I would love to see a remake of both "THE GATE" 1987 and "THE LOST BOYS" 1987.
GREMLINS would be awesome, Villain. Also "THE RESURRECTED AKA SHATTERBRAIN" 1991.

I would really like to see a Gremlins remake as well. Have to think about more, honestly for the most part remakes aren't that great. As most of the time the new movies aren't even the same.

I don't know how they would rationalize The Gate nowadays. The premise was based on 'scary hidden messages' in heavy metal through backmasking. The problem is no one takes heavy metal seriously anymore, at least for shock value. The music genre burned out its shock value long ago.

Almost all the remakes have been pale imitations of the original and reminded me of the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
NIGHT OF THE DEMON or LEGEND OF HELL HOUSE might be considered, but as posted none of the pointless CGI and "Hip" dialogue which has sunk so many remakes, like THE HAUNTING and HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL.

The Quatermass Experiment, Quatermass II, and Quatermass and the Pit were all TV shows first. Unfortunately, most of the The Quatermass Experiment episodes are lost.

I wouldn't mind seeing a GOOD Toxic Avenger remake.
With just make-up and fake blood. No CGI. Let the people from Feast do the work.
The guy that plays Leonard in The Big Bang Theory could play the janitor geek.
He's kinda scrawny and has a bit of a whiny voice.

The Hunger [1983]. It's really the ending - which wildly differs from the book's - that needs re-working. I'm not sure why they changed it to begin with and in such a forced, confused manner. It's a real blight on the whole film.

Hmmm.... Generally speaking, I don't see the point of remakes, that is, near frame by frame redos... but reinterpretations of past films... those can be quite good.

Generally, you want films that were great ideas, but the films were not done well.

I think a modern Creature of the Black Lagoon has a lot of room to make a great film. I have yet to see a very modern, even futuristic, Frankenstein done well. I think The Killer Shrews could be a big budget blast. A remake of Day of the Triffids could be quite good.

There have been 2 mini-series made of it - a really good one made in 1981 and a terrible one in 2009.
