There are some really good movies I wouldn’t mind a modern rendition of.

Forest Gump, I think, would be an absolute winner. Whole premise could be redone every 30 years (yes it’s been 30 years) with great effect.

Would new Forest live through the 90s-20s instead of the 50s-90s?

I'm not sure it'd make a good story. The technology is what changed the world in the past 30 years. The 1960s were a super tumultuous time and make a good sorry.

I always felt like Flowers For Algernon was such a compelling book and the only movie i know of is one of the worst things I've ever seen. You would think it was a comedy based on that movie.

Downsized.

Actually use the cool idea of a dystopian future so expensive, it's more economical to shrink down to the size of a GI Joe and ditch the romcom shit.

I wasn't sure if rollerball was big or not at the time.

But in todays age that could do with a remake. Dystopian movie, with world run by the corporations and humanity is kept satisfied with entertainment.

His Dark Materials was like this. The Golden Compass was poorly reviewed, and I'm glad that the TV series were made.

Ghost in the shell movie doesn't exist

The anime film was great. Why'd they need to live action that shit up?

Sequels too. A perfect movie can't benefit from them, but shitty movies might be able to.
