They really nailed it with Dune. With the combination of a bigger budget and better special effects (as well as good acting, writing, directing) they were able to take a kinda bad 80’s movie and nail it
Got me thinking, what movies would you like to see remade?

Really, Dune?? I lost a couple hours of my life on that movie that I will never get back. Wonder around the desert, then, wonder around the desert a little more, the end. It was horrible.

At least spell your main gripe correctly, sheesh.
Definitely thought it was better than the original. I thought part 1 dragged a bit, but it left me wanting to see part 2. Waiting until it comes out on streaming.
The Three Amigos.
Will Ferrell, Steve Carrell, Kevin Hart
None.
Come up with new ideas and characters instead of drafting off the effort of previous creators.

The Original was never finished; David Lynch’s was the 2nd attemp
Word on the street is that Cameron had a new Fantastic Voyage in the works
Also a rumor of a JJ Abrams remake of Krull. Which was arguably much worse than the original Dune.
Dunkirk, Schindler’s List, The Pianist, and Enemy at the Gates are all rebooting in 2025. I hope to read your reviews for all of them.
In Time. Interesting concept and Timberlake wasn’t terrible, but the movie fell kind of flat for me.
I’m usually anti-remake, but I think the Soderbergh version of Oceans 11 was much better than the original.

I look forward to a reboot of Enemy at the Gates. The Russian sniper with the heavy English accent was hard to overcome. I enjoyed the movie because I love those old sniper rifles. I’ve owned a Mosin 91/30, just not the sweet scoped sniper.
I read somewhere A Clockwork Orange is getting remade by Guy Ritchie.

Those all seems like really odd choices, wasn’t Dunkirk only out a few years ago?
I’d like to see them remake movies that had a good concept but could have had better execution.
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief comes to mine.
I really enjoyed the books, but man, the movie was terrible.
I also thought Passengers had an interesting premise, but somehow the movie fell flat.

Just trolling slowguy. Apparently he hates WWII vets. Weird for a navy guy, right?

That makes more sense.

D’Kid watched the rebooted series on Disney+ and thought it was vastly superior
I am mostly in agreement with slowguy. I’d much prefer new material. However, it also seems fun to respond to the asked question.
I don’t think rebooting a classic movie, a cult classic, anything from a ‘top ten’ director or top ‘A-list’ actor is a wise idea. It’s unlikely to be done any better than this first time. A little surprised Guy Ritchie would try and reboot a Kubrick.
I am thinking a reboot candidate is a decent movie from the past that just can’t stand the test of time. A movie I enjoyed, but I know my kids would not.
One that comes to mind is ‘The Big Chill’. Reboot with a modern ensemble cast and current awesome soundtrack. It’s likely I would not like the movie, but a younger generation may.

I don’t think Guy Ritchie (or anyone) doing a new version of A Clockwork Orange would be trying to redo Kubrick, but taking a newer look at the novel, instead
I wouldn’t particularly call any new release of a movie based on Frankenstein, Dracula, Pride & Prejudice, or Emma a “reboot”
YMMV

Greatest generation, my ass.
