Ok I'll play, here are my suggestions:

The Black Hole - this could be great with some good creative people behind it, the framework story works they just need to keep it from being silly
Devil's Rain - I imagined a Josh Brolin as a sheriff out west in a sort of No Country for old men with devil worshippers
Logan's Run - I LOVE this movie but it is dated and a new version could be a lot of fun with a good budget behind it
Silent Running - again so topical for now with its environmental message , this is ripe for remake potential and dear god please  no Joan Baez songs on the soundtrack

 cheers

That one was so heavy handed that the Joan Baez songs were the best part.

I was watching the Eiger Sanction and thought a modern update would be the ticket.  Maybe with someone more believable as a killer...  I just could never trust the Eastwood was this cold hard killer for money.

Godfather III. 

Please. Or a new Director's cut. Love the ending.  Love the beginning.  But always disappointing  in between.

I'd like to see a remake of One Million Years BC, starring Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel and Amber Heard.
Yeah, that would make my millennium.
Oh, and Scarlett Johansson, too.

I'd like a remake of A Chorus Line, or better still, release the Broadway stage recording.  What they did to that show was criminal.

Innerspace...



and Dreamscape.



Two great stories that were completely overlooked when they came out and could benefit from today's effects.

I agree with both of those. I still enjoy both, but yeah... the effects are a little (or a lot) dated.

T with the Dennis Quaid fetish.

I have a 30 x 40 for that Dreamscape. Thought it was a pretty cool movie that no one saw.

No remake. Just watch it.

Edit: Here she is. Too many posters unsorted.  :-[

Clones of Bruce Lee by Tim Burton.....it would prolly focus more on the horror element though that the kf.
