1.
Back to the Future -
2.
You've Got Mail
There's no way that concept works in any year outside of the 1997-1999 range. -
3.
Goodfellas -
4.
Shawshank. There are no advances in technology, cinematography, writing, or acting that could possibly add anything to that movie. -
5.
A remake of Airplane? Surely, you can’t be serious! -
6.
Alien (1979). It’s still so good 40+ years later. -
7.
Big Trouble in Little China. It’s already about as close to perfect as a movie can be and is also very much a movie of its time. -
8.
Groundhog Day
But it would be hilarious to re-release it and pretend it’s a new movie -
9.
Labyrinth. I like to think that David Bowie didn’t realize they were making a movie and thought it was all real. -
10.
The Princess Bride. -
11.
Pulp Fiction. Fortunately, Tarantino makes movies that I don't think anyone would even attempt to try to remake. -
12.
Mr. Bean. No one will ever be able to recreate the character as well as Rowan Atkinson. Really anything from Rowan Atkinson can never be remade. Blackadder for instance -
13.
Mrs. Doubtfire -
14.
Jaws! The shark was huge but nothing in the movie was unbelievable. It was paced beautifully. The "we delivered the bomb" scene is incredible. -
15.
The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Gondor has no remakes. Gondor needs no remakes. -
16.
The Goonies -
17.
Galaxy Quest. “By Grabthar’s hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged.” -
18.
The Big Lebowski -
19.
The Fifth Element
Everything about it was perfect -
20.
The Truman Show. Jim Carrey was the perfect actor for a movie that’s both slightly comedic and tragic at the same time. -
21.
Stand By Me
That combo of young actors just worked so well, and I just can’t imagine it would work so well again -
22.
Requiem for a Dream.
Great movie. Watched it once. Won’t watch again. -
23.
Besides the fact that Tom Hanks was perfect, I don’t see a modern remake of Forrest Gump being received well based on cultural shifts alone -
24.
Beetlejuice. There's really no beating the casting of that movie as it was. -
25.
Anything by Monty Python. They can't be improved on and the dodgy special effects only add to the humor.
