I think they should remake Casablanca. But make it a comedy. Replace everyone with women and black folks. Except the piano guy. Have Steve Martin play banjo, instead. It would be a real money maker game changer.

OP did you know that Michael Douglas played the same person in Ant Man as he did in Falling Down. Hank "D FENS" Pym even wore his now sunbleached glasses from Falling Down in the new Ant Man

Remake the Rush Hour movies, but ethnicity- and country-swapped, so it's a high-octane badass black guy helping out a Chinese comedic relief (I'm picturing Michael Jai White and Garett Wang, i.e. Ensign Harry Kim), as they fight criminals in Hong Kong and instead of real kungfu the action is done real dumb and over the top ala Black Dynamite

Remake Left Behind except instead of just starring Nicholas Cage, all of the characters are played by Nicholas Cage like that Eddie Murphy movie.

American Pie

Thanks to everyone using social media, the gang's plan to get laid before going to college goes viral, causing a national controversy. They get barred from prom and end up spending the night playing GTA Online and downloading porn.

Also, Jim's Mom tweets, "Caught my son trying to play with himself looking at porn on his iPad. LOL." which further humiliates him at school.

Austin Powers: In 2004 the world's best secret agent was put into cryogenic stasis in case he was ever needed again. But he's been woken up in 2018...

Unfortunately, the Austin Powers of 2004 was more like Jason Bourne than Roger Moore and this superviolent and emotionally troubled Austin who can break a man in 2 seconds has awoken in a world were modern action heroes and villains have become all witty, quippy and snarky.

This would be loving hilarious, because so many people are goddamn stupid and actually think that D-FENS is the hardworking hero of that story when he's actually just a goddamn psychopath.

Swap it out with a muslim and every single one of those people would instantly turn into giant crybabies saying how disgusting it is that they made a film that glorifies terrorism.

They should remake watership down but with modern cgi like the hit Alvin and the Chipmunk movies

And also there should be a bunch of small bunnies that travel with them that are yellow and wear goggles

And they should make Blackavar a wise-cracking urban rabbit that just can't catch a break and eventually he gets killed by General Woundwort who wears a police uniform now.

Twister: This time the twister is a government experiment that is a sentient tornado. We made it to fight wars for us, but it rebelled and decided it was better than humans. It's growing bigger and if we don't take this sonuva bitch out now then we're all dead!

"General, I've been reading the data and we've got another problem with Project: Twister..."
"What he doing now?"
'Not HE, sir. That's the problem. We've figured out why Twister gotten larger..." (throws down IR and UV photos) "It's PREGNANT!"
(Close up of photos of baby tornadoes inside project Twister)

a Heat remake would be loving terrible--mostly because they'd never capture the pacino/de niro chemistry and magic of the original.

Monster Squad remake would be a good idea. The original is still fun, but every other word of dialogue is "fag". Which, while a very authentic representation of how kids talked in that era, makes it kind of unsuitable as a children's movie these days.

No, you're thinking of their intended reboot of "Birth of a Nation." Understandable mistake, though.

Also, OP, 99% of the time remakes are the opposite of cool and good and should be avoided.

No, they shouldn't remake it.

"Falling Down" worked because it came out in an era where all the conceptual wheels of the American dream really began to fall off and reveal the ugly rust on the axles. The alienation of D-Fens and the seeming sense of betrayal he felt about society was something that the audience could relate to, especially in the post-Reagan, post-Cold War period of the early 1990s when all the doubts and fears started to creep in (since we no longer had the Soviet Union and the political threat of immediate nuclear annihilation to test ourselves against). Now, we've become inured to this bullshit in this bullshit nation we call America and there's nothing terribly impacting plot-wise about some white-collar guy losing his job and his mind.
