Well really you can't make Adventures in babysitting over since the whole movie relies on a world without cellphones. I still passed on that one though because it just didn't look good.

I don't put a lot of stock in Rotten Tomatoes, the audience score is the important part, i mean they gave the Omega Code and Howard the Duck a higher rating. Between Lori Loughlin's hotness and the "send me an angel" scene, the movies deserves at least a 10% by any objective standard!

Man, I loved The Girl, The Gold Watch & Everything when I was a kid too. I barely remember anything about it beyond the time stopping, but I know I loved it, and I've always remembered that title.

There ever been a Steven Seagal equivalent in recent years? His movies weren't spectacular, but as a kid they were enjoyable. Sometimes you need a guy that goes around on a revenge riff. Not a continuing series, but like his were with him as a different guy pretty much kicking people's asses for whatever reason.
Ya know, they give the main guy a new generic family that gets killed off in every new movie and he goes all angel of vengeance and shit.

As a little kid I used to watch the 1960's British TV show 'Thunderbirds!'
Then about 10 years ago, they made a film . . . and did it all wrong. They used human actors and made it all real world.
It should have been a CGI film, recreating the old look and feel of the marionettes and the future / retro high tech world. Over the top rescue situations, it could have been so cool.
Hollywood, please again and do it right.

Couple movies I would love to see remade, but Hollywood would most likely fuck them up:
Night of the Comet, Rock and Rule, A Boy and his Dog, Force 10 from Navarone, or Logan's Run. A lot of the suggestions in this thread are pretty decent, too. I think the key ingredient to a good remake is to take something sci-fi that's not tied into the pop culture at the time of its release, but has a simple enough premise that you can put a new spin on it to make it interesting. Trying to just remake something and put current pop culture humor always falls flat as does simply redoing the original note for note.
