Whats the 1 film you hope never gets the remake treatment (Page 2 of 2)

Most of the movies I wouldn't want to see remade have already been done.
TCM
Psycho
The Shining
or
are in the works
Black Christmas
Pet Sematary

If I had to choose one to leave out of the remake trend, I couldn't.
I can pick at least four though.
I hope they never remake..

The Brood
Poltergeist
The Exorcist
Hellraiser

I think some people depend on remakes to watch the classics. Because in countries like India we don't have all the DVDs available as in USA. I am waiting from ages to watch the original Halloween, but DVDs are not available here and TV channels don't show this film. The only way left is to purchase the DVD online but that will cost too much due to delivery charges. If they remade the Halloween movie, I can watch it in the theatre which will give a better thrill. I have a list of 250 top horror movies but can't find most of the movies here. I tried DVD rentals too but so many movies are not available. Example Poltergiest..did i spell that right?

Any helpful ideas?

Luckily I found TCM (Tobe Hopper) in a DVD rental shop with a different name (USA Ferox). Now a days there is a f***ing trend here to translate English movies into local languages depending on the state. Top box office movies like Pirates, Underworld, Superman are released in English (in major cities) and dubbed into Hindi (national language) and dubbed into some state languages for those who don't know Hindi. I prefer to watch in the original English language.

ban, Nicholson was in Kubrick's original adaptation of King's book.

King though is apparently displeased with aspects of Kubrick's book and he asked Mick Garris (The Stand, Desperation, and creator of Masters of Horror) to helm a remake for TV which he wrote. (i think)

So, Garris' version is the remake...Kubrick's is the original.  I haven't seen either one...I plan to after I read the book but I got a lot on my plate right now.

Yea i have to agree.  Nicholson deserves an emmy winning performance as Jack Torrence.  The other version I saw on the sci-fi channel and it was downright crap.  Really boring, and didnt have the same suspense the original had.

I might hurt someone if they remake The Burning or The Prowler...other than that I'm fine with remakes.

An American Werewolf in London. No way, no how. This movie is a classic that should never even be used in the same conversation as the word 'remake'. Can you imagine them replacing the original transformation scene with a CGI version of it instead? Makes me sick just thinking about it.

i dont want the Warriors remade but i hear they are. a real upset if ya ask me.

I couldnt see anyone else directing Hellraiser either, except of coure THE CREATOR.  Clive Barker.

I hope they don't try to remake Alien or Friday the 13th, and if they to remake a nightmare on elm street, then I'll really be pissed.

i hard there remaking friday the 13th and nightmare on elmstreet but i wish they werent remaking it i hope they never remake hostel or the saw's

Barker is going to remake his own baby (Hellraiser) so I can go along with that.
I have a feeling he will kill off Pinhead in it, since thats his plan in his book "The Scarlet Gospels".
