Post List remakes worth doing

Since there's so much talk going on about remakes and the general feeling is that they suck, I was thinking: are there any movies that you feel would actually be worth remaking? Which ones?

Personally I wouldn't mind watching Salem's Lot be remade... I saw both versions (don't know if there are more) and they were pitifull! And I think the book is great and had potential to become a good movie (or mini series, since the story is kinda big).


PS: Don't know if anyone had posted something like this before, the Search option isn't working.

Yes.. but sometimes the stories have been told in a pathetic way.. maybe in those cases they're worth being told again.

I always wanted them to do a remake of V, the alien invasion series from the 80's.

I didn't have any information on it before watching the movie so I can't tell what was wrong (apart from that general this-is-too-hollywoodish feel). What do you think should be changed?
