sometimes you can’t just let a good
thing go welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 movie remakes we’d actually
like to see before we begin we publish
new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
movies we actually enjoyed and would
welcome a second take on if you’re
looking for terrible or disappointing
films that you think need to do over
check out our top 10 worst movies that
deserve a remake I don’t think that’s a
good idea
number 10 the Lost Boys name is Michael
Bay 105 okay we might have all survived
the vampire craze at the mid 2000 and we
understand it will be hard to top Kiefer
Sutherland David who is the coolest
vampire around since the old count
shuffled off escape but a fresh horror
comedy about a motorcycle gang of
teenage Punk’s vampires sounds exactly
like the sort of thing that deserves a
resurrection the creature of the night
Michael just like out of a comic book
your vampire Michael they can even keep
those boss leather jackets and the
subterranean hideaway but maybe next
time let’s have about a hundred percent
you were mullet jury’s still out on the
greased up sacks on the beach and no you
did not miss hear us
number nine the last starfighter
reading star mitre you have been sorry
defend the frontier against xur and the
ko-dan armada yeah yeah the plant may
sound a little familiar but before under
Wiggins was fighting creatures across
space or the Galaxy Quest Crew was
trying to do the same thing if by
mistake there was Alex Rogan that are
known as The Last Starfighter with
cinematic technology doing some
incredible things these days from the
grand vistas of interstellar to the
hyper realism of Avatar imagine if this
1984 cult classic was given the modern
blockbuster treatment wait a minute wait
a minute wait what we talking about
recruit the original was meant to have a
sequel that never materialized but for
modern moviegoers looking for more this
one would lend nicely to a new sci-fi
franchise will we ever get tired of the
chosen one motif the answer is No
[Music]
number eight dragon heart and at the
moment of his death the night became
alive with those stars and thus was born
the dragon cavern critics weren’t wild
about this one but audiences were this
cult classic took us to the stars giving
us a standout tale starring Dennis Quaid
and that really climactic score
this 1996 fantasy adventure was a
remarkably fun romp about a cynical
night The Last Dragon and a good prince
who turned into an evil king while the
film was a delight back in 1996 and was
even nominated for an Oscar for its
visual effects 21st century technology
could give it a good face lift we keep
Sean Connery as the voice of Draco the
dragon and with updated graphics we’d be
right in line at the theater a little
overconfident partly hardly but if you
win you’ll be out of work I will not
stop until I rid the world of every last
one of you
number 7 Pet Sematary when Stephen
King’s books are adapted for film they
unfortunately tend to be hit or miss
well this is the strongest adaptation of
Kings great body of work it was freaky
enough to get our attention as kids with
Carrie and it already receiving updates
we might as well throw Pet Sematary onto
the pile of King classics to get a
makeover rad
between a dead pet and then a dead kid
this supernatural horror was certainly
gut-wrenching sadly Fred Gwynne who
played mysterious neighbor Judd Crandall
passed away in 1993 so we need someone
else for that intense Maine accent
sometimes mother number 6 gremlins I’ve
warned you
never have the holidays in horror being
so seamlessly blended this admittedly
bizarre 1984 Chris Columbus penned
offering was a huge success and saw its
share of imitators but nothing could
ever quite capture its magic
in a world fascinated by fantastical
creatures big and small what didn’t it
make sense to revisit one of the
original pocket-sized critters the use
of puppets is truly a big part of what
made the film memorable and we’d hate to
see gizmo and his evil clothes reduced
to dodgy CGI but since there seems to be
a renewed appreciation for physical
props in Hollywood maybe we don’t have
to worry 5 Fahrenheit 451 behind each of
these books there’s a man that sort into
its missile victim alone and go back to
bed this adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s
1953 novel of the same name
takes the trope of set in the
not-too-distant future and does
something new with it I have fond of the
temperatures which book paper catches
fire on South – boom given the average
moviegoer carries a super computer in
their pocket nowadays it feels like the
unspecified feature in the movie is
already in our past and the state of the
traditional book publishing industry as
well as fears that general public is
losing touch with books makes this story
feel more relevant than ever remember it
may not glow but a book is complete
technology in and of itself and a world
in which that sort of indelible
information is banned we are shuttering
already this house is condemned this is
above the books right here with
everything else
how abandoning the house is one thing
running the books is another isn’t it
number 4 twister you’ve gotta get
further ahead of it I know what I’m
doing
oh the mid-90s a time when you could
name a natural disaster and there was
surely soon to be a film about it total
destruction by a volcano asteroid or
heavy rainfall each went their share of
excitement but our favorite was this
tornado fiend
thrill ride
even with a stellar cast the premise of
a bunch of storm chasers flash
scientists pursuing twisters and
throwing a machine into them to gather
data is amazingly ridiculous but also
amazingly fun rather than go for a
darker gray angle the movie somehow
managed to keep it light-hearted that’s
the sort of 90s nostalgia we’re looking
for
another cow number three Highlander
pretty James there can only be one not
with that attitude
this classic fantasy about a long
lasting feud between immortals clashing
in a final battle in 1980s New York City
has a devout cult following and we
understand why did you hear how badass
it sounds there can be only one however
despite this and it’s awesome soundtrack
by Queen even diehard fans will admit
that while entertaining it’s not perfect
namely when it comes to curious casting
choices for the immortal Scotsman they
went with French actor Christopher
dumbbell and for his Egyptian / Spanish
mentor they went with the most famous
Scottish actor of all time we’d still
like to see Connor MacLeod and the
kurgan Duke it out in modern day NYC
[Music]
number two the Guney
[Music]
there are very few people who are not
totally enchanted by this 1985 story of
pirates robbers and adventure when they
first saw it and honestly like most
things Spielberg has a hand in this one
still holds up amazingly well this was
my dream I wish it didn’t come true I’m
taking it back
that being said we’d love to see a fresh
take on the classic maybe thrill a girl
or two into the Coruna group
what would the Goonies have done if it
had a couple of smartphones at their
disposal inquiring minds want to know
it doesn’t really seem fair that the 80s
and 90s got all the great stuff so it’s
time to share the love and the treasure
with the younger generation down here
it’s our time it’s our time down here
before we name our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
[Music]
yeah Kelly right now what’s it worth
I’m afraid those are the negative two
which kennel mutters earlier because oh
my god are you planning to blackmail him
was life threatening not number one do
[Music]
I know this epic sci-fi flick never
really got the love it deserved
while many viewers enjoyed it the movie
was panned by critics even director
David Lynch distanced himself after the
product which released the story of Paul
Atreides directing the Freeman in a
battle to reclaim their home planet and
its precious spice has somehow been
overlooked in the great annals of
cinematic history time to bring it back
right I must not see yours tonight
because we’d love to see this back in
theaters or maybe as a killer miniseries
while Kyle MacLachlan might not be able
to play a 15 year old pole again maybe
the basically ageless Patrick Stewart
could reprise his role as the minstrel
Flash mentor gurney Halleck wait are we
sure she’s not a Highlander I’m not the
mood melting the mood moves up saying
for cattle and love play not spiking do
