Which old film would you remake if you were a film producer and which film would you consider such a classic that it would be too sacred to remake?
I would remake 'Westworld' and I would consider 'Whisky Galore' too sacred to remake.

Courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.
I don't think any films should be remade. 90 odd percent of the output these days is either poor remakes or total no-brain nonsense. Roll on some originality and intelligence, coupled to a decent story for a change.
If you are going to remake anything, try Titanic and cut two hours off the running time, lose Celine Dion (My fart will go on) and change the story to a Carribean cruise where topless sunbathing is mandatory (TITanic) Make sure George Clooney plays the ugliest guy on the trip. Somehow manage to work cars, drugs and guns into the plot (not easy for the former with it being at sea and all that) and I am sure you could have a box office winner.
Gone with the wind.
A fantastic book and the film doesn't do it justice. The actors and actresses in it are way too old to be playing the parts of 16 year olds and the film missed too many important parts of the book and ended up not making sense.
'Scarlet' on the other hand - fantastic. Use Timothy Dalton and Joanne Whalley Kilmer to play the parts in 'Gone with the wind'.
Despite that, it's still my favourite book ever!!!!!!!

Wuthering Heights, only because I always feel that it is so dark in black & white that I can never really see what's happening. Love to see Ewan McGregor as Heathcliffe and Nicole Kidman as Cathy.

Can't think of a remake but I think Threads is sacred. I havn't seen it for years but it still sticks in my mind, in fact I'm off to order it now.
Don't wrestle with pigs, you just get all dirty and the pig enjoys it.
could remake wizard of oz especially wi the special effects the day.
(wouldnt thou)
shouldnt remake star wars or lord of the rings
no amount of darkness can drive out darkness
only light can do that.
The magic of reading a book and interpretating it into film.Read the books of Lord of the Rings years and years ago and thought it would be impossible to see in film.How wrong I was,Peter Jackson brought alive the book like an avid fan he was.
The film i think should be remade is the Omega Man....as I think wi' the special effects o' the day it would do it justice.Although Danny Boyle did do his damndest in 28 Days Later.
The film most sacred to me that shouldnae be remade,as other orgers have said is the Wicker Man.But they did it and it is a heap o poo!!!
Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho
RedStorm Rising might make a good film
