I have always been a fan of FLASH GORDON. I loved the Alex Raymond comic strip and the old Buster Crabbe serials.
But the only things I liked about the Mike Hodges 1980 'remake' was the soundtrack by Queen, Max Von Sydow as Ming and Ornella Muti as Princess Aura.
I think it screams out to be remade.
Any casting suggestions?

I gotta disagree on this one. The 1980 version is brilliant and should be left alone. It was intentionally campy before it was popular to do so, and it stands the test of time as being one of my favorite of the 1980's fantasy/sci-fi films.

I might very well be in the minority on this one...IMDB gives it 6.2 out of a 10. I still would like to see it remade -- camp included.  |

I am with you on that, Paul. JASON is my favorite Harryhausen film but...American TV already remade it in 2000 and I thought it was abysmal, CGI FX and all... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0217579/ |

Troy WITHOUT so MUCH of the CGI and without Brad Pitt...Oh and it should be at least 3 1/2 hours long  To be fair...Brian Cox, Peter OToole and the chick from National Treasure/Inglorious Basterds as Helen were pretty good in it. For different reasons. |

This film needs a first rate production team, maybe Harryhausen could spearhead it. That would be cool. |

I would actually like to see a remake of The Great Escape in the hands of the right director, though the casting department would have to be very careful with Steve McQueen's character (Daniel Craig maybe???). That is not to say that replacing any of the other legends would be easy, but McQueen was the lynch pin. I absolutely love the original, but I always felt like it had a very Disney feel to it. A gritter more realistic take would be very well received I think.

I for one would be happy if studios started coming up with original f*#king ideas instead of having their marketing departments trying to figure out how to convert our lifetime of fond movie memories into 3 measly days of opening-weekend windfall profits.
But hey, maybe that is just me.

You Ari, are the only one in the whole world I like that eats offal, misses his dead rat carcasses, draws women on walls with skin peeling off of them and keeps a meat cleaver by his bed.

The Infidel..quite a recent Brit movie about a devout Muslim adopted when he was a baby,who later finds out his real parents are Jewish.... was reasonably funny, but i think if the people from Curb Your Enthusiasm got involved it would be top notch.

I'd like to see a remake of DINOSAURUS, that 1960 sci-fi fantasy about a T Rex, Brontosaurus and Caveman thawed out in modern times. Some new CGI effects and...maybe Brandon Frazier as the Neanderthal (he was good as ENCINO MAN)... |

I do enjoy the first film with Laughton, but I'm on board for a remake, timing should be right as well. |
