock-off. The Batman example rings a little hollow because Burton and the Nolans both adapted their films from the Batman comics, which is a nearly endless well of stories. Batman started in 39' and the joker started in 40', we basically have 70 years of those two going at each other. There are plenty of stories to tell in the Batman Universe. Remaking a film that is based on already existing property has a better chance of succeeding.
Remakes are rarely as good as the original and by rarely I'm guessing somewhere in the 90-95% range. The driving factor for most remakes are a financial one. The studio/holding company has a property that is no longer generating money so they do a remake. Lets use the A Nightmare on Elm Street remake as an example, the movie is a flaming piece of crap. Even though it was a piece of crap, the film still pulled in $105 million worldwide during it's theater run. There was also an increase in DVD sales of the original, basically making it a win-win for the film studio.
So I guess you're right, a remake wont ruin a classic. They're usually just either really bad or completely forgettable and not worth anyone's time.
Oh, and what's with people and DiCaprio in this thread. Sure he was annoying in Titanic, but he's developed into a great actor.
