What movie deserves a remake with todays SFX and budgets?

Asked by 6rant6 (13700points) August 14th, 2011

Was watching Total Recall this afternoon. It’s an interesting exploration on the nature of man: “You are what you do, not your memories.”

But the special effects are so cheezy (and the performances so lamentable) that it’s hard to sit through it without laughing. Every crowd shot is four people in make up and a dozen other people spread out to look like a crowd. All the action scenes are blasted with smoke machines to appear less redundant.

If they shot it now, I’m sure that Quato and Benny would look fantasic. I’m sure Venusville would be truly titillating, and the final sequence… well who knows? They could even get an actor to play the lead.

I’d like to see the Philip K Dick short story brought to life again.

So anyway, what movie do you think deserves a modern remake?
