Please gods, never let anyone remake:
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Casablanca
Lawrence of Arabia
The Matrix
Fight Club
... the list goes on and on.
In general, I am opposed to remaking any movie, song or TV show. Words cannot convey how unhappy I am with the trend of American television attempting to harness good British comedy for their own means. It will never work in this country and if you want proof of that, watch BBC's Coupling (its on DVD, you can rent it) and then wait til this fall when NBC releases its version of the show.
*breathes deeply*
Sorry, needed to get that out of my system.
On the other side of the coin though, there are movies that I know would have been better with just slight casting changes. One of the first thoughts that comes to mind is getting Alec Baldwin out of the Jack Ryan role.
