Default Movies Hollywood respects too much to remake.

Are there any you'd bet on?

For fun, you have to take a drink every time they announce a remake of a movie on your list.

Hollywood respects nothing.

End of thread.

None of them. If they can make money today, they'll remake it. There's always talk of remaking CASABLANCA (and they *have* made a TV series from it in the past).

It's a business. It's all about the money.

Anything Spielberg has directed will probably forever be off-limits. Films he's produced, no so much, as POLTERGEIST is proving....

I would say even DUEL is off-limits, yes.

There is nothing Hollyood respects enough not to remake it. There is stuff we respect enough not to want remade, but even in those cases there are ten times as many people out there who don't give a fig, who will gladly stump up $12 if the lead actress gets her kit off and its loud in all the right places.

I don't think there's anything that's off limits.

I keep waiting for the announcement that Will Ferrell and Seth Rogen are to star in a remake of Some Like it Hot.
