In reply to the discussion: What Movie(s) Are They Never Allowed to do a Remake of? [View all]Jenoch
(7,720 posts)43. I could list a lot of movies that should never be remade,
but I'll just list a couple.
Saving Private Ryan
I don't think it could be improved upon.
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World
There were so many film stars in IAMMMMW that I don't think today's actors would be able to leave their egos behind.
Frankly, there are too many remakes that never should have been made. The remake of Psycho is at the top of that list.
