I shudder to think how politically correct they'd have to make Patton if it were re-done in today's Hollywood.
RAMONES!,
I was interested in your pick of The Shining as a movie that shouldn't have been re-made. Stephen King always hated the Stanley Kubrick version, and to be honest it wasn't very close to the novel. The re-make was Stephen King's scripted re-make, so it was more true to the novel. However, I'm so comfortable with the Kubrick version that it almost seems like two different stories to me now.
And it seems that most of King's great stories don't translate very well to the screen (with a few very notable exceptions).
